systems, individual or communall City Staffl currently works With property owners who are transitioning from septic systems .to sewer and water, to ensure that existing systems are properly abandoned per MPCA requirements. Staff has added some language under G. - Design of Sewer and Water Facilities to further clarify this reqUirement. Staff has also added some language to sections :C. ' Urban Development Plan Required and D. - Additional Plat Requirements. Staff had :sOme :concerns that these 2 requirements may be burdensome to property owners Wishing. to :¢create only 1 new lot, .and that the City Council may wish to allow an excepti~on to the0¢ requirements. It is important to note that all. other sections of the code would still apply. Staff feels that exceptions to these requirements should be granted on a case-by-case basis, however.
