Resolution No. 1095 Page 2 5. The applicant proposed installation of a sewage holding tank instead of a septic tank and on-site drainfield treatment area which installation requires a variance from Section 22.20 Subdivisions 3 and 4 of the City’s On-Site Sewage Treatment Code. 6. This same lot was the subject of an application for lot area, lot width, side setback and holding tank variances by John Nobel, application #429, which was approved by the ‘council on December 18, 1978.

The Council finds that such approval is consistent with the intent of the On-Site Sewage Treatment Code in such unusual conditions, provided that the tank is properly and frequently pumped and services according to the street requirements of said Code. 11. The Council finds that the applicant has not presented nor proven any hardship which would justify granting of any variance to any lakeshore or wetlands setback, and further the
