R-77-17 RESOLUTION CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has considered the problem of sewage treatment and disposal in the "Old Village" area of the City of Lake Elmo and has considered the report of its City Engineer and the report and recommendations of its sewer study committee with respect to that problem; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined: I. That there is a substantial sewage disposal problem in that part of the City of Lake Elmo known as the "Old Village area" by reason of the fact that there are many failing or inadequate sewer systems which cannot be replaced or made adequate on -site because of the size of the lots and/or the condition of the soil on the lots in the Old Village area; 2. That this problem can be solved by the installation of an adequate sewage collection system to serve the Old Village area; 3. That the installation of a collection system in the Old Village area to meet the needs of existing dwellings and other proper- ties at a reasonable COst, without undue burden on the land or resi- dents within that area, would require the availability of a sewage treatment facility with sufficient capacity to serve the area tributary to the Old Village as described in the City Engineer's Report an Old Village Area Sanitary Sewer Service for Lake Elmo, Minnesota, 1977, (see figure 1, Page 7 of said Report) thereby, spreading the cost of the system. 4. That such capacity appears to be available only through Metropolitan facilities and/or grants-in-aid approved by the Metropolitan Council for construction of a sewage treatment facility for the said Old Village area of Lake Elmo or for expansion of the existing Cimmarron plant for that purpose; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo as follows: 1. That the Metropolitan Council is hereby urged and requested to revise the Metropolitan Systems Statement for the City of Lake Elmo to reflect the fact that there is a need for Metropolitan sewage treatment facilities to serve the area tributary to the Old Village as described in said engineer's report (see figure 1, Page 7, thereof);
