CITY of ORONO <br />Post Office Box 66•Crystal Bay, Minnesota 5.53239Municipal Offices <br />On the North Shore o/ Lake Minnetonka <br />September 5, 1984 <br />Linda Freeman <br />20620 Garden Road <br />Excelsior, MN 55331 <br />Re: Septic system - 3415 East Lake Street <br />Dear Ms. Freeman: <br />I have enclosed information regarding the installation of <br />a holding tank to serve the above referenced house. <br />For the record, our inspection and discussions with you and <br />your renter on 9/4/84, have established that the existing tank is <br />fairly small and needs to be pumped out on a regular basis. My <br />call to Sullivan's Services yielded the information that they <br />pumped the tank out on May 30 and sometime in June replaced all <br />or a portion of the .-)ver. The renter said it had been pumped <br />out again this week. <br />We have no records indicating whether or not a drainfield <br />exists as part of the system. If one does exist it likely is <br />less than the 75' minimum required separation distance from your <br />well (the existing tank itself is only about 25' from your well). <br />And if there is a drainfield, it would not seem to be functioning <br />properly if you have to keep pumping all the time. With the <br />extremely small lot and a high water table, it appears virtually <br />impossible to install a drainfield system meeting even minimal <br />code requirements, hence a holding tank is the only viable <br />alternative. <br />Orono code requirements for holding tanks are attached. A <br />preferred location would be at least 50' from your well and all <br />neighboring wells, and not under a driveway area or surface which <br />would be clear of snow in the winter !due to freeze-up potential). <br />SCILU11G 1 ZONING - 473.7357 • ADNINISTRATIUN S 171NANCE - 473-7358 • Pt BLIC MURKS 4'3'1359 <br />ASSESSING <br />
