Gaffron stated that the <br />real concern is when the house is sold and an eight member <br />family could move in and this could have a major impact on the <br />septic system. <br />Taylor asked how many bathrooms the house would have after <br />the proposed construction is finished. <br />James Bigham stated that there is 1 full bathroom with 2 1/2 <br />bathrooms existing now and they are proposing one additional <br />full bathroom with another half bathroom.
