Jeanne Mabusth, Building 6 Zoning Administrator i.n I • From: Date: Subject: Michael P. Saffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator January 14, 1991 #1615 Gary Mroz & Kenneth Hopkins - Subdivision Septic Testing r^■ I have reviewed the soil testing information submitted and would make the following comments: V. 1.Lot 2, Block 1 has not been tested, and is intended to be served by City sewer from Ferndale Green. A stub is available. 2.Lot 1, Block 1 is split between the cities of Orono and Wayzata approximately 50/50. The preliminary plat drawing does not accurately show the tested and available primary and alternate drainfield sites. I have plotted these on Exhibit A, showing the primary and alternate drainfield sites in yellow, and the hilltop building envelope in blue. 3. 'r*: Schirmers reports that the area just to the east and northeast of the tested drainfield sites contains fill material, hence the drainfield sites cannot be expanded to that relatively flat area. The building envelope southwest of the tested sites is on the high point of the property, and may well allow for a gravity flow trench system from a house developed on the top of the hill. This building envelope is roughly 80' by 140' average, bounded by 30* side setbacks on the west and northwest, by the drainfield sites on the east and northeast, and by the steep slope to the southeast. 4.System design was based on a 5 bedroom home, alternate site also can handle a 5 bedroom home. The I- Based on the above information. Lot 1, Block 1 appears to be cjc ,'able of development using septic system and well. While it might be feasible to locate drainfield sites further west on the property, no such sites will be found further east, hence flexibility of house placement on this 2 acre lot is somewhat limited.
