• (b) Required upgrade or replacement A sewage treatment system not meeting the requirements of Minnesota Rules ' Chapter 7080, as amended, or the requirements of this article, whichever is more restrictive, must be upgraded, at a minimum, at any time a building permit is required for any improvements on, or use of, the property, subject to the following: (1) Any such system for which the city has previously issued orders requiring upgrade or replacement of the system by December 31, 2007, shall not be subject to this requirement until January 1, 2008. (2) Any such system for which the city has previously issued orders requiring upgrade or replacement of the system by December 31, 2010, shall not be subject to this requirement until January 1, 2011. (3) Regardless whether previous upgrade or replacement orders have been issued, this upgrade or replacement requirement shall not apply when said building permit is for regular maintenance or upkeep including but not limited to replacement of inechanical equipment such as air conditioning, furnaces, water heaters, or water softeners, or for re-roofing, re-siding or window replacement. (c) Construction of additional bedrooms or construction including water-using appliances that will increase the sewage flow into an ISTS. A building permit shall not be issued until the city confirms that the existing ISTS is compliant and of adequate size to treat the sewage flow from the building and that a future drainfield site is designed and preserved. If the existing ISTS must be repaired or replaced, an ISTS design for both the existing ISTS and a future drainfield site must be approved before issuing a building permit. If expansion or replacement of the ISTS is required, the ISTS must be installed and inspected before a certificate of occupancy shatl be issued for the construction. Failure to identify satisfactory drainfield sites for the proposed sewage flow for use now as well as a future site shall result in the denial of the building permit application. (d) Expansion of an existing building, including decks and patios; construction of an accessory building, driveway or land alteration. A future drainfield site must be designed and presenred prior to the issuance of a building permit for any expansion of an existing building, construction to an accessory building or driveway or land alteration on a property using an ISTS. A building permit will not be issued when the proposed work would preclude the use of the only future drainfield site approved by the city.

I am looking at purchasing 135 Luce Line Ridge in Orono. I would like to initially discuss putting up an accessory building. I have downloaded the application packet but I have some questions about your process. My initial questions are: 1. The lot is 2.68 acres. I wouldn't be building more than a 1200 sq. f�footprint. I believe the properly is a PRD. Can you please tell me what the setbacks would be? 2. Would you have exact placement/specifications on the existing septic system? If yes, would these available to me? a. Initially I would like to place the structure on the north/northwest corner of the existing driveway. 3. I've read that accessory buildings cannot be placed closer to the street than the house. This, along with whatever the side and rear setbacks are, may be difficult to do in that location. I want to hold to that; however, I do not know what the setbacks are. Would it possible/feasible to obtain a variance if it is necessary? 4
