ORDINANCE 120, 2^^^ SERIES susbsequently placed a moratorium on enforcement of Ord. 118 pending review of "hot spot" areas within City which might be better served by municipal sewer than by on-site system replacement. 1994 "10 HOT SPOTS" ALTERNATIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDIES resulted in City action to delay replacement of nonconforming septic systems in 10 identified rural neighborhoods where it was concluded that long-term sewage treatment should be via municipal sewers rather than on-site methods. These 10 neighborhoods each included e.xisting development at densities greater than 1 unit per 2 acres, and each were found to have substantial difficulties in replacing e.xisting septic systems due to lot size, topography, soil conditions or proximity to the lakeshore. Resulted in CMP Amendment No. 6 in 1996 to incorporate all 10 neighborhoods into the MUSA. Also resulted in Met Council granting Cit>’ use of 50 undefined REC’s for connection of individual properties located outside MUSA but adjacent to sewer. 1995- 1997 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS resulted in establishment of a schedule for provision of municipal sewer to 10 "hot spot" neighborhoods. 1997- 1999 CONSTRUCTION of municipal sewers to serve 7 of 10 "hot spots": North Long Lake, Long Lake Countiy Club, Bay Ridge, Foxhill, Bracketts Point, Orono Orchards.
