Spring Hill Rest Area <br />August 19,1998 <br />Page 2 <br />minimal usage. Secondly, there are no available drainfield sites north of the road, so the mechanics <br />of using the sites south of the road are difficult. <br />It is important that thetested sites south of the road continue to be preserved for possible future use <br />should the Club conclude in the future that a drainfield system should be used instead of holding <br />tanks. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff supports the use of a holding tank for the rest station, subject to Spring Hill obtaining the <br />appropriate construction permit and maintaining a pumping contract with a licensed pumper. <br />Further, staff recommends approval of the proposed relocation of the rest station back to the north <br />side of 6 as originally approved, but further north where it will be less visible from County Road 6. <br />Procedural Review <br />Use of a holding tank is considered a variance to the provisions of Section 12.30 of the Municipal <br />Code. The Septic System Inspector is authorized to grant such variances since this is not a Zoning <br />matter. However, staff has historically referred all holding tank requests to Council for review and <br />approval prior to permit issuance, in part to maintain Council's awareness of septic system issues. <br />The proposed relocation of the rest station results in a very minor revision to the approved site plan, <br />does not result in the need to change any language in the CUP resolution, and in staffs opinion does <br />not require re-opening the application. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />1. <br />2. <br />Motion to approve the use of a holding tank for the rest station for Spring Hill Golf Club per <br />Code Section 12.30 Subd. 4E. <br />Motion to approve the relocation of the rest area to a site located approximately 180 north <br />of Countv Road 6 as shown on ther attached site plan.
