Five lots have nonconfornling septic systems and five lots have confornling septic systems. <br /> There are limited replacement septic sites on these lots Uecause of the steep topography aud wetlands <br /> in this area. <br /> A review of the area map shows that the Myrtlewood Neighborhood is the last older developed <br /> neighborhood,with snlaller substaudard lots,in this area of the City that is in need of sewer service <br /> as the other older developed neighborhoods already are in the MUSA and have sewer service. <br /> This area was not included in the 2000 Comprehensive Plau MUSA expansions because tllere was <br /> not any sewer service close to this subdivision. The City of Wayzata is now constructing a new <br /> publi.c works facility directly south of the Myrtlewood neighUorhood aiid has completed the <br /> extension of sewer and water utilities to serve the new puUlic works facility. The existing Wayzata <br /> Public Works facility will be removed for tl�e new Highway 12 construction project. The City of <br /> Orono has contributed finaucially to the Wayz�ta. sewer and water exteiisions to provide capacity <br /> a.nd service connections for fitture service of the M}ntlewood neighborhood. Tlie neighUorl�ood <br /> residents have submitted a petition to the City reqttesting sewer and water service for their <br /> neighUorhood and the frst steep in this process is for this area to Ue added to the MCTSA. <br />
