CITY of ORONO <br />Nott Office Hoa 66•Cryatel Nay, Minnesota 5&3;M& Municipal Ofbcea <br />On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />October 29, 1986 <br />Steve Gardiner <br />3770 Bayside Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />Re: Septic System Repairs <br />Dear Mr. Gardiner: <br />On October 16, I visited your property at your request to <br />review your septic system. I noted the following: <br />1. There is one septic tank of apparently about 650 gallons <br />capacity. (Code for new systems requires two tanks of 1,000 <br />and 750 gallons respectively.) <br />2. This tank is located 30' from your well. well <br />apparently was installed in 1973 with little regard for it's <br />proximity to the septic system. A minimum of 50' well -to - <br />septic tank setback is required by the State Health <br />Department. However, given the 111' depth of your well and <br />the clay layers it penetrates, I doubt that you wou : ever <br />experience any contamination problem. <br />3. The drainfield, apparently located east and soutn of the <br />septic tank, is discharging to the surface and you are <br />correct in assuming that it needs some work. The extent of <br />your drainfield is not known, but I suspect it is no more <br />than 200 s.f. or so. <br />Your property is located in the Stubbs Bay Sewer Study Area. <br />The City is currently studying the possibility of extending <br />municipal sewers to serve portions of the developed area around <br />Stubbs Bay. Although the City has not reached any final <br />conclusion on where sewers will go and what properties will be <br />served, I see your property as a likely candidate to be sewered, <br />and it would be unwise and unfair to require you to replace your <br />system with a totally conforming system if it will not be needed <br />in a very few years. <br />BUILDING A ZONING - 473.7357 a ADMINISTRATION • FINANCE - 473.7358 a PUBLIC WORKS - 473.7359 <br />A.SSFSSINC <br />
