The applicant proposed installation of a sewage holding <br />tank instead of a septic tank -and on -site drainfield treatment <br />area which installation requires a variance from Section 22.20 <br />Subdivisions 3 and 4 of the City's On -Site Sewage Treatment <br />Code. <br />6. This same lot was the subject of an application for lot <br />area, lot width, side setback and holding tank variances by <br />John Nobel, application "7429, which was approved by the <br />Council on December 18, 1978. -J e Nobel appllc&tlon was based <br />upon a larger house design and included closer setbacks to <br />the side property lines, but included no request for any <br />lakeshore or hardcover variance. <br />7. In the approval of the Nobel application, and reaffirmed <br />in the review of'this application, the Council finds that the <br />subject lot is a single -separately owned parcel which existed <br />prior to the effective date of the current LR-lA lot area and <br />lot width requirements and that there is no -adjacent vacant <br />land available to increase the size of the subject property. <br />8. The Council finds that this lot is of similar size and <br />configuration with adjoining and nearby lots which are built <br />upon and that approval of the lot area and lot width variance <br />request is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br />right for the applicant. <br />9. The Council finds that because of the narrowness of this lot, <br />approval of side yard setback variances are necessary to <br />alleviate a demonstrated hardship in building on this property, <br />that side setbacks as proposed, or an approved for the Nobel <br />application, are consistent with required side setbacks in <br />other Districts with lot width requirements similar to the <br />actual size of this lot, and that approval of side setback <br />variances would not endanger the public health, safety or <br />welfare. <br />10. The Council finds that installation of a sewage holding <br />tank to service any house on this property is necessary because <br />of the high water table and low ground elevation of the property <br />which conditions preclude installation of a standard crai_�field. <br />The Council finds that such approval is consistent with the <br />intent of the On -Site Sewage Treatment Code in such unusual <br />conditions, provided that the tank is properly and frequently <br />pumped and services according to the street requirements of <br />said Ccde. <br />11. The Council finds that the applicant has not presented <br />nor proven any hardship which would justify granting of any <br />variance to any lakeshore or wetlands setback, and further the <br />
