.0^ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: September 18, 1997 <? ‘O ^9oV ‘='?a Item No.: //. Department Approval: . Name: Michael P. Gaffron . ^ Title: Senior Planning Coordinator Administrator Approval:Agenda Section: Zoning Item Description: Amendment of Shoreland & On-Site Sewage Treatment Ordinances List of Exhibits:Exhibit A - Ordinance Exhibit B - Staff Memo & Exhibits of September 12,1997 Please carefully review the staff memo and exhibits of September 12. That memo details the objectives and intent of the ordinance revision directed by Council on August 25. The DNR has been advised of the proposed revisions to the Shoreland Ordinance, and we have talked to various members of DNR staff, but we have not received any written comments or objection to the ordinance. # Ordinance Language The proposed language for the On-Site Sewage Treatment Ordinance (Chapter 12) simply increases from 2 years to 10 years the Shoreland deadline for upgrade of systems that don't comply with the 3' separation. This matches the non-Shoreland deadline in place since May 1996. The proposed language for the Shoreland Ordinance (Chapter 10) delays for 10 years the deadline for Shoreland non-compliant system upgrades that would otherwise be triggered by "a permit or variance of any type". Failing systems as defined by City ordinance (Section 12.30 Subd. 2.10 (a)iiii) would still have to be replaced within 90-days to 1 year, regardless of any trigger. Note that the State On-Site Regulations (Chapter 7080) require upgrade of a non-compliant systems (including those that are failing and those that don't meet the 3' separation under their definition) whenever a bedroom or bathroom addition is proposed, but they don't set a specific timefirame. Planning Commission Recommendation Planning Commission held a public hearing on this ordinance at the September 15 meeting. Two
