217 Mr. Cardinal also reported that Mr. Bruce Kafke, 6250 'dare Rd., had requested permission to put a mobile home on his father's place (which he is buying) since his father is in poor health and he wishes to have him close by to take care of him. The PO had recommended allowing the trailer on a hardship basis. A motion was made to allow the trailer, but Mr. Locher reminded that a hearing was necessary since a special use permit would have to be granted. Mr. Cardinal moved that one 90 -day permit be granted to Mr. Kafke while we proceed with notification and hearings on the special use permit. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. It was specified that the trailer would have to meet the 10' by 45' minimum size. The hearing was set for August 20th and August 25th. The clerk was instructed to call Mr. Kafka for the legal description. At 9:30 p.m. the hearing on the Jandric franchises was called to order. Mr. L'Allier stated that the Council had met with the fiscal agent, Mr. Springsted, that they had received cost estimates from the Engineers, but that they had not yet acted on the franchises. Mr. Busch took the floor to again request that the Council allow the franchises immediately as the Company was putting off work on the new project until they find out which type of sewer and water systems they will have. They also need the Council's decision before they can sell the homesites. Mr. Busch noted that the project would be of benefit to the entire Metro area; also they had received written approval from the PCA. Because of the restrictions set by the PCA on the sewage plant, Jandric had to switch their primary area to the east side of Reshanau Lake in order to have the proper level over the water table for the ponding area. The Clerk read the letter from PCA giving the following recommendations: 1. The general proposal which provides for secondary treatment by the activated sludge process (extended seration) with the treated effluent being discharged to an absorption pond with no discharge to surface waters appears to conform with this Agency's requirements. 2. The bottom elevation of the effluent pond should be at least four feet above the water table. 3. Chlorination facilities should be provided. 4. Since carry -over of sludge solids in the effluent may have a detrimental effect on the absorption pond, we recommend that a sludge holding tank be provided. 5. A distance of at least 300 feet is recommended for location of the treatment works from residences or occupied dwellings. 6. While this disposal system (secondary treatment and absorption pond) has been used previously in Minnesota, there is no system as large as proposed (185,000 GPD at design) in operation presently in Minnesota. However, on a temporary basis (not more than five years) until municipal sanitary sewer service can be provided, we would be willing to favorably recommend this system for Agency approval upon concurrence in this matter from the Metropolitan Council. 7. The application for a waste disposal permit should be made jointly by the company and the village, or a copy of an agreement with the Village Council should be furnished indicating that the village will assume full responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the sewage collection and treatment system in the event of default by the company. 8. Adequate construction plans should be furnished for review at the same time application is made for a permit. Also, the letter from Drover's State Bank was read, stating in essence, that mortgage financing for Chomoniz Utilities Co. cannot be secured unless they had unencumbered title to the properties involved and that there would be no possibility of obtaining financing if the franchise required that it conveytitle to the community for less than the fair value thereof at the time of the completion of the systems or later during the economic life expectancy of the property.
