VARIANCE WORKSHEET

Enter Variance information. About SSTS Variances Pursuant to Ordinance 61, Article V, Section 3.0 A property owner may request a variance from the standards specified in the Ordinance pursuant to county policies and procedures. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Ordinance where there are practical difficulties or particular hardship in meeting the strict letter of this Ordinance, excluding the technical standards. Certain deviations may require the approval of the MPCA or the MN Department of Health.
 
 Describe the specific provision(s) in the ordinance from which the variance is requested.
 
Field is required.The applicant is requesting relief from the required 150' setback for a natural environment lake. Instead, the applicant is requesting a 45' setback for septic components to the ordinary high water mark.
 Describe the practical difficulty that prevents compliance with the rule.
 
Field is required.The current structure sits on a peninsula that is less than 300' wide, making it impossible to place anything on the peninsula without a variance. In order to meet the setback, a tank would need to be located over 240' from the existing structure, and would require significant tree removal and road building to get a tank into this location
 Describe the alternative measures that will be taken to achieve a comparable degree of compliance with the purposes and intent of the applicable provisions.
 
The tank will be the only component that is within the 150' setback. The mound itself will be outside of the setback. The tank will be buried on the far side of the existing driveway, so only the inspection pipes and alarm pedestal will be visible. It will be replacing a system that currently uses drywells, which are no longer allowed in the state on shoreland property.
 Identify cost considerations preventing reasonable use of the property under the terms of this ordinance
 
Field is required.The other option would be to install multiple grinder pumps in basins that are under 100 gallons. This would add significant cost in pumps, wiring, and a need for an upsized septic tank. They also have an increased risk of freezing in the winter, and require more maintenance than a standard system. Otherwise, all pressurized water would need to be removed from the structure, significantly decreasing the value of the property.
