and packaged treatment plants. The city also submitted maps showing the Tri-lakes Area Off -site and Cluster Septic Systems as well as the Old Village Area Off -site and Cluster Septic Systems. In reference to the individual on -site and cluster septic systems and packaged treatment plants, the plan states that the city participated in the 201 program to correct private septic systems. It states: "Over 100 residences and businesses received new individual systems or were connected to new cluster systems." The plan further states that "A dedicated area of 20,000 square feet of land suitable for an on -site trench system is required for each new residential lot in the city." The plan also quotes city codes (Section 707.050) which lay out requirements for cluster septic systems. In the Goals and Policies section of the plan, the plan states the policy "to require that the design and construction of any public sanitary sewer eliminate excessive infiltration and inflow and be in compliance with current acceptable engneering standards and those set by the Minnesota PCA." The goal in regard to "Individual On -site and Cluster Septic Systems and Packaged Treatment Plants" is "to allow properly designed cluster treatment systems for multiple properties only where existing individual systems have failed." and "to prohibit private package treatment systems for new development." Under the policies section, the plan states: "To assure proper functioning of on - site individual systems by requiring proper site location, system design, installation, inspection, and maintainence of each system." The staff of the Natural Resources Division is satisfied with the changes as proposed by the city. There will be no regional impact from flows as projected in the plan since there is adequate capacity in the WONE Interceptor to serve the wastewater flows as shown, provided the approved flows from the city of Oakdale are not increased. TRANSPORTATION (Braden) The city's transportation goals and policies are consistent with those of the Council. However, Lake Elmo's population/household forecasts are higher than those of the Council. Distribution of population/households/employment by TAZ is different than that of the Council, in part because the city uses higher numbers but also because the proportionate distribution is different. The Council has no information indicating that the city responded to the Council's request to review TAZ distributions. The functional classification of the city does not match that adopted by the Transportation Advisory Board. Specifically, the city shows several roads identified as collectors that are designated minor arterials on the TAB map. If the city wishes to change the designation of some of these roads, it should submit a- request to the Transportation Advisory Board to make any other necessary changes to classification of specific roadways. The city of Lake Elmo should be aware that the city of Woodbury is proposing an extension of Bielenberg Drive as a minor arterial (connection to Helmo Avenue) into Lake Elmo. The plan describes existing transit service, but it does not elaborate on potential needs such as services for the elderly/disabled. The city should add information to its public transit discussion. Additional comments regarding transit from the Metropolitan Transit Board are contained in Attachment A.
