REGULAR PZEETING OF TI�E ORONO COUNCIL, OCTOBER 10 , 1978 Page 13 <br /> The following information was presented to the VICTORIA GRAIN COMPANY <br /> City Council from r4ichael Gaffron, Septic System #200 <br /> Inspector, concerning the Victoria Grain Company <br /> subdivision (#200) ; Update on Soil Testing, <br /> dated October 5, 1978, which states: <br /> The subdivision proposes six buildinc� lots of two <br /> to three acres each. Soils on the site include <br /> Glencoe silty clay loam, HaMel loam, PRarsh (these <br /> first three are wetland soils) , T,e,ter loam and <br /> Kilkenny loam. Lester soils generally are accept- <br /> able for a standard �ystem, while ?:�lkenn�� soils <br /> have generally slow percolation rates and �in most <br /> cases , require alternate systems. <br /> Proposed Lot 6 has an existing house. Lots 4 & 5 <br /> have been preliminarily tested and indicate fairly <br /> good percolation rates, although I am skeptical of <br /> the seasonal water table depth for the secondary <br /> drainfield sites of both lots. Additional soil <br /> borings will be required on Lots 4 & 5 prior to <br /> issuance of building permits. <br /> Lots 3, 4 & 5 have not yet been tested. Lot 3 <br /> contains Kilkenny and Lester soils. It is likely <br /> that a standard system could be installed on Lot 3. <br /> Lots 1 & 2 should be tested prior to approval of <br /> the subdivision, and I strongly recomr.lend that <br /> Lot 3 be tested at the same time. <br /> Council Meeting - October 10 , 1978 <br /> Mr. Robert Cargill was present and presented the <br /> City Council with a letter from his attorney, <br /> Mr. John Hacking, dated October 4 , 1978. <br /> Letter - Pages 14 & 15 <br /> Mr. Cargill was concerned with the cost involved <br /> for percolation tests. Since tlie -��zl�r»nar_�� �lat <br /> had been approved before the new septic ordinance <br /> was adopted, he felt that the City should waive the <br /> requirer.lent. <br /> Mr. Alan Olson: Pollution Control Agency and t'�e <br /> Metropolitan Waste Control Commission reconr�end <br /> testing before final plat approval. If septic <br /> prob��r:ls exist, they could create a legal problem <br /> for the City and owner. <br /> Attorney P4alkerson: You must meet all the rec�uire- <br /> rlents of the septic ordinance before any building <br /> permit can be issued. <br /> Pesek moved to grant a variance not to require <br /> percolation test prior to final plat apProval <br /> but prior to any building perr.►it being issued. <br /> (Continued, Page 16) <br />
