Re: Request for Variances to Install Septic System Holding Tank
The proposed location for the holding tank is as close as possible to the neighbor (
Johnson ) as it can be placed. It is also very close to the railroad right of way and the
access road. Does the proposed system produce noise and require water to operate?
The Sundberg property consists of 2 or more acres to the north. Might there be a
better location for a workable system?
All of the properties on this section of the river are very wet and only accessible when
the road is open ( approximately 6 months ). All but one property has had drainage
tiles installed which are helpful to some degree but due to the nature of water
movement, changes in streams/water sources which flow toward the St. Croix there
are constant changes.
Does this need to be taken into consideration?
This is a very fragile area and until electricity was put in less than a year ago was
basically undisturbed. When considering requests of this nature please consider/use
best judgment when approving requests of this nature. What type of system would
cause the least impact on the area, the river, and surrounding properties.
Thank you, Sue Lundgren
