LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING 10-4-83 Page 11 the final decision as to whether or not it will be metal or concrete block. Eder - I am really concerned that now they are going from step A to step B. I don't want them to end up detracting from their availability to attract good business' adjacent to their property. Folz - We did a Concept Plan Design before we got this far to try to look at the land use. He chose to be in the SE corner of this site because he felt the drive-in theatre is not the most desirable thing to put some other business next to, and he felt a bus storage site would be a good buffer from the drive-in theatre. He also wanted to get some exposure on the highway for his buses. There is also, in the SE corner of this property, a natural gas pumping station and there is a relief valve in there so from that standpoint he thought this would be the best location. Folz - One other comment: I had a call from Nels Nelson of Valley Branch, and after review said there was no problem, that it met all requirements, but then called later and said there was one minor problem. That is, there will be bus storage units in here and the potential that one of the buses could have a fuel leak and fuel could go into this pond is a concern to the water safety so, therefore, they are asking that we put a structure on the outside which would actually be a device to stop the potential oil from going out. They are asking for a skimmer to be put in there. M/S/P (Morgan/Mazzara) To approve the grading permit as suggested by the engineer and amended by the Watershed District. (Carried 5-0) C: Engineering Agreement - 201 Sewer Project Larry Bohrer discussed sample letter he suggested be sent to the EPA, thru the the MPCA, asking to take a certain number of failing septic systems ahead of schedule, out of sequence. We would recommend the stepping -up of the five individual on -site septic systems. To define 'stepping up' Bohrer responded by saying that it would take approximately six months to prepare the plans and specifications, the EPA says to allow six months for review, so we are looking at a 1985 construction. Five people have contacted us and said they could not wait and asked if there was anything we could do to speed up the process. The rules and regulations do allow certain work items to be exempt from the normal procedures. We would like to submit this letter and get approval and do it this fall. 11
