i <br /> CITYof ORONO <br /> Post Office Boa 66•Crystal Bay,Minnesota 55323•Municipal Offices <br /> • <br /> ® - • On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br /> February 22, 1991 <br /> Jim Baruth <br /> 660 North Shore Drive West <br /> Mound, MN 55364 <br /> Dear Mr. Baruth: <br /> This letter is in response to our telephone conversation on <br /> February 21, 1991 regarding the septic system construction and <br /> conditions at 660 North Shore Drive West. <br /> There is no documentation as to the construction of the original <br /> septic system at 660 North Shore Drive West. However, in 1980 <br /> there is record that the septic system was repaired. The permit <br /> and description of work done at that time is on file at the City <br /> offices. <br /> My examination of the City' s records indicates that the <br /> drainfield was extended by 400 feet. The existing trenches were <br /> not inspected so the total drainfield area at this time is <br /> unknown. Percolation tests were not required for repairs at the <br /> time this work was performed either, so we cannot determine <br /> whether the drainfield meets the current City Code. Also, there <br /> is no indication that the tanks were replaced or altered in any <br /> way. <br /> The septic system is considered to be substandard but in , <br /> satisfactory condition and has been since the repairs were made. <br /> The septic system repair was intended to make the system function <br /> properly, not to bring the system up to full compliance with the <br /> Code because it was not deemed necessary at the time. Since the <br /> drainfield repair to the septic system in 1980, there have been <br /> no additional alterations to the system. <br /> If there are any further questions, please contact me at the City <br /> offices. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephen Weckman <br /> Septic Inspector <br /> SW/lsv <br /> BUILDING&ZONING-473.7357 • ADMINISTRATION&FINANCE-473-7358 • PUBLIC WORKS-473-7359 <br /> ASSESSING FAX-473-0510 <br />
