Gaffron /� Zoning <br /> Title: Asst.Plannin &Zonin Admin. �� � <br /> Item Description: Request for City Sewer, ohn Maresh, 1095 N. Brown Rd./2085 Sixth Ave. N. <br /> Attachments: A- Letter from Mr. Maresh <br /> B - Plat Map/Survey <br /> C - Municipal Sewer Preliminary Layout <br /> Mr. Maresh haS a non-conforming failing septic system which is scheduled to be replaced as soon <br /> as ground conditions permit. As a possible alternative, he is requesting that the City include his <br /> properties in any sewer project that goes forward to serve the Long Lake Country Club area. The <br /> properties consist of a vacant 2-acre lot at 1090 North Brown Road and the Maresh's 2.5-acre <br /> homestead parcel at 2085 Sixth. <br /> Both parcels are outside the area proposed for inclusion in the MUSA, but could conceivably use <br /> two of the 50 undefined sewer units we have requested of Met Council. A potential obstacle, <br /> however, is that those 50 extra units were intended to solve existing problems, not to serve new <br /> development. A few other developed properties along Brown Road North are also likely to make <br /> this request for sewer. <br /> While it might seem incongruous to bring sewer to these two 2-acre lots which were subdivided(and <br /> septic testing performed and accepted) as recently as 1988, Maresh indicates his site evaluator is <br /> skeptical that more than one suitable drainfield site exists on each lot. It would be appropriate for <br /> staff to meet with the site evaluator for confirmation of this if the Council wishes to consider the <br /> properties for possible future sewer. <br /> Note that only minor revisions to the preliminary design of the sewer in Lakeview Terrace would <br /> be necessary in order to provide service to Maresh's propeRies. The vacant lot would need to be <br /> encumbered with an easement to serve the homestead lot. <br /> COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> If Council wishes to consider whether these propeRies should be provided with sewer, direct staff <br /> to meet with the property owner and his consultants to document the need for an alternative to the <br /> use of septic systems. <br />
