There is sufficient area for the alternate system for the new building, but he questions the computations for the alternate for the existing building. Using the square footages, 58 parking spaces are required. The original proposal has 56 parking spaces and Christenson sees no problem with adding two more spaces. With rearrangement of the lot the highway becomes the front, as opposed to the side. This makes the building within 20 or 30 feet off the highway and 50 feet is required for a front yard setback. Therefore, a front yard setback variance would be required for that existing due to the rearrangement of the lot lines. With the entire green area being used up as drainfield, there would have to be some special requirements for snow removal. The applicant would have to haul the snow out or plow it out to the vacant lot because he cannot deposit it on the drainfield.

The Ramsey and Washington Counties have recommended of 200 gal. per min. which would meet the minimum, but the pumping capacity may be too small. The pumping capacity of 700-900 (gpm) recommended by City Engineer Bohrer would exceed the minimum system requirement. In turn, they felt that pumping capacities of 300-370 (gpm) that would adequately service the area and will propose this to the two county boards. Morgan asked if there was an agreement for a pumping capacity of 300-370 gal. per minute would be acceptable, what would be a time table on how quickly we could get started. Ayers replied contingent on the ability of getting the two county boards together and a satisfactory resolution on the pumping capacity issue and those of the city's question of operation maintenance
