CITY OF LAKE ELMO <br />COUNTY OF WASHINGTON <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2020-023 <br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PUBLICATION OF ORDINANCE 08-235 <br />WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council has adopted Ordinance No. 08-235, an ordinance <br />amending the City's Zoning Code as it pertains to Septic Area in Sections 154.034 and 154.404. <br />WHEREAS, the ordinance is lengthy; and <br />WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, section 412.191, subd. 4, allows publication by title and <br />summary in the case of lengthy ordinances or those containing charts or maps; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the following summary would clearly inform <br />the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, <br />that the City Clerk shall cause the following summary of Ordinance No. 08-235 to be published in <br />the official newspaper in lieu of the entire ordinance: <br />Public Notice <br />The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-235, which amends the <br />City Zoning Code language for septic drainfield size requirements. The following is a summary <br />of the adopted ordinance language: <br />Before a building permit could be released the City Code previously required a minimum <br />of 20,000 square feet of septic area (and approved permit from Washington County) for <br />rural single family lots. Since the City is not the reviewing authority for septic systems, <br />the Code now defers to the standards established by Washington County. <br />The amendment is not considered to be reduction of expectations. Instead it is an <br />alignment of regulations between review authorities. <br />The full text of Ordinance No. 08-235 is available for inspection at Lake Elmo City Offices during <br />regular business hours. <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo that the City <br />Administrator keep a copy of the ordinance at City Hall for public inspection and that a full copy of <br />the ordinance be placed in a public location within the City. <br />Dated: March 4a`, 2020 <br />Mayor Mike Pearson <br />ATTEST: <br />
