MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Paul Krauss, Planning Director
1 DATE: December 5, 1990
1 SUBJ: Rural Area Policies /2k Acre Minimum Lot Size
' As the Planning Commission is probably aware, the Metropolitan
Council is considering policy changes concerning rural areas which
by definition are those areas located outside the MUSA line. In
' previous packets I have presented copies of preliminary drafts of
materials presented by the Metro Council on this issue. There are
a number of potential issues affecting Chanhassen directly from
these policy changes. My written comments to the Metro Council on
these changes is attached to this memo.
In addition to discussing these policies at the Planning Commission
' meeting, I wish to also discuss the rural area minimum lot size.
As you are aware, the City has a requirement that minimum lot size
in the rural area be 21 acres. This requirement was adopted by the
City as a result of the Lake Ann Interceptor Agreement. Some would
' argue that the agreement and conditions were imposed upon the City
by the Metropolitan Council. Staff has no argument with the rural
area density of 1 unit per 10 acres however it is computed by the
Metro Council. From my experience and from data that was collected
during the drafting of the Comprehensive Plan, it is clear that the
City must take reasonable precautions on preventing premature
development in the rural areas. Premature development of these
areas leads to significant environmental problems as well as making
it difficult to expand the community and extend urban services when
it is necessary to do so. Our recent dealings with neighborhoods
' such as Timberwood or Sun Ridge Court bring these problems to mind.
However, I, and I believe several Planning Commissioners, have felt
that the 21/2 acre minimum lot size requirement is a problem. Two
' and one -half acre lots tend to gobble up large tracts of land to
support relatively few households. It results in development
patterns such as Timberwood that are difficult to provide services
' to if it becomes necessary to do so or to route services around
since assessing these properties may be difficult, if not
politically impossible. This is not to infer that somebody who
1

' desires to live on a 2 acre lot should be prevented from doing so,
only that institutionalizing the 2 acre minimum in .the ordinance
is probably not an ideal thing to do. However, since this
requirement was imposed upon us by the Metro Council, there has
been relatively little thought given to this standard. However, as
I indicated to the Planning Commission last month in a meeting with
Metro Council Staff, I was informed that the Metro Council now
supports a 1 acre minimum lot size in these areas although they
still uphold the 1 per 10 acre density rule. I was further
informed, and am frankly somewhat upset to find, that the Metro
1 Council appears to have changed this standard from 21 acres to 1
acre at virtually the same time they were requiring the City of
Chanhassen to adhere to it in 1986. In any event, it is clear that
we probably have flexibility to lower our minimum lot size if we
choose to do so. I would like to throw this out for discussion
purposes. I believe it would be in the City's best interest and
probably the property owner's best interest in these areas to allow
' for these smaller lot sizes. At the same time, the Metro Council
is insisting that cities adopt high standards of design and
maintenance for on -site sewer systems and this is an understandable
' requirement since this is an environmental concern associated with
these systems. The City of Chanhassen adopted these standards in
1986, thus, we are probably in conformance with any new policies
that the Metro Council would be creating at the present time.
We believe, however, that it might be useful to look into the
possibility of allowing 1 acre lots with a community based on -site
disposal system rather than individual drainfields. If properly
designed, the community based system should have an improved
potential for being better maintained, would facilitate inspection
' by the city and ultimately would facilitate the expansion of city
utilities to serve the area at such time that this becomes
necessary since it would simply be a matter of disconnecting the
pipes from the community drainfield and connecting them into city
' lines.
Should the Planning Commission be interested in pursuing this
matter further, you should be aware that the 21 acre standard is
not only in our ordinance, it is in the Lake Ann Interceptor
Agreement. This is a contract that was entered into by the City
and Metro Council and is a contract that would have to be amended
if this standard is to be revised. I have requested the City
Attorney to draft a contract amendment and this is included in the
packet of materials attached to this memo. Staff is seeking your
direction in these matters.
CITY COUNCIL UPDATE
1 The Planning Commission considered this item at their meeting on
December 12th. The Commissioners were unanimously interested in
1
1

December 5, 1990
Page 3
pursuing revising the Lake Ann Interceptor Agreement such that the
city would have the flexibility to reduce rural lot area sizes down
to one acre. They believed that it would give flexibility in
developing these areas that is not presently the case. At the
same, this development could more easily be fit into future
expansions of the MUSA line. Based upon the foregoing, it is
recommended that the City Council direct staff to submit the
proposed contract amendment language to the Metropolitan Council. 1
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council direct staff to submit the

Manager's Comments: In discussing the options presented above, it 1
is important for the Council to keep in mind that the overall
density remains the same in either proposal, i.e. one dwelling unit
for each ten acres of land (four units per 40 acres). The only
question is whether those four home sites should be allowed to be
clustered as four 1 acre lots with the remaining 36 acres
undevelopable or be allowed to exist as four 21 acre lots with the
remaining 30 acres then being undevelopable.
The concept of requiring a community septic system for these types
of developments has merits in regards to maintenance /inspection
activity /minimal efforts to reconnect to a municipal system if such
were ever - available. However, based on my own experiences of
living with a septic system, the thought of a community septic
system instinctively scares me. If it is your septic system, you
pay the price if your consumption is too high,, you use the wrong
types of household detergents /bowl cleaners /etc. or if you
improperly dispose of diapers, etc. A four lot subdivision
consisting of a family of ten, an amateur photo finishing retiree,
and two yuppie couples represents a potential time bomb.
Unfortunately, with the municipal system being two miles away, the
City Council could be left trying to find a solution to an
unsolvable problem. Before proceeding with the community system,
additional research should be completed. This office agrees with
the Planning Commission recommendation that the pros and cons of a
community system should reasonably be explored. Given my own bias,
1 am not anticipating that making changes will be warranted.

Metropolitan Council
Mears Park Centre
230 East 5th Street
St. Paul, MN 55101
Dear Carl:
Unfortunately, due to prior commitments, I was unable to attend any
of the public meetings on the proposed Council Policies for Rural
Service Areas. Working with our local association of southwestern
communities, John Boland has presented you with some documentation
that in part covers the position of the City of Chanhassen.
However, I believe it would be valuable fdr me to convey to you
i directly our reactions to the proposed policy changes. My comments
follow the outline of proposed changes presented in Table 6 of your
report.
Preservation of Agriculture
The City of Chanhassen does not have any major issues with ag
preservation, however, we believe that the Ag Preserve Policy
should reflect the location of parcels in transition areas where
these occur. For example, the City of Chanhassen still retains a
' fair amount of agricultural land in the southern part of our city.
Much of this land is leased while being held for development and we
have only approximately 3 to 4 active farmers working the
' community. Some of the acreage in this area is listed as ag
preserves. However, in our community this area is surrounded on
four sides by urbanized development and in all probability this
' will ultimately be converted to urban uses. As you are probably
aware by now, the City of Chanhassen is working on a complete
redraft of our Comprehensive Plan that will expand the MUSA line by
approximately 2,600 acres since we are virtually out of developable
land within the MUSA at the present time.

Lot Size
Under the 1986 Lake Ann Interceptor Agreement, the City of
Chanhassen was required to adopt 1 per 10 acre density zoning,
improve regulations for on -site sewers,and was also required to
adopt 211 acre minimum lot sizes. It came as quite a surprise when
you indicated to me in a meeting in Chanhassen two months ago that
the Council had deleted the 21/2 acre lot size standard approximately
at the same time as the City of Chanhassen was required to adhere
to it. The City of Chanhassen has had considerable problems
stemming from the 2 acre minimum. We in no way object to the 1
per 10 acre density in the rural area, but the 21 acre lot size
minimum has create a series of rural subdivisions that make it
extraordinarily difficult to transition these areas to urban
development. They become virtual black holes where it is almost
impossible to extend city utilities since it is difficult to assess
costs back to properties that have just spent considerable sums of
money on installing private utilities. We are, therefore,
gratified to read that no minimum lot size is being proposed and
that performance standards based on on -site disposal are being
shown in place of establishing a minimum. I would anticipate that
the City of Chanhassen will be coming back to the Metro Council
shortly with the goal of revising that portion of the Lake Ann
Interceptor Agreement that stipulated 2 acre minimums for our
community. We would anticipate trying to promote further
clustering of such development that is allowed to take place within
the 1 per 10 acre guideline in our transition area.
On -Site Sewage Disposal Systems
1
As I noted earlier, Chanhassen has adopted and has been
enforcing for the last 3 years current standards for development of
on -site utilities. Your proposed guidelines would require
communities to "certify" compliance prior to approving local plan
amendments. I would clarification as to what this certification
entails since we would like to minimize the need for expanded
administrative procedures or bureaucracy. Another possibly more
important issue of on -site sewage disposal systems is that in
transition areas such as those found in Chanhassen, it may be more
reasonable to consider the use of a community based private
disposal system using a common drainfield and other facilities. We
believe that if these facilities are designed and maintained
appropriately, that they provide a better opportunity for
maintenance at a higher standard and facilitate inspection when
this is required. We also believe that most importantly these
sorts of systems would lend themselves to conversion to city public
sanitary sewer at such time as these are available. We would ask
that you consider looking into standards that may be applied for
such systems and make this option available. 1

Transition Areas
' We are gratified that the Metro Council is considering the
adoption of a Transition Area Policy. We believe that the
undeveloped portions of Chanhassen represent an ideal area for this
designation. Our undeveloped areas are surrounded by urbanization
on all four sides and is currently served by or will be bisected by
four lane Highways. We are concerned, however, that while the
concept of transition areas has been proposed that there are no
specific guidelines for them. In particular, we note concerns that
we have had along with other, units of government in this area
' regarding Council policies relative to highway improvements through
what we believe will be termed the transition area. Concerns
raised by the Metro Council regarding extensions of Highway 5 and
construction of Highway 212 through the transition area, in spite
of the fact that we are planning for these to be developed and the
fact that there is ample demand for the roadways, brings these
issues to the forefront. We also note that our mass transit has
' been hampered by an inability to site a park and ride facility at
the intersection of Highways 5 and 41. This area is currently
located outside of the MUSA although we are proposing that this be
' brought into the MUSA line. Metro Council policy currently
prohibits the expenditure of funds for transit improvements outside
the MUSA line, in spite of the fact that Highways 5 and 41 are
highly traveled and would be an ideal spot to intercept trips
' coming from Chaska, Waconia and points west. We would appreciate
the opportunity to interact with you and your staff further
regarding the transition areas, should an opportunity arise.
Density /Clustering
' As noted earlier, the City of Chanhassen has already adopted
the 1 per 10 acre density guidelines and has no problems in
continuing enforcement of them. We believe that this policy is of
great use in protecting the transition areas from premature
development. However, the proposed ways in which density is to be
calculated are unwieldy and I believe inappropriate for transition
areas and for areas such as those found around Chanhassen. Options
' A and B would require the analysis to include substantial tracts of
property that are in all likelihood not owned by the person
applying for a subdivision. In Chanhassen, the agricultural
property has generally been subdivided into considerably smaller
tracts then are found further out in the rural areas. In essence,
the proposal you have offered constitutes a de facto transfer of
development rights whereby the City would, by approving a
subdivision for Landowner A, thereby precluding Landowner B who
happens to be within the 160 acre or 640 acre tract from any
development without any knowledge on their part. I believe this is
' inherently unfair and should be avoided. Again, we do not oppose
the densities that you are proposing, in fact the reverse is true.
1

We are merely concerned with the methods you are proposing for
computing them. We would like to be able to continue with policies
that have already been developed and in use since 1987.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed
revised policies. We look forward to working with you on this and
related matters. We will be in contact with you and your staff
shortly regarding the release of the conditions from the 1986 Lake
Ann Interceptor Agreement relative to minimum lot area
requirements.

Batzli: If they had had to go through the process, you know the formal
review process, would we have had an opportunity to comment on that?
Krauss: Yes.
Batzli: Is it clear that that interceptor is not going to occur? '
Krauss: It's still I think on the Metro Waste books but everybody tells
you that it's dead. Metro Waste is going through a study or wants to
initiate a study as to what to do with the Chaska sewage treatment plant. II
The alternatives include enlarging it, which is a problem since it's in the
flood plain. It gets innundated. Or eliminate it and if they eliminate i
they need to have a Metro Interceptor taking this stuff, the sewage to Blu
Lake. We've been telling that if you do, whichever alternative you choose,
we need to be considered. Our future needs to be taken into account. The
Chaska plant is kind of unique. The Chaska plant is an old municipal plan
and it was designed to serve Chaska and Metro Waste bought it with regiona
dollars, our dollars. They've improved it with our dollars. The regional
dollars and we have no access to it because all the lines leading to the II
Chaska plant are municipal Chaska lines. Now on the other side of town,
Eden Prairie's proposing to do the same situation. To do the same thing.
Conrad: Anything else on that? ,
Krauss: No. I'll keep you posted. I expect that this is not the end of
it. '
Conrad: I agree with what you're saying.
RURAL AREA DEVELOPMENT, 2 1/2 ACRE MINIMUM LOT SIZE. 1
Krauss: In some of the meetings I've been at in the last few months, in
talking to Metro Council staff, it became clear that the 2 1/2 acre rural II
lot size that we adhere to is no longer required by the Metro Council.
They do require that we maintain the 1 per 10 acre density zoning that
we've been enforcing since 1986 and I don't have a problem with that
frankly. I mean we discussed rural area development long enough that that"
1 per 10 zoning seems to make sense for future development for less impact
on agricultural areas and everything else. I was a little bit taken back
to find out that the Metro Council apparently changed their policy on this 11
2 1/2 acre zoning at the same time they were requiring us to adhere to it
in the Lake Ann agreement. Be that as it may, it's kind of water over the
dam and if in fact their policy is different today, I believe that we havell
the option of going with 1 acre lots in the rural'area. I asked our city
attorney about that. It's a little bit unusual because not only do you
have to consider an amendment to zoning ordinance but we actually have to II
have a contract amended between the City and the Metro Council, which is
the Lake Ann agreement. I asked Roger to prepare a contract amendment that
would take care of that and he's done that. I think this is kind of a two,
step process. I think we have to first know that we have the ability or
the flexibility to change the contract and either concurrently or after
that you have to consider whether or not you want to and what kind of
standards you might apply. I've discussed this with Commissioner Erhart II
and he rightfully points out that when you consider 1 acre lots relatively
to 2 1/2 acre lots, that other standards may be different as well. You may
II Planning Commission Meeting
. December 12, 1990 - Page 16
II want to look at different front yard setbacks, different sideyard, you know
those sorts of standards should be looked at comprehensively If you'd
II like us to follow up on this, I think the way in which to do it is to
direct us to ask the City Council to direct me to submit this contract
amendment to the Metro Council and first see if we can get the flexibility
II to take action. If you feel strongly enough about it. I guess we talked
about the 1 acre lots for a moment. I think you know, we've all been
through the process where we've seen first hand the difficulties we have .
with situations such as Timberwood and Sunridge Court and Lake Lucy
Highlands. That's not necessarily to mean that these are bad places to
live. I mean anything but. They're highly attractive environments but
what happens when you mandate a 2 1/2 acre standard, you chew up inordinate
II amounts of ground for very small gain. I mean 1 household on 2 1/2 acres.
Now if somebody truly wants a 2 1/2 acre lot, that's their right but we're
mandating that that's the minimum lot size right now and once we
I institutionalize that, you've seen the problems that we have when we need
to bring services around and through these areas because these people have
their own roads, their own on -site sewer and water and basically you're
faced with dead heading everything past them or assessing them for future
I benefit. It makes it difficult to develop comprehensive road systems. One
of the things that we'd like to look into, and I know Commissioner Erhart
raised this at a meeting, regional meeting with the Metro Council, is that
II when you come down to smaller lot sizes, the 1 acre lot sizes, you have the
potential to develop a community based on site sewage system. We have one
of those right now over by Minnewashta. Now I'm not aware if that one was
built correctly or not or functions properly or not but if we designed this
to a high standard, what you basically have is you have the system
terminating in a drainfieid and if one day we need to provide services, you
just cut out the drainfield and tap it into the sewer main that's the
II City's so I think it gives you a lot of flexibility to bring utilities in
in the future that we don't have in developments such as Timberwood. So I
guess from my point of view I would advocate that we do follow up and look
I further at these one acre lots and if you wish, we'll submit that contract
amendment to the Metro Council and see what they say. I have no idea how
they're going to receive this. I'm not even sure of the administrative
II procedure to go through at this point because Chanhassen was singled out
for some very unusual treatment with that agreement. But it's a contract
and like any other contract it can be changed.
I Conrad: Tim is the official rural expert. Do you feel comfortable looking
at the 1 acre lots?
I Erhart: Oh yeah. I think this is a real important thing given the
experience we've had here in the last year with the Comp Plan... I did
bring a copy of the...Met Council. I've been following this a little bit
and attended one of their meetings. The turn about is unbelieveable
II compared to what we were faced with back in 1985 or 1986 when we got first
involved with that. You know.statements like...agriculture preservation...
I think Paul's correct. The first step is to...long term goal, first step
II is to see if we can get the contract changed and then proceed to get as
much flexibility as we can and then go back and tailor this thing to what
our needs and desires are here.
II Conrad: Anybody with a different opinion?

Emmings: I agree completely.
Ellson: I do too and I like the idea of the community sewer thing too. 1
Emmings: This could be one of the most significant things we do for how
the southern part of the city develops and give us an opportunity to look
at whether or not we're interested in agricultural preservation...and also 11
the idea of clustering in this. I don't know to what extent we can use any
kind of cluster development. Maybe you can't. 1
Krauss: They do encourage cluster development but the context that's
referred to in that report that Tim's got, if you're out by a cornfield
in Young America someplace and they talk about clustering, if you've got
360 acres or old section or whatever it is. We can explore that further.
can ask them. I think, you know 1 acre relative to 2/1 2 acres, I mean
that's clustering in itself in that context. It may be preferable to do
them even tighter than that but you can't do them tighter than that 9 time
out of 10 if•you go with individual... -
Erhart: I think it's important to understand that their policy on that is"
a zoning policy. Other than that one contract, it doesn't really state how
we have to execute that policy. We really aren't required to follow their
approach and the fact that our approach is .more tailored to our situation I
with smaller parcels, I don't think anybody at Met Council objected to
that. To our approach.
Krauss: In terms of clustering? The 1 per 10? No, they don't.
Erhart: Their approach is more tailored to out in western Carver County. ..II
Krauss: Well one of the most significant things in that policy statement
though is they finally, for the first time, recognized situations that we
have really typlified in Chanhassen in that for the first time they came ull
with this transition area designation which we clearly are. I mean we're
surrounded on 4 sides by urban development. They recognize now that
there's some difference in the way you manage land that you expect at some
point to either go urban or be pressured to go urban than you do with prim
farmland if your primary motivation is long term preservation. You may
want to allow some residential development but that's the accessory use,
and it's a real major change for them. It's a very major departure.
Unfortunately they don't tell you very much about the transition area.
What the standards are going to be or anything else but at least they came
up with the idea. I did prepare written comments to the Metro Council on 11
that and basically gave them a pat on the back for doing that and I asked
them to try to develop some more definition for that area because we've had
problems with Metro Council on construction of TH 212 and TH 5 simply
because they went outside the MUSA line. They didn't recognize the fact II
that there was traffic on the roads anyway or the fact that Chanhassen was
likely to bring these areas into the MUSA line. That's the reason why TH 5
is ending at CR 17 in the improvements. That's the reason why Metro
Council staff was opposing the construction of 4 lane, 212 through
Chanhassen. They actually at one point advocated that it go from 4 lanes i
Eden Prairie to 2 lanes in Chanhassen at TH 101 and go back to 4 lanes
again in Chaska. Now presumably with the transition area recognition we'll'
have a lot better time of it.

Batzli: Why does the proposed amendment that Roger's drafted not include a
1 acre minimum? It just includes the 1 per 10 density.
Krauss: Well I think maybe we can define that further. Maybe we should.
You point out a good point. I think Roger just rewrote that paragraph
deleting the offending sentence.
Batzli: Would they accept it without any minimum lot size in there?
Krauss: Probably not.
Erhart: If you read this, they're advocating no restrictions on minimum
lot size whatsoever and suggesting performance standard. If they do, it
its referenced however that in good soils, and independent septic systems,
that 1 acre is probably the sensitive minimum site.
r Emmings: To get two septic sites.
Batzli: So realty on one acre they say you can get 2 sites.
Krauss: Well it depends on the soil. It really depends on the individual
situations. They've also asked communities to develop and adopt high
standards of design and inspection for on site sewers. Fortunately we did
that several years ago so we can go to them and say look, we've performed
and we'd like you to recognize that.
Erhart: They say in this...minimum lot size should be determined by
performance standards. Current Council indicate that the minimum should be
determined by the standard...
Conrad: Okay. How much time do you have to put, how much energy do you
need to put into something like this Paul?
1 Krauss: Beats me. I've never done it before. I don't know how they're
going to deal with it.
i Conrad: We tell you to do stuff and then yet we never know how it affects
other things you do. I think it's, I heard Steve say it was important to
him and Tim says it's important but I never know. Are we saying spend a
month of your life.
Krauss: Well clearly if it became a major problem. I'm going to work with
' you on this anyway. What I need to do is get this on the City Council
agenda because they're the ones that entered into the contract and get
their authorization to proceed. I'll shift it over to Carl Loren I believe
at the Metro Council and he and I can meet and discuss how we need to
proceed on this. If it's simply a matter of their attorney changing the
contract for them and changing it for the Council, that's great but I've
found that nothing's ever that simple at the Metro Council.
Emmings: A question. Let's say Timberwood, I'll use Timberwood as an
example where you've got a rural subdivision with 2 1/2 acres. If we
change the ordinance can those people come back in and subdivide?

Planning Commission Meeting • II

Krauss: They probably could. As a matter of fact Timberwood, Al
Klingelhutz has told me several times that Timberwood was designed to do
that.
Emmings: Yeah, and there's a lot of empty lots over there still so it'd be
very easy to do because nothing's built. That's something else we'll have
to take into consideration.
Krauss: But that is an implication. If you moved into a 2 1/2 acre lot II
neighborhood, would you be upset to find 1 acre lots next door?
Emmings: So there are covenants for the preservation as a whole that
prevent further subdivision?
Krauss: I doubt it.
Emmings: Is there anything like that?
Erhart: Timberwood has...
Olsen: I know when we were working with a couple of people who
specifically located their homes so it could be subdivided.
Batzli: We probably need a blending ordinance.
Conrad: Let's go, if we're all done on that issue, let's go back to the
one we started with earlier tonight. Tim, before you came in we had a lana�
owner present a map to shift our MUSA line. No, not necessarily our
MUSA line but a boundary for a potential one of our zones a little bit
south. I guess we should send some kind of signal. Paul, you weren't II
comfortable with moving it? I guess I, well I'll open it up. What's the
commission's pleasure on this one?
Ellson: I think if we had known this in the beginning. I think we ,
• arbitrarily have a line there and if we had known this in the beginning,
that could have just as easily have been the line as this one and I think
it sort of makes sense because I don't think people want to build right on
top of a pipeline. It just seems funny that we're going to take, well this
arbitrary one holds more weight than this one. I don't have a problem
necessarily moving it. I can understand the fact that we've already
presented it and that may be Steve's idea that if the proper thing comes i
or whatever but I have a hard time saying absolutely no because we didn't
have a real good reason for where it is.
Emmings: Well there was a little bit of a reason. It wasn't completely
arbitrary. ,
Ellson: No, but I'm saying if we knew this plus the fact that we thought
there was a couple little elms there would we have made the decision
different probably? That's my opinion. 1
Batzli: I guess I would feel more comfortable recommending that it be
moved south if our city people spoke with the William's Pipeline people
directly and knew that they would allow berming and plantings and things II
like that. Because if in fact they don't and this is just going to be an

REVISED li
PLANNING FOR ON -SITE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
IN THE RURAL AREA ,,,, , ,,
The Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 requires every local
The
government in the Seven - County Metropolitan Area to prepare a
comprehensive plan that includes a sewer policy plan.
II
The sewer policy plan must establish standards and conditions
under which the installation of private and public sewer systems
will be permitted, and identify areas that are not suitable for II
on -site sewage disposal systems.
This planning brief explains what'wxa.E communities with on -site 1
sewage systems have to include in their sewer policy plans. It
also tells how rural communities with areas identified as having
pollution problems resulting from on -site system failures can
II
go about correcting those problems.
In particular, this planning brief:
1. Reviews policies related to on -site systems that are II
contained in the Metropolitan Council's 208 Areawide
Plan /Development Guide for Water Quality Management. 1
2. Reviews on -site system guidelines contained in Procedure 10
of the Council's water quality plan. These guidelines must
be followed by local governments in preparing their sewer
plans.
3. Discusses the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's 201
I
Alternative Waste Management Study of rural areas,which
• identified on -site pollution problems.
4. Outlines the 201 grant process by which those rural II
communities identified as having pollution problems can
obtain funds to evaluate, design and construct alternative
waste treatment systems. 1
• 5. Discusses other funds available to construct municipal
collection systems. 1
In preparing their sewer plans, rural communities must also
adopt the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's regulation
II
WPC -40, which governs the design and installation of on -site
systems.
1 II
II
I ` The 201 grants process and planning under the Metropolitan
g P
Land Planning Act are to run concurrently. That is, a rural
1 community may be involved in the 201 grant process to correct
its pollution problems, but it is still responsible for
preparing a sewer plan along with the rest of its local
comprehensive plan. .
ON -SITE POLICIES
Rural communities should refer to Policy 44B of the Council's
water quality plan in preparing their, sewer plans. Policy 44B
contains four provisions regarding the use and overall admini-
stration of local on -site sewage systems. They are:
44B 1. COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURAL PORTIONS OF COMMUNITIES SHOULD
BE DESIGNATED AND BE PROTECTED THROUGH THEIR COMPRE-
HENSIVE PLANS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A MAXIMUM
DEVELOPMENT DENSITY OF ONE UNIT PER 40 ACRES BE
ESTABLISHED IN THE PLAN FOR COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURAL
LANDS. FOR THAT PORTION OF A CITY OR TOWNSHIP WHERE
THESE TWO CONDITIONS PREVAIL, WPC -40 SHOULD BE ADOPTED
AND FOLLOWED BUT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY TO INCLUDE
POST - INSTALLATION INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE IN THE
ON -SITE PROGRAMS.
C 2. GENERAL RURAL USE PORTIONS OF COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE
DESIGNATED AND PROTECTED THROUGH THEIR COMPREHENSIVE
PLANS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT
DENSITY OF ONE UNIT PER 10 ACRES BE ESTABLISHED IN THE
PLAN FOR GENERAL RURAL USE LANDS. FOR THAT PORTION OF
A CITY OR TOWNSHIP WHERE THESE TWO CONDITIONS PREVAIL,
WPC -40 SHOULD BE ADOPTED AND FOLLOWED BUT IT WILL NOT
BE NECESSARY TO INCLUDE POST - INSTALLATION INSPECTION
II • OR MAINTENANCE IN THE ON -SITE PROGRAMS.
3. IN ANY CITY OR TOWNSHIP WITH LANDS WHERE THE ALLOWABLE
DENSITY FOR CORCIAL AGRICULTURAL LAND IS BETWEEN
• ONE UNIT PER 5 ACRES AND ONE UNIT PER 40 ACRES AND
ALLOWABLE DENSITY FOR GENERAL RURAL USE LAND IS BETWEEN
ONE UNIT PER 5 ACRES AND ONE UNIT PER 10 ACRES, THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL BE EXPECTED TO ADDRESS EACH OF
THE ON -SITE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES. IF THE CITY OR
TOWNSHIP BELIEVES THAT IT IS UNNECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT
ONE OR MORE OF THE GUIDELINES, THERE SHOULD BE SUBSTAN-
TIATION THAT NONIMPLEMENTATION WILL NOT AVERSELY IMPACT
PUBLIC HEALTH, GROUNDWATER QUALITY AND /OR METROPOLITAN
SYSTEMS.
' 4. ANY CITY OR TOWNSHIP THAT ALLOWS ON -SITE SYSTEMS TO BE
USED IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT EXCEED ONE UNIT PER 5
ACRES WILL BE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE ALL ELEMENTS OF THE
1 ( ON -SITE SYSTEM GUIDELINES IN ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
(SEWER POLICY ELEMENT).

•
PROCEDURE 10 REQUIREMENTS
The Council's water quality plan also states that local sewer
plans should contain ordinances and administrative and enforce-
ment procedures that would adequately ensure trouble -free
on -site sewage disposal in rural communities. 1
To accomplish this, the water quality plan directs local
governments to follow requirements listed in Section e of
Procedure 10- -Local Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan. The
requirements are:
1. On -site system plans and ordinances shall contain
appropriate design; composition, construction, location,
siting and use requirements relating to all standard
and /or alternative systems that may be installed.
1.1 Alternative Systems. On -site system ordinances that
permit the use of alternative systems shall contain
specific standards applicable to such permitted
I/
alternative systems.
1.2 On -site system plans and ordinances should generally
prohibit the installation of standard on -site systems
in:
a) Areas where problems are likely to occur because of
soil constraints or other geologic or hydrologic
characteristics;
b) Low swampy areas or areas subject to recurrent '
flooding;
c) Areas where the highest known groundwater table,
bedrock or impervious soil conditions are within
three feet of the bottom of a system.
2. On -site system ordinances shall contain application and ,
review procedures and requirements for the issuance of
on -site system permits. Such requirements should provide
for the receipt of a permit to install an on -site system
prior to, or in conjunction with, the issuance of a
building permit. Application and installation require-
ments should provide for the transmission of adequate
system and site information and a review procedure to
ensure compliance with the ordinance.
2.1 Ordinances shall require that applications contain a
description of the site's characteristics, including
a soils and subsurface evaluation based on borings,
percolation tests, and a description of the proposed
system.
3
•
1
2.2 Subdivision (or other) ordinances should provide for the
approval of preliminary plats only following a deter-
mination that the soils in the platted area are generally
suitable for the installation of on -site systems
consistent with the on -site system ordinance requirements.
2.3 Separate site testing should be performed in connection
with all on -site system applications. On -site system
ordinances should contain installation, inspection and
acceptance procedures that require that all new installa-
tions, modifications or repairs be inspected and approved
prior to covering the system. Final system approval should
be given only where a system has been installed consistent
with the ordinance requirements and any specific conditions
contained in the installation permit.
3. Local units of government should adopt on -site system
ordinances and controls that contain inspection and
maintenance requirements where necessary and consistent
with Policy 44, and should help to ensure that system
owners receive appropriate education and technical
assistance with system operation and maintenance.
3.1 Inspection. On -site systems should be inspected on a
regular basis, where necessary and consistent with Policy 44.
I Inspection should check the sludge and scum accumulation
C in a septic tank or appropriate equivalent, if any, in an
alternative system. Inspection should occur no less than
,_1 biannually.
3.2 Maintenance. Where necessary and consistent with Policy 44
and procedure 3.1, local governments should require
maintenance of a septic tank when inspection reveals that
sludge reaches a point 12 inches below the bottom of the
outlet baffle and /or the scum reaches a point 3 inches
above the bottom of the outlet baffle. Maintenance
requirements for alternative systems should be established
in the ordinance or at the time of installation permit
approval.
4. Recordkeeping. All local programs should rovide for
recordkeeping relating to the design and location of new
and /or renovated on -site systems. System owners or their
agents should be required to submit a final description of
the system as installed to the local government. The
description should include such information as: site address;
location and layout of system on the site; type, size and
design of system installed; type of building served; and
results of the site suitability analysis (percolation test
and /or soil borings).
5. Remedial Action. Programs should include measures to
I identify the location of systems creating nuisances and /or
endangering public health and /or endangering the safety of
4
1
1
any domestic water supply, and /or polluting or contaminating Z-
any water of the state.
5.1 The local on -site system ordinance should include provisions
for correcting, replacing or terminating the use of any
system identified in 5 above.
5.2 Ordinances should require that existing systems comply with 1
the new on -site system standards in situations where work
other than maintenance is being proposed for an existing
system.
6. Authorized Metropolitan Area counties and /or local units of
government should collectively and cooperatively establish
programs and standards for licensing system installers,
pumpers, haulers,site evaluators and maintainers operating
within their jurisdiction. Licenses shall be issued only
to those who meet training and knowledge requirements as
evidenced by the satisfactory completion of a certification
program.
6.1 Consistent with Policy' 44, programs and controls should
establish appropriate requirements and measures applicable
to installers, pumpers and haulers which ensure satisfactory
performance, liability coverage and compliance with local
ordinances.
6.2 Consistent with Policy 44, work records should be obtained
on a regular basis by each local unit of government from
licensed pumpers, haulers and maintenance operators regarding
their activities in the local jurisdiction as a condition of
licensing. 1
7. Local on -site systems management and control programs shall
be adequately staffed and funded. Administrative powers,
responsibilities and rights shall be specified in local 1
ordinances.
7.1 Administrative powers which should be specified in ordinances 1
include those relating to: performance of investigatory
review, site inspection, permit analysis, inspection, and
the issuance of orders relating to enforcement activities. 1
The table on page 6 indicates the on -site system guidelines local
governments should use in preparing their sewer plans.
201 STUDY
The Council's water quality plan directs the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission (MWCC) to examine rural housing clusters
using on -site systems to determine if pollution problems exist,
and to recommend alternative ways of managing those problems.
In addition, the plan directs each municipality with housing

clusters having pollution problems to address those problems in
its sewer plan, and to specify in detail how its regulatory
IF
systems for on -site sewage disposal will be implemented and
enforced.
During the 201 Alternative Waste Management Study, the MWCC 1
attempted to identify the location and severity of on -site
pollution problems by contacting rural municipalities, the Soil
Conservation Service, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA), the State Health Department and other pertinent sources.
In July, the MWCC notified rural municipalities of those
residential areas identified as having pollution problems.
The MWCC also recommended to those municipalities a number of
alternatives for handling the problems, and cost ranges of each
alternative. (See map for municipalities identified in 201 study.)
The results of the 201 study were sent concurrently to the m
which placed the areas of communities with o
list of municipal pollution problems on a
p projects that are eligible for state and
federal funding. The,MPCA and the MWCC can add to that list if
and when pollution problems become evident in other areas.
Communities on the municipal projects list be notified by 1
the MPCA when they may proceed through the 201 grant process
to correct their pollution problems.
201 GRANT PROCESS
!!
There are three steps in the 201 grant process.
Step I
In Step I, a rural community should apply to the MPCA for funds to 1
conduct a detailed evaluation and financial analysis of each
alternative recommended by the MWCC.
Step 1 201 funding is provided 75 percent from the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA), 15 percent from the MPCA, and
10 percent from the rural community.
Upon receiving Step Z funding, a community hould evaluate
then select one or more of the alternative systems recommended
by the MWCC. A municipality may also choose to evaluate alterna-
tives that were not recommended by the MWCC. Those alternatives
must be similarly studied, and must be demonstrated to be cost
effective and environmentally sound.
•
Once a rural community has chosen an alternative solution, and
the MPCA has determined that the alternative is appropriate,
the community should proceed to Step II of the 201 grant process.
Step II
In Step II, a rural community should apply for funds for the
design and specifications of the alternative system selected
in Step I. 1

1. If a conventional waste management system is proposed, Y P P 75
percent funding is available from the EPA and 15 percent
from the MPCA. Ten percent must be paid by the rural

2. If an alternative and /or innovative system is proposed, 85
percent funding is available from the EPA,and nine percent
from the MPCA. Six percent must be funded by the rural
community.
When Step II is completed, a community should proceed to Step III.
•
Step III
In Step III, a community should apply for funds for t
Pp y or the construc-
tion of the proposed waste treatment facility.
Step III funding is provided in the following manner:
1. If a conventional waste management system is proposed, 75
percent funding is available from the EPA and 15 percent
from the MPCA. Ten percent must be paid by the rural
community.
2. If an alternative and /or innovative system is proposed, 85
!!
percent funding is available from the EPA, and nine percent
from the MPCA. Six percent must be funded by the rural '
community.
When construction is completed, the facility will be owned and
operated by the rural community. It will not be considered
part of the metropolitan waste management system.
OTHER FUNDS AVAILABLE 1
The 201 grants are available to fund the evaluation, design and
specifications, and construction of waate ticeatnnent ayatens. The
Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) also has funds available for t
communities that need to build conventional local municipal
collection systems in addition to waste treatment facilities.
The FmHA provides grants and long -term low interest (five percent)
loans. Eligible municipalities may receive loans for up to
100 percent of the construction costs of a collection system,
or grants for up to 50 percent of the costs. A grant and a loan
could be combined to cover the total construction costs.
Eligibility for the FmHA grants or loans will be determined by
the income level of a city's population, the indebtedness of a
city, and the cost of a proposed local municipal collection
system. 1
9 1

C
A community using FmHA funds to construct a local collection
system would then be responsible for funding its alternative
waste treatment facility with local dollars.
