Planning «Sc Zoning Administrator June 21, I9P3 9^ s SUBJECT: 1940 Shoreline Drive - Alan Nettles - Request for Sewer Connection List of Exhibits A - Letter of Request B ' Wetlands Map C - MUSA Boundary D - Septic Card E - Report from Septic Site Evaluator F - Sewer As-Built Summary Mr. Nettles has a failing septic system, and since his property is only 15’ from an existing municipal sewer lateral, he is requesting to be allowed to connect to the sewer. In order to do so. no City project is necessary, but there would be an $11.218.00 connection charge (plus $750.00 SAC), and Mr. Nettles would pay all costs of direct connection into the existing lateral. Also. Met Council would have to approve a MUSA boundary amendment. Existing System/Mound Site Options The existing septic system is in the front yard between the house and County Road 15. The system is by definition ik/.Tconfonning since it consists of trenches which do not meet the 3 ’ water table separation. The system has been weak for a number of years and has apparently reached the end of its useful life. A mound system could be developed in the back yard, but that location poses some problems for the property owner by eliminating the other typical uses of that yard. In the front yard, a mound could be placed in the flat area near County Road 15, but might require a setback variance. Feasibility of Sewer Connection A municipal sewer lateral exists approximately 15’ from the comer of the property. The line in the abandoned street referred to by Mr. Nettles is simply a 4 set ** Une serving the Tourangeau residence. That line contains three cleanouts rather than s. and a second service could not be added directly to that line. Therefore any connection of the Nettles’ residence would require a separate 4" connection from the house to the lateral just downstream
