STAFF REPORT DATE: July 10, 2018 REGULAR ITEM #: 3 TO: Council FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: Sunfish Ponds Septic System REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the Council direct Staff to bring approval of a septic system in an undesignated area of Outlot A of Sunfish Ponds, over which the City has a conservation easement? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Location of Septic Area and Conservation Easement. Sunfish Ponds has Individual Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS). Many of these systems are within Outlots A and B, over which the City has a conservation easement. The conservation easement states that owners may maintain, repair, and replace existing utility systems such as water, sewer, power, fuel and communication lines and related facility within the protected outlots without prior approval of the City. Installation of new utility systems or extensions of existing utility systems, however, require prior approval. Sunfish Ponds designated in its Septic Sewer Plan where septic areas could go. Request. The owner of Lot 4, Block 1 of Sunfish Ponds (4146 Kirkwood Lane N) had a failed septic system within Outlot B. The attached septic sewer plan indicates where both the primary and secondary septic systems could go within Outlot B. In order to remedy this, it is possible for a mound system to be constructed within Outlot B. Due to concerns of surrounding property owners (there is no formal Homeowners’ Association (HOA)), the owner and potential buyer are requesting that the system be constructed in Outlot A outlined in the attached plan – Kirkwood Septic Options and below for reference. Issues. • Deviation from Plan. The City has heard that a number of homes within this development have septic systems that are near the completion of their lifetime. It would be difficult for the City to allow this owner, who has an option to construct a mound system within the designated area, to construct a septic area in an undesignated area, possibly leaving future homeowners with no option of future septic area. • Sewer. If this development were to hook up to sewer (it is not currently within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area), the area in which the septic system is being proposed would be disturbed by a sewer pipe, leaving the home without wastewater treatment for the period of time it takes to hook up the system. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that the City not allow the septic area to be located outside of the previously-approved area in order to ensure all property owners within the development have equal septic area possibilities in the case of future failed systems. Staff is requesting that the Council provide direction on whether to bring this for approval at a future City Council meeting.

Kirkwood Septic Options From:Tillges, Jennifer To:Emily Becker Subject:Re: 4146 Kirkwood Date:Monday, April 30, 2018 3:38:28 PM Hi Emily, We would like to purpose outlet A be used for the new mound septic system for 4146 Kirkwood. Brian Humpal has provided a map of potential locations that would be options to service this home. As Brian mentioned today, the design was done poorly when the homes were built back in 2003 & unfortunately the owners have a non-compliant septic as a result of a system that was originally signed off on when the home was built. Out lot B in the middle of the neighborhood will not go over well with the HOA and we will work on getting signatures from the neighbors prior to the workshop meeting on 6/12/18. Is there anything else that I should include, in order for us to get on the schedule for the workshop and city council meeting? Would an email from the owner be suffice, allowing myself and Brian to attend the meetings on their behalf? Thank you for your time today.
