City Council meeting of September 3, 1996 Page 3 Goiffon made motion, Leroux seconded, to not adopt ORDINANCE 96-311, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY COUNCIL TO PROHIBIT FISHING AND/OR BOAT LAUNCHING FROM PUBLIC ROADS AND ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAYS WITHIN THE CITY. VOTING AYE: Barnes, Goiffon, Leroux, Miron VOTING NAY: Agness Motion Carried. VARIANCE (YODEL) C. Douglas and Janet Youel, 4749 122nd Street, have requested a series of variances in order to install a new septic system as the existing system is failing. The small parcel size (.47 acre) severely constrains potential siting of the replacement drainfield and septic tank. Al Goodman, the County septic inspector, has reviewed the site and proposed what he and Dale Eklin, representing the homeowners, consider the best alternative. The Board of Adjustments did not have a quorum present so this matter was forwarded to the Council without recommendation. Bill Greger, property owner to the south, stated that Mr. Youel has an illegal parking area, and should the new system leak, effluent would run down the driveway and onto his property. It was suggested that the City Engineer inspect the site and make a recommendation. Barnes made motion, Leroux seconded, to approve the following variances Eor C. Douglas and Janet Youel, 4749 122nd Street, to allow installation if a new septic system: 1. Lift station - 40' from lakeshore 2. Discharge pipe - 5' setback from the property line 3. Septic tanks - one tank instead of the two required Approval is contingent on Mr. Youel constructing whatever improvements are recommended by the City Engineer. All aye. Motion Carried. PROPOSED DOG ORDINANCE REVISIONS The Council considered an ordinance drafted by the City Attorney amending Hugo City Code, Chapter 30, regarding the keeping of dogs in the City of Hugo. This amendment was prepared in response to litigation currently underway between the Minnesota Council of Dog Clubs and the City of Hugo, and is meant to resolve this dispute by repealing certain sections of the ordinance and changing the wording to Section 30.19B to clearly indicate that it is not the City's intent to use certifications made in the collection of impounded dogs against property owners in the case of criminal court action. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE 96-311, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING HUGO CITY CODE CHAPTER 30 REPEALING SECTIONS 30.1, 30.61 AND 30.15. DOTING AYE: Agness, Barnes, Goiffon, Leroux, Miron lotion Carried.
