MN 55438 Re: Proposed septic system in platted right-of-way Dear Mr. Adams: After discussing your situation with Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Mike Gaffron, it appears there are three potential options available for you to consider: 1. 2. 3. Proceed with a vacation and replat of the right-of-way to move it into the northerly property so that the current and future public purposes served by a right-of-way in this location are not lost; Simply request a vacation of the right-of-way; or Request a permit for the installation of the septic system within the existing right-of- way. Each of these options requires a public hearing with the planning commission as well as formal approval by the City Council. In order for the City Council to approve any of these options, you must show that the proposed location of the septic system is the only feasible location, that no property on Big Island will be denied access as a result, and that there is no conflict with existing or future potential utilities (electric, phone, etc.), drainageways, etc. Relocating the right-of-way via a replat would leave your neighbor to the east (560 Big Island) an access to other existing platted roads on the island, would protect your proposed drainfield site by placing it on private property, and would preserv'e the public need for utility, access and drainage corridors. This is the option staff would recommend to the City Council (see attached sketch). Vacation of the right-of-w ay withou a replat might be approved by the Council, but in order to do so they would have to conclude that the property to the east does not need to be provided with access Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510
