COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 26, 1990 the trunk sewer line runs along Second Avenue and a lateral extension could be constructed along Ulmer Drive to this home if necessary. Also there is enough room on the new lot to allow for repair of the current system. Council Member Reinert noted that there is not a clear policy, regarding the requirements of this City, if a septic system or well fails on a lot that has sanitary sewer and municipal water available to the lot. Mr. Miller explained that is one point that needs to be addressed. He suggested that this matter be resolved by working with the City Engineers. Paul Heider, 7065 Rice Lake Drive told the Council that his septic system and well are located entirely on the east 1/2 acre of his present lot. There is also room to repair the system if it should fail. He asked for clarification as to what the City would require if the system failed. Would the City require that he connect to the sanitary sewer system or would he be able to repair or replace his present system? It was noted that the soils in the area are ideal for septic systems but at least one has failed. It was also noted that the City did not have a firm policy regarding Mr. Heider's question. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the subdivision as outlined in the Design Review Board application No. 90 - 01 and approve the variance as outlined in Design Review Board application No. 90 - 07. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Council Member Reinert asked Mr. Heider if he had a potential buyer for the two newly created lots. Mr. Heider said yes and approval is needed tonight to complete the transaction. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Minor Subdivision and Variance, Dennis A. Smith and Resolution No. 05 - 90 - Mr. Boxrud explained that Mr. Smith owns a thirty (30) acre parcel of land at the end of Reiling Road and he wishes to subdivide the parcel into two fifteen (15) acre parcels. The Design Review Board has reviewed the requests and recommended approval of both subject to the City Engineer's suggestions and an acceptable feasibility report for the completion of the street. A variance is required due to the fact that the frontage does not meet the 180 foot requirement. The frontage is 160 feet per lot. It is unlikely that there will ever be further subdivision of the lots because much of the land is unbuildable. Currently there is no access to the thirty (30) acres. Completion of Reiling Road and the installation of the north /south street between Reiling Road and Deer Pass Trail
