LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 10-2-84 PAGE 10 There were no residents present to speak for or against this proposal, and the public hearing was closed at 9:55 p.m. The Council reviewed the report from the City Engineer dated September 27, 1984. The report addresses: (1) Lot Size - The lot size is 1.0 acres where 2.0 acres is required for a natural environment lake. (2) House Elevation - The basement floor elevation is proposed to be 895 (1' above 100 year flood) where 897 (3' above 100 year flood) is required. (3) House Setback from Water - The house exceeds the 200' setback requirement. (4) Septic System Elevation - The applicant requests that elevation 894 be allowed where 897 (3' above 100 year flood) is required. (5) Well Location - The well location meets all setback requirements but is proposed to be located 30 feet from the east property line. (6) Septic System Design - No soil boring or percolation tests have been performed, therefore he could not evaluate any proposed system. He further stated that the variances for lot size and building elevation are reasonable and consistent with past Council action with other lots in Eden Park 2nd Addition. He is, however, reluctant to recommend any minimum drainfield elevation until proper soil tests are conducted. He also recommended that the well be placed 40 feet from the east property line so as not to impact any septic system placement on undeveloped Lot 9• He further stated that it would be appropriate to grant variance for lot size and building elevation but condi'Yon the variance for drainfield elevation upon satisfactory compliance with the Septic System Ordinance. M/S/P Fraser/Eder To grant shoreland permit and variance for lot size and building elevation but condition the variance for drainfield elevation upon satisfactory compliance with the Septic System Ordinance for Steve Howell at Lot 8, Block 1 Eden Park 2nd Addition. (Motion carried 4-0). K. Other The Engineer stated regarding the right -of -entry and waiver of trespass that was obtained from Myrtle Eder and the Berschen's for constructing the MSA improvements, that one of the conditions that was requested of Mrs. Eder and the Berschen's and tacked on to the right -of -entry agreement by the City Attorney was that the City vacate the unused portions of the road, prior to or by October 1, 1984. He contacted the attorney to find out what significance that date held because if that were very important, the Council would have to take action at this meeting. The Attorney did not get back to the Engineer, so he was simply making the Council aware of this deadline. The Engineer felt January 1, 1985 would be an appropriate date and has every intention in doing this by January 1, 1985. 6. City Council Reports A.
