Cit� of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION Of THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> � NO. /��� <br /> • � • • <br /> A RESOLUTION ORDERING A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR <br /> NORTH SHORE - SCOTCH PINE SEWAGE TREATMENT PROJECT <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Orono is a municipal corporation organized <br /> and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and <br /> WHEREAS, for the purpose of protecting the public health and <br /> safety and for promoting the most general public welfare, the City has <br /> adopted Ordinance No. 210, The On-Site Sewage Treatment Code, which <br /> ordinance regulates the proper design, location, construction, alteration, <br /> use and maintenance of on-site sewage treatment systems, and which <br /> ordinance established a program for inspection of existing on-site systems <br /> to assure a minimum, adequate level of sewage treatment in the City; and <br /> WHEREAS, this inspection program has identified a definable <br /> neighborhood in the City termed "North Shore Drive - Scotch Pine Lane <br /> Area" including the properties shown on the attached map (Exhibit A) <br /> which has a significant percentage of on-site sewage treatment systems <br /> which do not conform to the minimum requirements of Ordinance No. 210, <br /> which are not performing an adequate level of sewage treatment, and <br /> for which reconstruction to minimum standards is costly and/or impossible <br /> due to poor soil, high water table or small lot size; and <br /> WHEREAS, the above described condition is causing pollution of <br /> the ground and surface waters and a distinct and direct hazard to the <br /> public health and safety requiring remedial efforts by the property <br /> owners involved, which effort will most likely require public coordination <br /> by the City in the form of a public improvement project; and <br /> WHEREAS, on January 8, 1980, the City Council held an <br /> informational meeting to which all the property owners in the affected <br /> neighborhood were invited, and at which meeting the existing sewage <br /> treatment problems were discussed together with various options available <br /> for correction of the problems; and <br /> WHEREAS, a consensus of opinion at this meeting was that there <br /> are certain sewage treatment problems in the neighborhood which could <br /> likely not be solved on individual lots by individual property owners; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, a further consensus of opinion at this meeting was <br /> that a likely alternative solution to the problem is construction of a <br /> sewage collector system culminating in a connection to the Metropolitan <br /> - Waste Control Commission Interceptor Sewer running through the area; and <br /> PAGE 1 OF 2 <br />
