Council record includes Ordinance 2025 to amend platting and septic rules
Summary
Ordinance 2025 in the meeting record proposes raising minimum residential lot sizes to 29,500 sq. ft. above the 100-year flood contour, removes a communal septic utility section and updates private disposal permit language; the ordinance text and passage language appear in the record.
The meeting record includes the text of Ordinance 2025, which amends Ordinance 45 (Platting and Subdivision Regulations) to change livability and septic-related provisions. The ordinance text states, "All residential lots shall contain at least 29,500 square feet of land which lies above the 100-year flood/high water contour," and removes a previously listed communal septic utility policy.
The ordinance also revises private disposal permit language to reference the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency permit form and deletes several subdivisions of the prior ordinance. The transcript record includes passage language; the ordinance text in the packet shows the city updating local platting standards and ISTS (individual sewage treatment system) permit provisions. The minutes do not record a line-by-line debate on the ordinance in this meeting beyond including the text and passage language in the record.
