LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 21, 1987 PAGE 3 City Engineer Bohrer had the following recommendations regarding the septic system. 1. The septic tank cover should be removed and the condition of the baffles checked. 2. The distance to the neighbor's well to the north must be checked to make sure the drainfield is at least 50' away. 3. The design flow for a 5-bedroom house is 900 gallons per day. 4. Percolation rates in the 6-15 mpi range requires 1.27 SF/gpd of treatment area; therefore: 900 gpd x 1.27 SF/gpd - 1,143 SF of drainfield required. 5. Typical trenches are 3-feet wide; therefore: 1143 SF = 381 lineal feet of 3 foot wide drainfield 3 is required. 6. City Code requires a minimum of 12" of filter rock under the distribution pipes. 7. The land is sloping; therefore, a drop box system is required. M/S/P Armstrong/Johnson - to approve the application by Donald Wright, 2069 Lake Elmo Avenue for a Shoreland Permit to allow construction of a 22' x 26' addition and installation of a new drainfield, contingent upon the City Engineer's recommendation regarding the septic system.

James Jungmann, 9404 Lake Jane Trail. Mayor Christ opened up the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. in the City 00uncil chambers. Mr. James Jungmann proposes to build a 960 sq.ft. accessory building at 9404 Lake Jane Trail. Since this lot is on the southeast shore of Lake Jane, Shoreland Regulations apply. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. That public notice was duly published and sent. 2. That the code allows one accessory building up to 1000 SF in an R-1 zone. Since this building is 960 SF and there are no other accessory buildings, this proposal is allowed. 3. That Mr. Jungmann proposes to place this building within 5' of the east property line where 10' is required. A
