CITY of ORONO <br /> Municipal Offices <br /> Street Address: Mailing Address: <br /> `9kESKpg' 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> September 20, 1993 j <br /> Douglas Merz <br /> 380 Turnham Road <br /> Maple Plain, MN 55359 <br /> Dear Mr. Merz: <br /> You have indicated that prior to replacing your failing on-site system, you wish to have some <br /> assurance that City sewer will not be expanding into you neighborhood in the near future. At <br /> this time, no sewer project is scheduled for the Chippewa Lane neighborhood. A <br /> Comprehensive Plan Amendment adopted in January of 1993 indicates four expected sewer <br /> improvements, none of which are near-your current residence. The nearest sewered area is <br /> approximately one mile away and expansions to that system into the five-acre zone are highly <br /> unlikely. <br /> Currently the City plan is not to sewer your neighborhood. The Comprehensive Plan <br /> Amendment does indicate that the Chippewa Lane neighborhood is a rural cluster which has a <br /> higher potential for future septic system problems due to smaller lot sizes and marginal soil and <br /> topographic conditions. At the time the siting of replacement septic systems becomes infeasible, <br /> the City would then weigh options such as cluster septic systems or possibly City sewer. <br /> However, recent septic system repairs have been feasible and therefore City sewer improvements <br /> are not likely for your neighborhood in the near future. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephen Weckman <br /> On-Site Systems Manager <br /> SW/lsv <br /> Telephone (612) 473-7357 FAX 473-0510 <br />
