The water coming off the driveway needs to be slowed down before it gets to the lake. <br /> Rain gardens or a berming system could be used. Stormwater from the house can be <br /> guttered to rain gardens or low spots. <br /> Ms. Brown asked if the two items he is considering are because he needs to redo his <br /> septic system. Mr. Marohn explained they are separate but related issues. The location <br /> of the structure will determine if that is a hardship. The reason to look at the hardship for <br /> the SSTS is topography and location of wells. We will deal with the structure first. <br /> When asked if the well is existing, Mr. Lind stated that it is not; a sand point well is <br /> located in the basement. The Planning Commission advised that a well can be placed <br /> anywhere within the lake setback. <br /> A nonconforming SSTS must be made conforming. <br /> Chairman Woog advised that the Planning Commission can table this matter to allow the <br /> applicant time to research if it will work or they can deny it and deal with a variance for <br /> the sewer. <br /> The following was offered to applicant: <br /> 1. Applicant can tear down the existing dwelling and completely rebuild it; <br /> 2. To change the roof pitch or increase the footprint would require a variance; <br /> 3. The four-foot addition would need to be eliminated; <br /> 4. The City may be able to help with variances for health and safety issues; <br /> 5. Impervious coverage and deck encroachment would need to be addressed. <br /> Mr. Lind asked what the City does for nonconforming septics. He estimated 90%on <br /> Sibley Lake are nonconforming. Mr. Marohn stated there are no nonconforming septics <br /> that we are aware of. <br /> A table would allow Mr. Lind to discuss the issues with his wife. Mr. Lind stated the <br /> roof is a nonissue. <br /> Mr. Lind asked if he could wait until spring to make a decision without the necessity of <br /> paying another application fee. He was advised he would need to sign a waiver. <br /> After looking through the parcel file, Mr. Hallan stated that the Compliance Inspection <br /> submitted by Bud Sergent in 2004 is correct. The septic system is now nonconforming <br /> due to a 1350 gallon tank rather than a 1500 gallon tank required under the current <br /> County code. <br /> A motion was made by Tom Adams, seconded by Mark Hallan,to table this request. All <br /> members voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> Chairman Woog closed the public hearings. <br /> Minutes 4 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> September 16, 2010 <br />
