Comprehensive Plan Amendment July 14, 1986 Page 2 of 2 H - Other areas approved for sewer service within the defined rural district Review of the Fulmer property in relation to Alternative Waste Treatment Methods (Required by CMP review CMP 6 - 44 [items 1 - 61 and exhibit D). 1. It is not feasible nor practical for Fulmer to alter water use in the Kennel operation. 2 & 3. The on site evaluator, Steve Schirmers and Gaffron confirm that the existing system cannot be expanded nor a new system insta.11cd meeting all standards of the code nor with any assurance that such a ,-ystem will provide continuous service in the future. 4. Since 1978, the City has yet to find thi^ a real alternative. Gaffron has not approved a composting or incinerative type system in the City. The system would not be effer.tive with a high water user as the kennel operation. 5. Expense of adequate maintenarice of holding tanks not economically practical or feasible in light of thr- location of the interceptor within Fulmers lot lines. The current system serving the house, installed in 175 is already inadequate on this severely limited property. 6. The property is surrounded by large acred lots with no record of septic problems. The property itself is bordered by railroad, Hwy. 12 and wetlands - the Eisenger property to the east of the wetlands is a former dump/fill site and not suitable for septic systems. A collection syLcem and community or shared drainfield is not feasible. Staff Recommendation - To approve the City's application to amend the Municipal Comprehensive Plan by redesignating the M.G.S.A. - M.S.S.R - boundaries within the City to now include the following properties already approved by the M.W.C.C. for sewer service: The Minnetonka/Bluffs/Browns Bay neighborhood, Windward and Minnetonka Boats Works properties on Shoreline Drive and the Crystal Bay neighborhood, and to approve new sewer connection for the residence and commercial kennel at 3505 Wayzata Blvd. based on the following findings: 1. The extension of municipal sanitary sewer is (was) required because environmental and or health problems could not be technically or economically resolved on site. 2. The subject properties were all located adjacent to a M.W.C.C. interceptor. 3. The serving of these properties wi 11 not increase densities nor open new areas for development. because of such a sewer extension.
