REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />COUNCIL M6ETINQ <br />OCT 11 l9Wi <br />GUY ur UhONO <br />DATE: October 11, 1999 <br />ITEM NO, <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Engineer's Report <br />Item Description: Request for Sanitary Sewer 925 North Brown Road <br />Introduction <br />We have received a request from the property owner at 925 North Brown Road for connection <br />to sanitary sewer. This property is located on the west side of North Brown Road and adjacent <br />to Dickey Lake. There is an existing pressure sewer line in North Brown Road installed in 1997 <br />for the North Long Lake sewer project. The three properties to the south were sewered as part <br />of the North Long Lake sewer project using the additional sewer units from the 1996 MUSA <br />expansions comprehensive plan amendment. <br />This property is an existing developed lot with a noncompliant septic system. The operation of <br />this system is marginal, as past inspections have noted slight surfacing. The system needs to be <br />replaced by December 31, 2002. <br />The possibilities for septic sites are limited on this property. The owner had Swedland Septic <br />Service complete a system design. There is only room for a primary septic site on the property <br />with no space for an alternate site. Installation of a new mound system will require upgrading of <br />the septic tanks. The installation of a new mound system and tanks is not a practical idea. <br />Without a replacement site, if the new mound site fails connection of the property to sewer will <br />be required. This means that the investment in the tanks is wasted. <br />The new comprehensive plan proposes a MUSA expansion for this area between 2005 and 2010. <br />With the proposed ftmire MUSA expansion, this property will be eligible for sewer in several <br />years. Investment in a new mound system now is a poor idea. <br />Recommendations <br />We are recommending sewering this property using one of the 50 sewer units available from the <br />1996 MUSA expansions comprehensive plan amendment. <br />The 1999 connection charge for hookup to the North Long Lake sewer project is $19,380. <br />Connection of this property will be into a forcemain sewer line, so a grinder pump will be <br />required. Several properties in the North Long Lake project required grinder pumps. As part of
