Page 1 of 1 <br /> City Of Pequot Planning & Zoning <br /> From: Dean [dean @fireplacepro.com] <br /> Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 3:47 PM <br /> To: City Of Pequot Planning &Zoning <br /> Subject: Follow-up to Last Night's Meeting <br /> Dawn, <br /> Not sure if it is you or Chuck that put the ISTS ordinance change on the agenda. You seamed to react <br /> more so I will give you my feelings. I do not like the requirements on 7.7 2 F and I do not thin it is in <br /> compliance with state rules. <br /> Eight years back when I was with Murray County P&Z, I fought with MPCA staff on language that <br /> would ensured homeowners are not burned with the cost of repeat inspections and unnecessary changes <br /> to their ISTS. That language is still found in the following areas: Mn Rules 7080.0315 Subp. 2.F, Subp. <br /> 3.C. (1) second sentence, 7080.0310 Subp. 4 and 7080.0175 Subp. 2. <br /> So if you replace this section with the requirement of notifying the City on the assessment of the ISTS <br /> every three years, I would agree. The big difference is the cost to recheck separation in soil and sizing <br /> of system. The assessment(pumping of the tank) can be done by a pumper not a Compliance Inspector. <br /> This assumes you do have records on all ISTS that were installed under the permitting authority of the <br /> County and City, and have them tied to each individual parcels. Thus knowing which systems were <br /> installed with some oversight and which are not. If not the city needs to step back and get that done <br /> before adding a cost burden to the citizens of Pequot Lakes. <br /> Dean <br /> 4/23/2007 <br />
