TO: FROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Asst. Zoning Administrator Michael P. Gaffron, Septic Inspector DATE:May 15, 1979 SUBJECT:Septic System Site Evaluation 365 North Willow Drive - #437 George Osgood LOT 1 Existing house - septic system for the existing house has been inspected and needs only an inspection pipe installed in the second tank. The system is causing no visible problems and would appear to be entirely located within Lot 1. There appears to be ample room on the lot for future drainfield as necessary. LOT 2 i 1 Water table and percolation rates indicate a standard system will be acceptable for both primary and secondary areas on the lot. LOT 3 This large lot is combined with the formerly proposed Lot 4 due to poor soil conditions on Lot 4. A standard system will be acceptable for the primary system on Lot 3 and shallow trenches for the secondary. Note that both here and on Lot 2 the water table depth limits the suitable area for a gravlty*flow system and house placement may require use of a pump in the system. Please note that certain lots of the adjacent Woodhaven Subdivision to the immediate south of the Osgood property were approved by the City Engineer for mound septic systems in 1977. Testing on these lots found water table depths ranging from 12" - 17" much as were found on the previously proposed Lot 4 of Osgood's subdivision. Our present code states that a mound system generally is prohibited in any area where seasonal water table is not at least 2' below the surface. Development on the remaining Woodhaven lots will be carefully supervised by the City to ensure that ad quate sewage treatment systems are designed and constructed properly. Since these Woodhaven lots were approved prior to our On-Site Code, it appears we are probably locked into allowing them as buildable sites. \/•
