Public Notice
The City Council of the City of Medina has adopted Ordinance No. 296. The ordinance
codifies changes in state law regarding individual sewage treatment systems. The distinction currently
made in the city's ordinances between conventional (trench) and innovative (mound) systems has been
eliminated. Both trench and mound systems are now classified under state law as standard systems.
The amendment brings the city's ordinance into compliance with this provision. The amendment also
provides that a minimum of five contiguous acres of acceptable soil is necessary for installation of a
standard sewage treatment system. Beginning on July 1, 1999, no more two acre lots will be created
within the city. Existing two acre lots as of that date will be "grandfathered" under the amended
ordinance. Additional changes will be made in the city's Individual Sewage Treatment and Disposal
Systems ordinance in the future for purposes of consistency with state law and this ordinance
amendment. A copy of the full ordinance is available at city hall ihe city clerk and is
available for review during regular business hours.
