While a complete "Alternative Waste <br />Management Study" has not been aitenipied for any ot these areas, data regarding lot sizes, <br />e.xisting system conditions, and potential for connection to sewer, have been provided. <br />The data suggests that there exist within the City appro.ximately 630 existing trench <br />systems constructed prior to 1983 with a p*uential lev not meeting the 3 separation requirement. <br />Sewering all nine of these rural clusters or "hot spots" would eliminate approximately 130 of <br />these potential non-contorming systems, leavng 500 potential system replacements. <br />Sewering all nine rural clu.stcrs would still leave some low density Minnetonka shoreline <br />unsewered. Also, not all of the rural clusters are within the Shoreland Overlay District. <br />Outside of the rural clu.stcrs. Council may wish to review unsewtred areas ot the City <br />which are lelatiuly near existing municipal sewer lities and'or are lower density lakcshore <br />properties.
