Coiy/vc INq <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION X <br />Cfry, <br />0 1996 <br />DATE: June 5. 199f OROM o <br />ITEM NO.: <br />Department Approval: <br />Name: Michael P. Gaffron <br />Title: Asst. Plannins & Zoning Admin <br />AdministratoL Re v ie w ed:ki .Agenda Section: <br />Zonine <br />Item Description: Request for City Sewer. John Maresh. 1095 N. Brown Rd./2085 Si.xth Ave. N. <br />Attachments: A - Letter from Mr. Maresh <br />B - Plat Map/Survey <br />C - Municipal Sewer Preliminary Layout <br />Mr. Maresh has a non-conforming failing septic system which is scheduled to be replaced as soon <br />as ground conditions permit. As a possible alternative, he is requesting that the City include his <br />properties in any sewer project that goes forward to serve the Long Lake Country Club area. The <br />properties consist of a vacant 2-acre lot at 1090 North Brown Road and the Maresh's 2.5-acre <br />homestead parcel at 2085 Sixth. <br />Both parcels are outside the area proposed for inclusion in the MUSA, out could conceivably use <br />two of the 50 undefined sewer units we have requested of Met Council. A potential obstacle, <br />however, is that those 50 extra units were intended to solve existing problems, not to serve new <br />development. A few' other developed properties along Brown Road North are also likely to make <br />this request for sewer. <br />While it might seem incongruous to bring sewer to th ^ iwo 2-acre lots which were subdivided (and <br />septic testing performed and accepted) as recently as 1988, Maresh indicates his site evaluator is <br />skeptical that more than one suitable drainfield site exists on each lot. It would be appropriate for <br />staff to meet with the site evaluator for confirmation of this if the Council wishes to consider the <br />properties for possible future sewer. <br />Note that only minor revisions to the preliminary design of the sewer in Lakeview Terrace would <br />be necessary in order to provide service to Maresh's properties. The vacant lot would need to be <br />encumbered with an easement to serve the homestead lot. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />If Council wishes to consider whether these properties should be provided with sewer, direct staff <br />to meet w’ith the property owner and his consultants to document the need for an alternative to the <br />use of septic systems.
