LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 18, 1991 PAGE 3 M/S/P Mottaz/Dick Johnson - to postpone consideration of Linder's Greenhouse request for a CUP amendment in order to assess the information received until the July 2, 1991 City Council meeting. (Motion carried 4-1: Hunt). B. Clean -Up Time Schedule for Hammes Property: Jim McNamara M/S/P Mottaz/Dick Johnson - to combine the first 2 phases (Phase 1: removal of all vehicles unlicensed and/or inoperable and. Phase 2: removal of all discarded and unusable tires) and extend this new phase to November 15, 1991, set a milestone of September 1, 1991 for removal of 50% of vehicles and tires and request an inventory of items that the owners would like to keep be supplied to the Building Official by July 15, 1991. (Motion carried 4-1: Dick Johnson: the extension is excessive due to the fact that he feels assistance can be obtained by the Hammes family such as services by a salvage operator to clean up the vehicles). C. Septic Ordinance Amendment: Jim McNamara At the request of Councilman Williams, Jim McNamara provided an amendment to the septic ordinance that would require all new septic tanks must have a 20" minimum dimension manhole extending to the surface. The septic tank must be pumped through the manhole access by removing the manhole cover. As part of the licensing procedures, septic pumpers will be required to follow this ordinance. The residents will also be informed of this ordinance by newsletter and the septic pumping card that is sent out. M/S/ Williams/Mottaz - to adopt Ordinance No. 8053 as printed with the exception, length of time in Item 2 should. be changed from one year to two years of adoption of said ordinance. M/S/F Dick Johnson/Dave Johnson - to amend the motion to exclude Item #2 of Ordinance 8053. (Motion failed 2-3: Hunt, Williams, Mottaz: Mottaz and Williams indicated this was a health and safety factor being this is the only way a septic tank can get a good cleaning which prevents systems having to be repaired). Attorney Filla pointed out in Section 701.040D3k there is a provision that applies to homeowners stating a manhole has to be within 12" below grade. This section would have to be amended if Ordinance 8053 is adopted. M/S/P Mottaz/Hunt - to postpone action on the motion until the July 2nd Council meeting and direct the city attorney for clarification of the discrepancey that was pointed out in Section 701.040D3k. (Motion carried 5-0)..
