Miller, French Creek Homeowners Association - April 25, <br />2002) <br />C Site Plan <br />D Plat Map <br />Review of Request <br />The French Creek Homeowners Association has requested to install a 1.650 gallon holding tank <br />on a commonly owned private recreation lot that was created w ithin the Plat of French Creek. <br />Installation of holding tanks in the City requires Council approval. The recreation lot contains 2 <br />tennis courts and an enclosed ga/ebo building. The ga^rebo was initially plumbed for installation <br />of a toilet and sink when the building was constructed in 1986. <br />The common lot is located at the south end of the French Creek neighborhood. The Committee <br />Chair, Mr. Miller, has stated he is the nearest neighbor to the building and on behalf of the <br />Homeowners Association recognizes the need to provide bathroom facilities on the property. The <br />lots located at the north end of French Creek are located about 1000’ from the tennis court lot. <br />French Creek has proposed to install a holding tank rather than a septic system for several <br />reasons. A complete septic system including tanks and a drainfield site may not be necessary^ to <br />.handle the anticipated use of the building as it is only intended to be one toilet and one shower. <br />The building is not heated and the plumbing use of the lot would be from April IS - October IS. <br />Locating a drainfield site may be difficult due to limited undisturbed land available on the site. <br />Matt Bolterman, On-Site Systems Manager for the City, has no objection to the use of a holding <br />tank based on the anticipated limited use of the gazebo building. Mr. Bohemian did recommend <br />the neighborhood have the tank monitored and pumped regularly. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to adopt the attached resolution approving installation of a l,6S0 gallon holding tank on <br />Outlot A, French Creek for seasonal use with one toilet and one sink.
