Consider Variance from V.C.M.C section 16-01-06(4), Sanitary Sewer Requirement for New Subdivisions.
City Attorney Martineck stated essentially it was Joel Quanbeck’s finding that there was not a hardship that would qualify under municipal code that would grant the variance however based ion this being a single family lot and the distance from the house to the sewer line being 650 feet the PZ Commission voted to recommend granting the variance as long as the Tvedts entered into a developers agreement so if there is any further development closer to their residence they would have to hook up to the sewer at that time.
Commissioner Bishop moved to approve with the following stipulations:
If the sewer moves closer, they have to hook up
If there’s further development of that area they have to hook up and
If their system fails, they have to hook up
seconded by Commissioner Magnuson. Motion passed unanimously.

City Attorney Martineck stated it was added to the agenda more so to decide how the city would proceed.
