3 <br />TO: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley <br />Planning Commission Member - <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />FROM: Jeanne Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />DATE: March 9, 1988 <br />SUBJ: #1218 Estate of Ruth Smith/Cedric Dettloff, 385 Orono <br />Orchard Road South - Preliminary Subdivision Class III <br />- Third Review <br />1 <br />Mr. Callahan has asked that staff reschedule the preliminary <br />subdivision application before the Planning Commission for <br />action at your March meeting. He is fully aware that the septic <br />system information for Lot 1 has not been submitted and he <br />understands that at the present state of the review the Planning <br />Commission must deny the application as presentee?. <br />The Planning Commission fully advised the applicants that they <br />could not act on the present application until the septic <br />information was submitted (review the enclosed notice) and <br />applicants agreed to the tabling at the meeting. In light of <br />Section 11.10 Subd. 3(A) and (C) enclosed for your review, Mr. <br />Callahan no longer agrees to the tabling and the 120 day review <br />period has lapsed (application filed 10-15-87), therefore, the <br />City must schedule the application for formal action by the <br />Planning Commission and Council. <br />Staff Recommendation - To recommend denial of the two lot plat <br />application of the Estate of Ruth Smith and Cedric Dettloff <br />finding the application incomplete concerning specifically the <br />necessary septic information for Lot 1. Applicant has failed to <br />submit information regarding the exact location of the septic <br />system and therefore the proposed dividing line may not be an <br />accurate division of the existing improvements serving each lot. <br />The City has consistently delayed action for rural subdivisions <br />where existing on site treatment systems have not been located <br />and especially in this case where the owner of Lot 1 would not <br />agree to rove the drainfield if it were found to encroach Lot 2. <br />The City does not grant setback variances or approve of the <br />creation of easements for drainfields in matters where lot lines <br />have not been established and not officially approved by the <br />City. The case referenced by Mr. Berg regarding the Greentrees <br />subdivision involved the encroachment of lines already approved <br />by the City in a previous subdivision and was a result of a <br />costly mistake by a septic contractor. <br />
