Might you or anyone else on this email have contact information for Mr. Miller? Am I to assume that the visit to the island will have to occur during business days/hours? Thank you all, John From: Lyle Oman [mailto:LOman@ci.orono.mn.us] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2014 3:08 PM To: John Reimann Cc: Jessica Loftus; Melanie Curtis; Mike Gaffron; 'MtroWst76@aol.com' Subject: 440 Big Island John, I tried your cell and didn't get through. Loren Kohnen our septic inspector attended our staff ineeting this morning and discussed your septic issue. He met with Peter Miller who did the original design for the existing septic system. Based on his description of the steps that were taken in preparing the design and based on Mr. Millers credentials, Loren thinks he will be able to approve the use and addition to the existing septic system. However he will need to visit the site to verify the soils. If the soil inspection is approved a new design will need to be provided. The area for the septic system is not large enough for 4 bedrooms.The city can grant a variance to allow a smaller system based on seasonal use. To approve a variance for a smaller system there will be conditions that will need to put in place.There will need to be a timed dosing system that stores the effluent and disperses it over time.You will need to contract with a qualified firm to monitor the system twice a year.The city would prepare a restrictive covenant that would be recorded on the property title to notify future owners. If you were to find enough area for the number of bedrooms a variance would not be required and there would be no dosing and monitoring. City code also requires that an alternate site be identified for future use, it will need to be included with the new design. There would be no tree removal required until it needs to be used,just testing to identify the site.This site would need to be left undisturbed. The next step is for you to get all the parties involved out to the Island to verify the soils.This would include Loren Kohnen (763-479-1720) Peter Miller, someone to design a new system and myself. Gabe has offered to provide transportation. If the soils and the new design are approved you could hire a contractor to install the system. If you have any questions please call me.
