CASE NO PROPERTY APPEALED APPELLANT
60-94E 2119 Skyway Drive Tom Aimond
Council Ward: 7
Single Family Dwelling
SIJBJECT: Appellant is appealing an order to change an individual sewage treatment
system.
PROCEEDINGS: This appeal was laid over from the November Meeting. Testimony and
presentation was presented by Mr. Dimond. He distributed State and City codes regarding
the definition of failing sewage systems and stated that according to the legislation, his
sewage treatment system dces not meet the definition of a failing system and is therefore
requesting a variance for his system. Peter Kishel and Doug Schwab represented the City
and discussed the public health hazard if this system was allowed to remain. There was
much discussion and concern about conforming systems. The Board commented that both
sides failed to educate the Board about sewage treatment systems, which was the reason why
this was laid over for a months time. The Boards main concern is setting a precedence due
to the fact that there may be a possible 300 more orders issued on existing sewage treatment
systems. Discussion continued about granting an extension of time and the possibility of City
sewer being brought into this neighborhood and that the cost of bringing Mr. Dimond's
system to code now may not be realistic if City sewer was installed in the near future.
BOARD ACTION: Motion was made by Laughlin to grant an extension until January 1,
1997 and if at that time Mr. Dimond wishes to again appear before the board, he must have
substantial data to prove non-contamination of the existing area. Seconded by Weida.
Motion carried unanimously.

PROCEEDINGS: Peter Warner from the City Attorney Office presented testimony
regarding the cunent status of this appeal that was originally before this Board in Fall of

through the court system; that Mr. Scibora should return before this Board for a resolution
for disconnection of rainleaders. Mr. Scibora has agreed to disconnect rainleaders two and
three, and is requesting a variance for rainleader one due to the fact that if it is disconnected
it wili substantially add to an already existing erosion problem on a bank that is extremely
steep. Mr. Scibora discussed the cost of cantrolling the erosion, that no contractor will
touch it and that there is a possibility of insurance being denied because of the liability of the
erosion and the hazards it creates. Testimony was presented by Karl Johnson and the options
available to Mr. Scibora to disconnect this rainleader. The City feels that what is being

Board of Appeals - December 8, 1994
Page: 5
SUBJECT: Appellant is before the Board regarding a Ra.inleader disconnect.
PROCEEDINGS: Peter Warner from the City Attorney Office presented testimony
regazding the cunent status of this appeal that was originally before this Boazd in Fall of
1993 and was denied at that rime. At a pre-trail hearing before the Ramsey County District
Court it was decided that the City should try to solve this administraflvely and not proceed
through the court system; that Mr. Scibora should return before this Boazd for a resoludon
for disconnection of rainleaders. Mr. Scibora has agreed to disconnect rainleaders two and
three, and is requesting a variance for rainleader one due to the fact that if it is disconnected
it will substantially add to an already exisfing erosion problem on a bank that is extremely
steep. Mr. Scibora discussed the cost of controlling the erosion, that no contractor will
touch it and that there is a possibility of insurance being denied because of the liability of the
erosion and the hazards it creates. Testimony was presented by Karl 3ohnson and the options
available to Mr. Scibora to disconnect this rainleader. The City feels that what is being
requested is not impossible and would not be in favor of grandng a variance for rainleader
one. Discussion continued between the Board Members, Mr. Scibora, his attorney Mr.
Mounihan and City Staff regarding costs, possible opflons and erosion.
BOARD ACTION: Motion made by Weida to deny the request for a variance.
PROCEEDINGS: Conversation among the participants continued again reiterating the above
facts and liability issues.
BOARD ACTION: Mo6on made by Weida to deny the request for a variance on rainleader
one but to grant an extension until September 1, 1995 to disconnect the rainleader. Seconded
by Dunn. Motion carried. 3 Yeas, 2 Naes.
