LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES September 18, 1990 PAGE 5 our septic system code that states a variance to this setback can be granted). The building official has reviewed the site and. concurs that this is the best place for the septic system according to the soils. Acting Mayor Williams closed the public hearing at 8:44 p.m. Bohrer would support granting of the variance with the following recommendations: 1. A variance can be granted for a 5' setback to the drainfield from the right-of-way line where 10' is required with the hardship being the suitability of the soils on this lot dictate that this is the best location. 2. A bed system is proposed and is allowed as a replacement system to a failed existing system. The bed dimensions should be 10' wide x 80' long based on the sewage flow requirements of a 4-bedroom home. 3. The front propertyline should be staked by a surveyor if the existing pins are not in place. Reasons for this: the drainfield will only be 5' away so even a small variation could have an impact and the propertyline is not straight. 4. The Building Official should be present when the system is laid out before the actual. digging starts to verify the propertyline and the setback.
