Y, <br />Zoning File #1745 <br />620 Big Island-Septic Issues <br />Page 4 <br />If, in fact, the previously proposed septic easement <br />situation could come to fruition, that would be the best of all <br />^ worlds in many respects for both Pegelow and Carlson. They would <br />share in the cost of a system that is used on a minimal basis (I <br />am presuming that Mr. Pegelow does not spend the full year at his <br />cabin, although I note it is homesteaded property). <br />If the Council was to grant approval for Mr. Carlson to have <br />holding tank, the following conditions of approval should be <br />considered: <br />Holding tank must be protected from flotation. <br />The cabin may never be granted a conditional use permit for <br />greater than 180 day residence per year. <br />A current pumping contract must be maintained and kept on <br />file at the City. <br />Yearly inspections should be required, property owner to <br />provide transportation for City Inspector. <br />Any single confirmed incident of holding tank overflow or <br />unlawful discharge will result in the immediate revocation <br />of further approval for use of that system, and the system <br />would have to be eliminated and plumbing removed from the <br />building. <br />Outhouses and sewage treatment systems using soil disposal <br />units (drainfields) should continue to be acceptable sewage <br />treatment devices for the seasonal type use historically found on <br />Big Island. These systems under such minimal usage require <br />almost no maintenance. A holding tank on the other hand requires <br />diligent monitoring and maintenance, at an usually high expense, <br />and has a high potential for becoming a nuisance. <br />Isv <br />.1*: <br />■ ■ <br />■ -mm <br />*. s' I. •t;/.-*. <br />'v ;■■■; <br />Ife . . <br />ll^ii <br />tv <br />; <br />‘V <br />-v3 <br />• ^ <br />'3 <br />"a <br />i <br />-.V <br />■'r <br />■I ■
