r <br /> , <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DATE: October 11, 1999 <br /> IT'EM NO.: <br /> Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br /> Name Gregory A. Gappa Engineer's Report <br /> Title Director of Public Services <br /> Item Description: Request for Sanitary Sewer 925 North Brown Road <br /> Introduction <br /> We have received a request from the property owner at 925 North Brown Road for connection <br /> to sanitary sewer. This property is located on the west side of North Brown Road and is in the <br /> shoreland zone for Dickey Lake. There is an existing pressure sewer line in North Brown Road <br /> installed in 1997 for the North Long Lake sewer project. The three properties to the south were <br /> sewered as part of the North Long Lake sewer project using the additional sewer units from the <br /> 1996 MUSA expansions comprehensive plan amendment. <br /> This property is an existing developed lot with a noncompliant septic system. The operation of <br /> this system is marginal, as past inspections have noted slight surfacin�. The system needs to be <br /> replaced by December 31, 2002. <br /> The possibilities for septic sites are limited on this property. The owner had Swedland Septic <br /> Service complete a system design. There is only room for a primary septic site on the property <br /> with no space for an alternate site. Installation of a new mound system will require upgrading of <br /> the septic tanks. The installation of a new mound system and tanks is not a practical idea. <br /> Without a replacement site, if the new mound site fails connection of the property to sewer will <br /> be required. This means that the investment in the tanks is wasted. <br /> The new comprehensive plan proposes a MUSA expansion for this area between 2005 and 2010. <br /> With the proposed future MUSA expansion, this property will be eligible for sewer in several <br /> years. Investment in a new mound system now is a poor idea. <br /> Another valid reason for sewer is the protection of Dickey Lake. The rear of this property is <br /> adjacent to Dickey Lake. <br /> Recommendations <br /> We are recommendin� sewering this properry using one of the 50 sewer units available from the <br /> 1996 MUSA expansions comprehensive plan amendment. <br />
