City Council meeting of January 18, 2000 Page 3 VARIANCE (WUSSLER) Mr. Jack Wussler, 1319 Hewitt Avenue, St. Paul, MN., requested a variance to Hugo City Code, Chapter 263, to construct an individual sewage treatment system on Lot 6, Block 1, Oakshore Park subdivision, without a second drainfield location. This matter was considered by the Council at their meeting of December 6, 1999, at which time action on the application was tabled in order to allow the City Engineer to provide a recommendation regarding the drainage ditch across the property, and to clarify item 4 on page 3 of Jeff Lutz's memo of November 8, 1999. The City Engineer provided a report on his meeting with Kate Drewry of the RCWD, and the property owner, regarding the storm water drainage across the property, and the grade issues raised by Mr. Lutz in his letter of November 8th. Staff' recommended: 1. Approval of the variance to construct an individual sewage treatment system on Lot 6, Block 1, Oakshore Park subdivision, without a second drainfield location, as public sewer and water service is planned for the area. 2. The City Engineer be authorized to enter into negotiations with Mr. Wussler for the City's cost participation on the grading of Mr. Wussler's property in return for a drainage easement to extend from Ethan Avenue to Bald Eagle Lake.

Leroux made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve the variance request of Jack Wussler to construct an individual sewage treatment system on Lot 6, Block 1, Oakshore Park, without a second drainfield location, as this area is scheduled for public improvements in the near future.
