Request for Council Action continued <br /> Page 3 <br /> September 17, 1996 <br /> City Sewer Request, John Maresh, 2085 Sixth Avenue North <br /> locations on the residence lot have similarly been disturbed due to the former use as a tree <br /> farm. <br /> Staff s initial reaction is that legal combination of the vacant lot with the residence lot is the <br /> best solution. It can be azgued that the property aparently cannot sustain two rural lots by <br /> virtue of the septic limitations, and this would suggest a combination is appropriate. The <br /> problem for Mr. Maresh is that this leaves him without a second building site within his 4'/Z <br /> acres. <br /> The option of providing sewer to the residence parcel is attractive to the property owner, in <br /> that it solves his existing problem without compromising his second lot. Such a solution may <br /> be feasible on this property but not on many other properties, because Mazesh owns the <br /> property on which an easement would be needed. Providing sewer to his residence would <br /> appear to meet the general criteria discussed for the 50 undefined units to be made available <br /> by Met Council for existing developed properties in distress. The vacant lot could still be <br /> developed with a septic system, and in any case should not be served with sewer since it is <br /> a two acre conforming lot with suitable septic sites, and has no inherent need for municipal <br /> sewer. <br /> Approval of sewer would require an extension westward from the proposed sewer line in <br /> Lakeview Terrace. This would add slightly to the cost of that neighborhood sewer system <br /> which would be offset by one additional unit being brought into the assessment formula. <br /> Council Action Requested <br /> Indicate to Mr. Maresh which, if any, of the above options are acceptable to Council. <br /> lsv <br />
