. <br /> . <br /> Option 2. If you choose to skip the MnRAM and just go ahead with the Preserve <br /> buffer of 50', you should proceed with the steps outlined previously by Melanie and <br /> Chris. <br /> Option 3. You could apply for a variancefrom the buffer requirements, which has a <br /> $700 application fee and would take about two months to process. You would have <br /> to convince the Council that you have a practical difficulty that prevents you from <br /> establishing the buffer. From staff's perspective, we don't see that you have a <br /> practical difficulty, and staff would not support the variance. But, that is an option if <br /> you wish to pursue it, with no guarantee it would be approved. <br /> I did research your question about why the septic system had to be replaced. The City inspector <br /> did a soil boring on the property on October 8, 1999 and his boring logs (attached) indicate the <br /> seasonal water table of the existing system was only 14 inches below the trenches, not meeting <br /> the 30" minimum separation requirement. It had a deadline of December 31, 2009 to be <br /> replaced, but replacement is also triggered by new construction on the site or by a sale of the <br /> home. It is important that you complete the installation of the septic system regardless whether <br /> you proceed with the pool. <br /> Please call me if you have additional questions. <br /> Mike <br /> Michael P.
