Schilling indicating the city's concern about the commission staff recommendation to retain a 3,900 ft. ultimate primary runway length in the master plan for the Lake Elmo Airport. 2. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Councilman Mottaz: Councilman Mottaz reported research has been done on the septic tank man hole extension and found out the following: Washington County allows 6" earth cover over the manhole, Burnsville has an ordinance almost identical to Lake Elmo's regarding clean -out through the manhole, etc, and they also allow a 6" earthen cover; the University of MN experts recommend a 6" cover; and Chandler Concrete Fabricators recommend a 6" cover. The City staff has received approx. 100 telephone calls regarding this item and most of the people were offended by having to bring their manholes completely up to the ground surface. They would have preferred if it was simply stated they had to pump thru a manhole. Another option for Council consideration: pumping thru the manhole at the discretion of the property owner whether they want to dig it up every two years or bring it up to the surface.
