BURGOYNE VARIANCES: In addition to the Engineer's recommedations the Council required yearly inspegtion.of-the systems -by the home owner, to insure the system is operating properly, The Council discussed metering the water use and the use of the vacant lot, next to Burgoyne, as a future drainfield site. M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan adopting R-81-69 granting a varinace from building & property line setbacks, but not from the 10' waterline setback, because that is a Minnesota Health Department regulation, subject to the following conditions: 1. On page 3 of the percolation report - the distance between the bed and the water line should be 101. The bed dimensions should be 20' x 32.51. The spacing between the distribution pipes should be 5''-0". The water line in a north -south direction should be eliminated, The street right. -of -way line should be shown on the east edge of the bed, 2. On page 5 of the percolation report - revise the spacing to 5'-0" between distribution pipes. 3. On page 6 of the percolation report - the drawing shows the bottom of the bed 18 inches below the ground surface and ground mounded up 6 inches. This may interfere with surface water drainage away from the house, It is recommended that the bottom of the bed be placed 24 inches below the ground surface and no mounding occur. 4. The distribution box be fitted with a baffle to evenly distribute the effluent. 5. The existing septic tank is proposed to be reused, if this is done, the cover should be removed, entirely cleaned out, and inspected for water tightness before reuse. 6. The northerly side yard should be sodded after construction because of its steep slope, 7. The applicant should be made aware that this system just meets minimum standards. The occupants of the house should be encouraged to practice water conservation as much as practical. 8. A yearly inspection of the system be made by the homeowner with the results forwared to the City. Inspection entails opening the distribution box to verify that there are no solids present and opening the septic tank and measuring the depth of the sludge and water level in the tank. Mr. Burgoyne will have to identify the corner boundaries of the property before beginning construction. The Engineer's letter will serve as a basis for inspection of the system during construction.
