substandard lots in single separate ownership be provided with municipal sewers. The Stubbs Bay Sewer Project Area was expanded in early 1992 to include the rural housing cluster identified as "Cygnet-Leaf"» plus the lakeshore development known as "Oxford Road", The total project area comprises 125 existing residences and 12 interspersed vacant lots* for a total of 137 units* which will discharge into the existing City lateral system on Tonkawa Road (L.S. 59). This project began construction upon Metropolitan Council approval of Comprehensive Plan Amendment #4, Stubbs Bay MUSA Bonding Amendment* in July 1992. Assessment appeals were greatly reduced due to an "up front" 35% City participation in the project costs. Alternative waste sienagement studies completed in the 19B0s have carefully considered the optional solutions for treatment difficulties enusMrated in the 19i0 Comprehensive Plan. In each case* the relative proximity to the existing sewer trunk lines or interceptors has made the option of sewer lateral installation the most feasible solution. A number of rural clusters of existing development have a potential for further septic system problems due to lot sixes Isss than the 2 acre minimum and marginal soil/topographic conditions. These clusters will be monitored closely to ensure continued adequate sewage treatment and disposal. If problems occur which cannot be solved through on-site methods* alternative waste manageMnt studies will be conducted to determine the best possible solutions. These clusters are identified in detail in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan and include: 1.Bay Ridge 6.Orono Orchard Road 2.Poxhill 7.East Long Lake Road 3.Webber Hills a 8.North Long Lake 4.Fox Ridge 9.Country Club 5.Bracketts Point 10.Chippewa Lane I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
