LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 8 alternate would be 30 feet where 75 feet is required. Both primary and alternate systems can meet the required building elevation. The Engineer further recommended that if the Council views this application favorably, one variance would be required for septic system setback from the high flood mark. The degree of variance would be determined by which elevation was used for the high flood. He feels the VBWD elevation of 891 to be more accurate. The Engineer further indicated the the platted lot size exceeds 1.5 acres and the area above the OHW mark is .96 acres. The application understated the drainfield area required. A three bedroom home of 9 mpi average pert rate will require 600 gal x 1.27 SF/gal = Sf of treatment area; or 254 LF of trench. All other requirements of the Shoreland Regulations and Septic System Ordinance can be met. The DNR made no objection to this application. M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To approve the Shoreland Permit and septic system variance setback from the OHM for Mr. Kromschroeder on Lot 2, Block 1 Ruth's 1st Addition for the construction of a new home contingent upon the applicant complying with City Engineer's recommendation in his letter of June 14, 1984. (Motion carried 5-0) H. Application for a shoreland permit and variance for the construction of a house on lot 6, Krause's Addition by David Krause. The City Engineer reviewed his letter of June 14, 1984 in which he addresses (1) Lot size - the platted area consists of .92 acres of which .78 acres is above the OHW mark where 1.5 acres are required. Since the platted lot size exceeds 60% of that required, a variance from the zoning code is not required. This was a pre-existing lot prior to the adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance and no additional land is available. (2) Structure Setback from Water - The house is proposed to be a minimum of 80 feet from the OHW mark (elev. 924) where 100 feet is required. The house is proposed to be somewhat closer to the water than the neighboring houses because the septic system is on the road side of the lot, not the lake side. A deck is also shown as optional and being 50 feet from the OHW mark where 100 feet is required. All other conditions of the Shoreland and Septic System Ordinances can be met. The Engineer recommended that the deck be located where it would not require a variance. Mr. Krause stated that he changed his plans and the deck will be located on the east side of the house. M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To approve the Shoreland Permit and lot size and structure setback variances for David Krause at Lot 6, Krause's Addition contingent upon applicant complying with recommendations of the City Engineer in his letter of June 14, 1984.
