Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: North Shore Marina - Clubhouse Sewer Connection <br />In March 1994 Council approved a building permit for remodeling of the clubhouse building <br />near the shoreline. No structural work was involved, this was essentially a cosmetic remodel. <br />According to City records, a sewer connection permit for that building had been taken out in <br />1970, and it was assumed to have been connected to sewer. <br />Yesterday Rich Anderson had Roto Rooter out to clear the clogged sewer line from the <br />clubhouse bathroom. They found an old septic tank in use. and we have concluded that the <br />cabi n apparently never was connected to sewer, even though a permit was issued 25 years ago. <br />City codes won’t allow continued use of this septic system and Mr. Anderson would like to solve <br />the problem by connecting the clubhouse to the sewer line in the Marina OtOwC building 40 <br />away. While a plumbing permit will be required, no connection charges are due. North Shore <br />Marina has been paying quarterly sewer charges on this unit for many years. <br />This item is brought to Council’s attention because completing this connection adds to the <br />permanency of this nonconlbrming structure. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that Council approve a plumbing permit for the clubhouse conditioned on <br />suitable abandonment of the existing septic system. Staff is working with the applicant and his <br />contractor as to exactly how that connection will be made, considering the intricate web of <br />various utility lines buried in this area of the property. (Note that, although a holding tank was <br />suggested as an option for this seasonal building. City code would require the use of municipal <br />sewer where it is available). <br />Options for Action <br />1.Approve connection per staff recemmendation. <br />2.Table for further discussion. <br />3.Disallow connection (state preferred alternative - removal of plumbing from <br />clubhouse?). <br />4.Other. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Direct staff to issue a plumbing permit for the clubhouse. <br />ch
