M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To approve the Shoreland Permit for Brian Crombie on the newly created lot at 8120 DeMontreville Trail North. (Motion carried 5-0) C. Shoreland Permit and structure and drainfield setback variances for Hammon T. Becken at Lots 3 & 4, Eden Park 2nd Addition. Mr. Becken is proposing to construct a single family home on lots 3 and 4, Eden Park 2nd Addition. This property is located along the south shore of Downs Lake. Bruce Folz appeared on behalf of the Beckens. He reviewed the past history of Eden Park 2nd Addition and the varying water and setback levels. The variances that the Beckens are requesting are: (a) a structure setback of 92 feet from the OHW where 200 feet is required; (b) the drainfield elevation of 895 where 897 is required; (c) a drainfield setback of 50 feet from the OHW where 75 feet from the high flood is required. The Engineer commented that he did not have any problem with varying the setback for the structure or the drainfield since there was no land on the property which could meet these requirements. Regarding lowering the drainfield elevation from 897 to 895, the Engineer said that although he cannot see any adverse environmental impacts from this elevation he felt that since higher land existed, the drainfield should be placed on the highest possible piece of property which could meet the 897 elevation. This would require the use of an effluent pump which is more expensive to install and maintain, however, it is a standard practice used throughout many areas of Lake Elmo. M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To approve the Shoreland Permit and structure setback variances for Mr. Becken on lots 3 and 4 of Eden Park 2nd Addition, contingent upon the applicant meeting the conditions setforth in the City Engineer's report dated April 11, 1984 excluding the drainfield elevation comment and contingent upon the house elevation and minimum drainfield elevation be staked by an engineer or surveyor in the field. (Motion carried 5-0) If the Beckens proceed with their plans for a tennis court, they would be required to apply for a Shoreland Permit. D. Jane Road North: Presentation of plans and specifications; plus request to order advertisement for bids. City Engineer Bohrer presented the plans and specifications to the City Council.
