i w \, t * r L Only the City Council can approve sanitary sewer service to buildings outside the MUSA, hence this is an issue that should be left for Council review. (To summarize the issue: in 1996 the City was granted by Met Council the ability to connect up to 50 existing residences adjacent to existing.sewer lines outside the MUSA. The City Council established that such residences must have an existing failing system with no replacement possibilities. The Council has also considered that existing non- residential uses such as churches should also be connected to sewer when feasible. The Woodhill bam does not meet the criteria for use of the 50 units because it is not a residence, and while it has a non-conforming system due to the 3' separation issue. At the same time, however, this is ftmctionally an institutional/kitchen/quasi-commercial type of use which should be connected to sewer. Staff will be recommending to Council that the bam be allowed to connect to sewer, which is on the same tax parcel as the bam and only about 400' away.) State Code requires a minimum setback to the septic tanks of 1 O' for stmctures. Staff has measured the tank s to be approximately 28' from the bam. A 19'. addition to the building would place the tanks approximately 9* from the new stmcture. This does not meet the State requirement for setback distance to the building. Most of the soil around the building has been disturbed due to the paddlecourt locations, driveway and parking areas, and the practice greens. Staff Recommendation Staff reconunends approval of the conditional use permit to allow expansion of the building by 988 s.f and to proceed to the July 10, 2000 City Council meeting subject to the following conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Final grading and erosion control plans shall be approved by the City Engineer. Access for all contractors and equipment shall use the County Road 15 entrance to the County Club. The building shall meet Fire Code protection standards. The building shall meet the minimum 10' setback to the septic tanks. Evidence of a standard septic system to accommodate the proposed use of the building or connection to sanitary sewer only if approved by the City Council.
