However, the guest house was allowed to be connected <br /> into the existing system on the basis that such use would be <br /> minimal. The City did require that an alternate drainfield site <br /> be tested and verified on the property should the existing system <br /> fail. <br /> Now, with expansion of the existing house, we must require that <br /> the system be upgraded to handle a fourth bedroom. Because soil <br /> testing completed by the applicant's engineer, Mark Gronberg, <br /> last summer indicated the necessity of a mound type drainfield <br /> system, mere expansion of the existing drainfield system is not <br /> an option. Absent any other proposals you may wish us to <br /> consider (such as omitting the fourth bedroom) , the City must now <br /> require that a completely new septic system be provided for the <br /> main house on the property, leaving the guest house connected to <br /> the old septic system. <br /> BUILDING&ZONING-473-7357 • ADMINISTRATION&FINANCE-473-7358 • PUBLIC WORKS-473-7359 <br /> ASSESSING FAX-473-0510 <br />
