Harrer: <br /> Thank you for your letter of July 16. <br /> The required 20' setback between sewer lines and water wells is <br /> mandated by the Minnesota Health Department (MHD). The problem of <br /> meeting this setback requirement has presented itself in every past <br /> sewer project containing narrow 50' wide lots. In designing the <br /> Stubbs Bay Sewer, the City was fully aware that such problems were a <br /> potential on Westlake Street, Eastlake Street, and Crestview Avenue. <br /> Approximately 6 months ago, City staff contacted the Health Department <br /> to discuss whether they would grant variances for these connections <br /> and/or work with the City staff and homeowners to resolve individual <br /> connection problems. The Health Department was quite agreeable to <br /> this, and we are currently working with Mr. James Stevens of the <br /> Health Department (627-5138 ), and will be touring the area with him. <br /> There are a number of potential options for completing connection in <br /> cases where well locations are a limiting factor. These include <br /> relaxed lot line setbacks, interior reversal of plumbing, and double <br /> casing of sewer lines in areas where 20' setbacks cannot be met (if <br /> approved by the MHD). • <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 473-7357 if you wish to discuss this <br /> further. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> J/ <br /> Michael P. Gaffron <br /> Assistant Planning & Zoning Administrator <br /> cc: JoAnne and Ed Anderson, 356 Westlake Street <br /> Patty Marsh, 348 Westlake Street <br /> Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br /> John Gerhardson, Public Works Director <br /> Harlan Olson, City Engineer <br /> Bruce Vang, Field Inspector <br /> MPG/1 s v TELEPHONE—473-7357•FAX-473-0310 <br />
