JFFMAN DALY LINDGREN 612-8963265 09.09. 1994 12: 09 F 3 <br /> EXCERPT FROM RESOLUTION 94-91 <br /> by City assessment practices . The purpose of this policy <br /> is to protect the public health, safety and welfare by <br /> providing safe drinking water, sanitary sewer service and <br /> proper storm water management to all properties within the <br /> City' s urban services district. This will remain the <br /> City' s policy. <br /> 2 . Sandpiper Estates presents a unique situation for the <br /> following reasons : <br /> (a) All lots within Sandpiper Estates are at least one <br /> (1) acre in size or larger. These large lots provide <br /> sufficient room for on-site storm water management <br /> and for on-site septic systems, including repairs and <br /> extensions of systems that may fail . <br /> (b) Sandpiper Estates is a new subdivision with existing <br /> wells and septic systems which are only a few years <br /> old. These on-site systems, if properly maintained, <br /> can be expected to function adequately for 10 to 15 <br /> additional years . <br /> (c) Sandpiper Estates is located on generally stable <br /> soils far from any public waters . The potential for <br /> failed septic systems to pollute public waters <br /> appears to be minimal . <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of <br /> Elk River, Minnesota, as follows: <br /> 1. The City Engineer is directed to delete Sandpiper <br /> Estates from the Western Area Phase II Improvement <br /> Project. Although trunk sanitary sewer and water <br /> lines will be installed under 183rd Street through <br /> Sandpiper Estates, no lateral lines or individual <br /> service stubs will be extended from these trunk <br /> facilities to serve Sandpiper Estates, and no <br /> properties within Sandpiper Estates will be allowed <br /> to connect directly to the trunk lines . Following <br /> installation of the trunk facilities, 183rd Street <br /> will be returned to its existing condition within <br /> Sandpiper Estates . <br /> 2 . None of the forty-four (44) lots within Sandpiper <br /> Estates will be assessed any amounts for public <br /> improvements related to the Western Area Phase II <br /> Improvement Project . <br /> A 1 3 . The City will proceed to rezone the Sandpiper Estates <br /> Subdivision to the City' s R-1B zoning district, or to <br /> a new zoning district, providing a minimum lot size <br /> of one acre for properties not connected to City <br /> • sewer and water. By this Resolution, the Council <br /> adopts a moratorium preventing any lot splits within <br /> 2 . <br />
