LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL. MINUTES FEBRUARY 6, 1990 PAGE 2 Have you advertized for a new administrator or are you going to? Mayor Dunn responded the Personnel Review Committee will be making a recommendation soon. 5. REAPP REPORT Dick Acree, ReAPP Member, referred to his letter to the Council dated February 3, 1990 in regard to the issue of our contractor, DPRA, working on behalf of another client, to attempt to block the Anoka County/City of Ramsey site expansion. ReAPP decided it would be best if a letter was sent to DPRA stating we don't approve of DPRA proposing and possibly performing engineering duties on behalf of groups that are attempting to block landfill sites from selection, in conjunction with the current effort by the Metropolitan Council. Since the present contract between DPRA and the City does not clearly prohibit their participation in othersite evaluations, they are requesting the contract be amended to preclude similar situations on any other site. Also in this letter, ReAPP requested adding how pleased they were with the report from DPRA on review of other sites in Washington County that were rejected. Acree provided a rough draft letter for staff which included the amendment to Page 3 of the contract. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to direct the Acting -Administrator to write the requested letter to DPRA including the suggested revision to the contract. (See amendment to Page 3 of contract) (Motion carried 4-0). 6. PLANNING/LAND USE AND ZONING: A. PUBLIC HEARING: Variance to Setback from OHWM and Shoreland Permit to Replace Septic System: Patrick Flanagan, 4473 Olson Lake Trail Mayor Dunn opened up the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m. in the Council chambers. The Public Hearing notice was published and adjacent property owners were notified. There was no one to speak for or against the application. Patrick Flanagan, 4473 Olson Lake Trail. N., has applied for a Shoreland Permit to replace his existing septic system. This lot is on the west side of Olson Lake and shoreland regulations apply. Shoreland regulations require a 75 ft. setback from the high water elevation to the drainfield. The site evaluator and the City's Building Official viewed the site and recommended the system be installed 65 ft. from the high water elevation in order to have some flexibility in the construction. The hardship given was the existing location of the house and its proximity to the Lakeshore. The well is located on the roadside of the house. Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m.
