ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 10,2000 (#7j REQUEST FOR SEWER - S09 BROWN ROAD NORTH - Continued The applicant said tlie lots have been combined. Kelley asked what the Council will do after this property is within the MUSA line and the property owner asks to subdivide the property. Flint said there should be an agreement that the property will not be subdivided. Kelley said he does not think that deed covenant should apply once this property is included in the MUSA line. The property owner should be allowed to subdivide after it is within the MUSA line. Kelley moved, Sansevere seconded, to approve use of one sewer unit for connection of 809 North Brown Road to sanitary sewer with the property owner responsible for all costs associated with the hookup, including the connection fee for the North Long Lake sewer project, and the City Engineer plan approval required.

He said that Hennepin County has adopted an Ordinance for the Regulation of Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS). The County Board requires that each municipality that will retain its own jurisdiction over ISTS must submit a formal statement to that effect prior to 1-1-2000. He said it is clearly the City’s intent to continue local jurisdiction over ISTS. He said that On Site Systems Manager Chris Pence is currently drafting City code revisions which will be submitted to the Council for review and adoption this winter, in order that the City's ordinances address all the recent changes in State regulations. It is staffs current understanding that the City codes must be no less restrictive than State and County- regulations. One potential impact is that Orono may have to require a nonconforming system replacement on a three-year time frame rather than the current seven- to ten-year time frame. Page 17
