LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MTG. - 5/3/83 Page four • Eder - the most urgent problem we have to address now is the residential streets for the hearing. Guidelines are needed for maximum people would pay. o Whittaker - decision we have to make quickly is if we want to get in on the County sealcoating program; assessment hearing can be held after improvements are made. ♦ Morgan - perhaps we should work out the two options, 20% and 90% assessments and something in the middle. ♦ Eder - same theme in localized area was Hidden Bay where assessments were divided equally amongst number of parcels. ♦ Whittaker - MSA project is handled by dividing number of zoning lots per parcel. This is policy decision - what's the fairest way to spread this cost. ♦ Eder - fairest way to go into this hearing is to have several options on how to handle densely populated areas and get comments on how to handle this. M/S/P Morgan/Mazarra to take items discussed here to public hearing and which are to be presented as various alternatives of financing. (Carried 5-0) V. anorelana rermir a variance, harry nngiana - nonrer expiainea applica- tion for Shoreland Permit by Harry England at 9429 Jane Road North. Permit was reviewed for conformance with Shoreland regulations and individual septic system section of the City code. The Englands' proposal to replace their failed septic system meets the sewer system ordinance and also meets the setback requirements on Lake Jane. However, the Shoreland Ordinance is more restrictive and the proposal does not meet the required horizontal setback of 75' from the High Flood Mark (elevation 928) or minimum building elevation of 931. If Council ( wishes the new septic system to be installed because of the various economic hardships, etc., the following variances would be required as spelled out in Larry's Bohrer's letter dated 3/3/83: 1. Variance to locate the drainfield less than 20' from the home. 2. Variance to construct bottom of drainfield trenches at elevation 928 where 931 is required. 3. Variance to construct drainfield within 30' of High Flood Mark where 75' is required. Larry Bohrer has contacted DNR, and this application would meet the State shoreland regulations; they have given their okay. Report will be sent on to them. M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara to grant Shoreland Permit and variances as recommended by Engineer, Mr. Bohrer. (Carried 4 ayes, Eder abstain) Bohrer - DNR procedure has been that building official receives application; shoreland permits are sent to Bohrer for review and then he sends review to DNR. Would suggest building official send application to DNR concurrently with engineer. E. 201 Update - In February when we applied for grant, we anticipated we would receive a grant offer from the EPA in May. We been notified that they are reviewing this application and concur that there is no environmental impact of this project. They must publish their findings and they're going to wait 30 days for public comment. This puts date of offer back to as late as July which won't affect 1984 construction of these improvements.
