�� Cit� o� ORONO � � � -.r ` "•��`�'� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL /��< 3 NO. /�� .. ��/�/ �u 'h.F: � � � -� �� • �±4i,f. 9) The open, overflowing septic tanks on the Zylka property are located within 30 feet of the domestic water well. The Minnesota Department of Health requires at least • 50 feet separation from a sealed tank, and the City requires at least 75 feet. The tennants have often complained to the City about bad water. This proximity of a well to an open, overflowing septic tank is a clear code violation and a distinct public health hazard. 10) When the septic tanks and/or drainfield overflows, the effluent puddles in the yard and adjacent 'to the driveway, it runs down the driveway and into the public street right-of-way for County Road 15, and it has been known to fill up and flow across County Road 15 and directly . into Lake Minnetonka. 11) When the septic tanks have been properly covered to � prevent surface discharges, the tennants have complained about sewage backups into the basement of the duplex building. This situation also constitutes a health hazard for those occupants, not only in cleanup and residue, but also in being an attraction for rodents . 12) The uncontested need for extremely frequent septic tank pumping clearly indicates complete system failure, the tank pumping has not eliminated surface discharging � of effluent, and yet the overly dense occupancy of � the property has not been reduced to a level at which the regular pumping and/or a new drainfield could accommodate the volume of use. 13) Because of frequent often unrecorded sales of the Zylka property, the City on July 10, 1981, caused an original, certified copy of the June 12 , 1981, inspection report and repair order to be recorded by the Hennepin County recorder as a document in the chain of title of this property, thereby putting any subsequent purchaser on notice concerning the outstanding violations and repair order requirements . 14) Considering the amount of buildings and hardcover on � the Zylka lot combined with the number of dwelling units � and the number of potential occupants, there is no way to be sure that the system proposed by the November 2, 1981, Percor Inc. report, Exhibit A attached hereto, will in fact provide sufficient surface area to properly treat and dispose of sewage generated on the property as required by State and Local regulations .
