WHEREAS, the ordinance is lengthy; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, section 412.191, subd. 4, allows publication by title and summary in the case of lengthy ordinances or those containing charts or maps; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the following summary would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, that the City Clerk shall cause the following summary of Ordinance No. 08-235 to be published in the official newspaper in lieu of the entire ordinance: Public Notice The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-235, which amends the City Zoning Code language for septic drainfield size requirements. The following is a summary of the adopted ordinance language: Before a building permit could be released the City Code previously required a minimum of 20,000 square feet of septic area (and approved permit from Washington County) for rural single family lots. Since the City is not the reviewing authority for septic systems, the Code now defers to the standards established by Washington County. The amendment is not considered to be reduction of expectations. Instead it is an alignment of regulations between review authorities. The full text of Ordinance No. 08-235 is available for inspection at Lake Elmo City Offices during regular business hours. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo that the City Administrator keep a copy of the ordinance at City Hall for public inspection and that a full copy of the ordinance be placed in a public location within the City. Dated: March 4a`, 2020 Mayor Mike Pearson ATTEST: *Johnson,QCZIerLkf.2'-' (SEAL) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against same: Whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
