Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />Stephen WecKman, On-Site Systems Manager <br />May 11, 1993 <br />Subdivision <1^1821, Steven Wirtjes - Septic Review <br />Soil testing and system design was submitted for this two-lot subdivision in 1989. Lot <br />1 contains a home which is connected to a conforming septic system with an alternate site <br />available for a 5-bedroom home. Lot 2 has approved soil testing and system design for a 4- <br />bedroom home. The site evaluator, Steven Schirmers, will be reviewing the site to verify that <br />the sites are suitable for a 5-bedroom home. <br />Although Lot 1 has suitable existing and alternate drainfield sites, the poor placement of <br />the well has resulted in sites which do not meet the City’s required 75 ’ well setback. The <br />existing drainfield site is 50 ’ from the well with the alternate site encroaching within 35 ’ of the <br />well. As the State of Minnesota requires that a minimum 50 ’ setback be maintained from the <br />well to a drainfield, staff will allow well in its current location. However, at the time the <br />alternate drainfield site is required for use, the well must be abandoned and located at least 75 ’ <br />from the septic system. <br />Staff will recommend approval of the septic system siting as proposed, provided the <br />above condition is met. Also, both primary and alternate drainfield sites on Lot 2 must be <br />fenced prior to construction. <br />4
