May 2, 1974 <br />Mr. M. McCaffrey <br />McCaffrey Advertising Agency <br />1220 Glenwood Avenue <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55405 <br />Dear Mr. McCaffrey: <br />545 Indian Mound <br />Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 <br />(612)473-4224 <br />After we examined your property on W. Ferndale this morning <br />I contacted the Orono City Engineer, Building Inspector and <br />consulting engineer for sewers. I've also estimated the <br />cost of an on -site disposal system. Your options for this <br />property appear to be as follows: <br />1. Install a septic system with built-up drainfield. This <br />would require a clear area of 40 feet by 100 feet, raised <br />three feet and seeded or sodded, with no trees. Cost <br />would be about $2,000.00 plus installation of septic tanks. <br />2. Install a 1500-gallon holding tank and have it pumped <br />periodically. Cost of installation would be comparable <br />to that of a septic tank, about $500.00. Estimated cost <br />of periodic pumping -out is from $30.00 to $60.00 per <br />month depending on volume of waste water generated. This <br />can be minimized by water conservation practices such as <br />recirculating chemical toilets. <br />Regarding City sewer there are no firm orders. However, the <br />Orono -Long Lake interceptor is being installed and will follow <br />Co. Hwy. 15 past the west terminus of Ferndale Road. City <br />officials are not presently inclined to order in sanitary <br />sewer projects but will likely be urged to do so by the Metro- <br />politan Council, Metropolitan Sewer Board, Department of <br />Natural Resources and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Disi;rict. <br />The most effective incentive in these cases is petitioning <br />by the property owners. <br />The property is not amenable to on -site disposal as it stands <br />and, therefore, does not require a percolation test. <br />If we can be of further help please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />EUGENE A.
