LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, FEBRUARY 5, 1980 -3- C. Hasley Rezoning - R-1 to GB - Mayor Armstrong reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation. Armstrong asked about plumbing facilities in the garage. Mr. Hjlemgren stated until facilities are put into the garage facilities in the basement of the house will be used. The present system is two tanks with no drainfield. The lot is 1/4 acre. Due to set -back and parking area requirements, and code specifications on drainfields two drainfield sites may not be possible. Mr. Hjlemgren asked if the new toilet could be hooked up to the present system. A two tank system is not permitted now and a drainfield would have to be provided. This request will require a zoning change and two variances, one for the bedroom allowance in GB and one for septic set -backs. The code requires access to toilet facilities for customers and employees in a business. Armstrong does not feel enough drainfield could be provided to service such facilities in the garage and house.
