PROCEEDINGS: This appeal was laid over from the Novembez 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.

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 concem 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.

At a pre-trail hearing before the Ramsey County District Court it was decided that the City should try to solve this administratively and not proceed through the court system; that Mr. Scibora should retum 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 at will substantially add to an already existing 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 granting a variance for rainleader one. Discussion continued between the Board Members, Mr. Scibora, his attorney Mr. Mounihan and City Staff regarding costs, possible options 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.
