Ayes 4, <br />nays 0. <br />( * #12) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW AN EXTENDED TIME PERIOD OF <br />HOOKUP TO THE NEW STUBBS BAY SEWER SYSTEM - <br />ORDINANCE #105, SECOND SERIES <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Butler, to remove this item <br />from the consent agenda. Ayes 4, nays 0. <br />Callahan thought that Council had decided that if a connection to <br />the sewer was deemed necessary under the standards of the City, a <br />property would be made to do so. He noted the ordinance proposed <br />allows five years to all properties. <br />Goetten thought it was decided that if a problem were found with <br />the existing system, the property must be immediately connected to <br />the sewer. <br />Gaffron explained that if each existing system were examined more <br />closely, the City would find up to 95% of the existing trench <br />systems do not meet current standards for separation from mottling, <br />and therefore would be considered as non - conforming. He noted that <br />requiring 16 month connection deadlines for 95% of the Stubbs Bay <br />properties was not his impression of Council's intent at the public <br />hearing. <br />Butler said that if the system is failing to the point that a <br />holding tank is necessary or effluent is discharging, the property <br />must be connected immediately. <br />Callahan felt that the situation in the Stubbs Bay area is a bad <br />situation and the soil is being bothered by this situation. He <br />wants those residents to hook up as soon'as possible. <br />Jabbour noted that at the last meeting, Council left the <br />determination of the need to hook up to the sole discretion of <br />staff. <br />Gaffron noted that with the new shore Iand regulations adopted, many <br />more systems wily be found to be non- conforming. He said when a <br />permit or variance is requested, staff looks at the system for <br />conformance. <br />Callahan thought the Septic Inspector was hired to go house -to- <br />house to inspect existing systems. <br />10 <br />
