SUBJ: Chapter 19, Article IV, Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council approves an ordinance amending Chapter 19,
Article IV, Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems."
City Council approval requires a majority vote of City Council present.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The city adopted the Carver County ordinance regarding SSTS with amendments to
specific sections on May 23, 2011. The County ordinance requires that the
maintainer submit the maintenance report to the city. The city does not always know
who the maintainers are who perform the work for an owner. In instances where the
property owner claims that they had their tanks pumped, the city may not have been
given the report and if we do not know the pumper, it cannot be verified. In other
instances, the pumper may give the report to the owner. However, there is nothing in
the ordinance that would require the owner to make sure a maintenance report is
provided to the city.
In instances where the City does not have the maintenance report, we would like a
means to require the owner to provide the report to the city. The amendment to the
Subsurface Sewage Treatment System would provide the city with this authority.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends. adoption of the notion approving the amendment to Subsurface
Sewage Treatment Systems regulations.
