City of Lake Elmo <br />Page 2 <br />2. The limitation to move the structure back towards the road because of the area <br />required for the future septic system. <br />Merit Custom Homes has been contracted to build/remodel and represent the Haire <br />family for this project, which includes variance submittals and meetings. The Harre <br />family has redesigned the home several times in order to abide by the rules of setback and <br />also the preservation of the lake views, from the lake and also to the lake. <br />Merit Custom Homes has had preliminary conversations with Travis Germundson for the <br />Minnesota DNR and John Hanson from the watershed district. They have also been sent <br />pictures of the site and sketch plans of the location of the new house. Both had favorable <br />comments about the site and what was planned for the improvement. Neither of them has <br />seen the current survey which was submitted with this application. <br />In reference to the existing septic, it is currently in compliance for a three bedroom home <br />and will be used for the new structure, which will also be a three bedroom home. The <br />septic compliance and design was done by Barry Brown. As you can see on the survey <br />the future septic locations is next to the existing septic. Soil borings for the future septic <br />were done on the south side of the driveway and the mottled soils were too high in <br />elevation to support a future septic system in that location. <br />Merit Custom Homes, Inc. <br /><Zdd <br />President <br />enclosures <br />
