Planning & Zoning Board October 9, 1996 • acres to MUSA on Lilac Street. In order to accomplish adding these properties to MUSA, staff must submit a minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Metropolitan Council. The second request is from the property owner at 74 Marvy Street, who is also experiencing septic system failure. The home faces Marvy Street. Sewer and water lines would come from the rear of the property from Apollo Drive. The City is requesting that .9 acre be added to MUSA, so that this property owner can connect to City utilities. Chair Schaps asked the status of the other Tots on Marvy Street. Ms. Wyland stated that all of the lots are 600 feet deep and front on Marvy with the rear to Apollo Drive. The properties have not been subdivided, although a blanket subdivision was approved a couple of years ago. Mr. Ahrens added that potentially the other property owners would be in the same situation. However, some of the property owners have new septic systems and would not be in favor of connecting to City utilities at this time. Mr. Herr asked if the utility connection would preclude subdivision of the lots. Mr. Ahrens responded that subdivision would not be prohibited on the south half of the lots. Property owners have been informed that a utility easement would be necessary with any lot split. Mr. Herr asked if property owners would have to pay for a sewer line routed through the outlot along Marvy. Mr. Ahrens answered, yes, and the property owners would have to submit a petition for the project. Mr. Herr asked if, in the entire 600 -foot depth of the lot, there is no area that can support a septic system. Mr. Ahrens stated that the septic system is in the groundwater. There is a swale that bisects this particular property and the south half is not buildable. Ms. Marcy Cisewski, 60 Marvy Street, stated that this lot is in her neighborhood. She asked if the City is going to pay for the utility hook up of that particular lot to Apollo Drive. •
