VARIANCE STANDARDS The City Council requested that the City Administrator provide background information to the Board of Adjustments regarding the standards to be used in reviewing applications for variances to the City's zoning ordinance. The Council will review and comment on the draft standards, and inform the Administrator whether they agree or disagree with the standards. SEPTIC DROP STATION The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services requested the City's assistance in finding a location to locate a septic drop site closed to the Forest Lake interceptor to replace the existing facility in White Bear Township. As the Township is now totally served by municipal sewer, they no longer have a need for the drop site. A large number of septic systems exist in the City of Hugo now, as well as in the future. Given the City's platting of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park, Phase 2, a proposed design for the dump station was prepared by MCES. This plan was provided to the Council for consideration and approval.
