Todd Zlesmer - 3440 Bayside Road July 25, 1988 Page 2 of 3 Baaed on the above information, the City would allow a new house to be connected to the existing system only under the following conditional 1. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the new house, owner must provide a full site evaluation and design for a new conforming septic system, both primary and alternate drainfield sites, in order to confirm the suitability of the lot for permanent usage of septic systems should sewers never become a reality. 2. The interim period during which the existing system could be used is defined as followst a) Maximum of 18 months from date of occupancy, renewable after that on a 6 month periodical basis only if a Council decision to install municipal sewers appears to be shortly forthcoming. b) Should the existing system fail prior to a decision on sewer installation, the system must be replaced with a totally conforming system. c) Likewise, if a decision to not make sewer available to the property is forthcoming, the system must be replaced with a fully conforming system within 6 months of the Council decision, regardless whether the existing system is functioning adequately. d) If sewer becomes available, the property must be connected to it as soon as it becomes available. e) At any time during the interim period, if the house is sold the system must be replaced with a totally conforming system. This approval Is not transferable to a new owner. 3. The City is in no way certifying that the existing system is capable of functioning acceptably during the interim period. The property oimer bears the responsibility for maintaining the system so it does not become a health or safety hazard, nor a public nuisance. A contractual agreement would have to be signed by you, agreeing to the above conditions before a building permit would be issued. This would be filed in the chain of title of the property.
