Robin <br /> Wayzata Law Group <br /> 1907 East Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 170 <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391 <br /> Re: Wapiti Park Campground Interim Use Permit Request <br /> Dear Mr. Robin: <br /> By letter dated February 21, 2014, Elk River Planning Staff requested that Wapiti Park <br /> Campground submit additional information regarding waste water management for the store <br /> building. By letter dated February 26, 2014, you responded that the store building is served by a <br /> septic system consisting of two tanks and a drain field on the north side of the building, but that <br /> the applicant does not have records as to the size of the system, does not know when the system <br /> was built, does not have any plans or any copies of any permits for the system and does not have <br /> copies of any inspection reports for the system. You also indicated that there are two additional <br /> septic systems on the campground property, but also provided no information as to the size, <br /> installation date, plans,perinits or inspection records for these systems. <br /> Wapiti Park Campground is located entirely within the City's Shoreland Management <br /> Overlay Zoning District. Attached is that portion of the City's Shoreland District Zoning Map <br /> which covers the Campground property. As you can see, a portion of the Campground falls <br /> within the shoreland area located within 1,000 feet of Orono Lake; and the balance of the <br /> Campground property falls within the shoreland area located within 300 feet of the Elk River. <br /> The City is required, by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 103F and Minnesota Rules, <br /> Parts 6120-2500 to 6120.3900, to adopt shoreland zoning regulations that comply with the State <br /> statute and regulations. The City has done so, in Section 30-1961, et seq., of the City Code of <br /> Ordinances. These regulations govern all land uses located within shoreland areas, including <br /> those located within 1,000 feet of a lake or within 300 feet of a river. <br /> Minnesota Rules, Part 6120.3400, Subpart 3(B)requires that: <br /> All private sewage treatment systems must meet or exceed applicable rules of the <br /> Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, <br /> specifically Chapter 7080 for individual sewage treatment systems, and any <br /> applicable local government standards. <br />
