1.1. J .• i / I • •# EXHIBIT 7 #5 TO:Jeanne Mabuath, Zoning Administrator FROM:Michael Gaffron, Septic System Inspector DATE: August 6, 1979 SUBJECT: Jerry Gustafson, 200 Bederwood Road Septic System Reconstruction In August, 1978, Mr. Gustafson called in and said he would like to add on to his existing dralnfleld system as mainly a precautionary measure. During my site inspection, I noted that the ground was fairly low and at that time required that a qualified person do a soil boring to determine soil types and depth to the water table. The boring log subsequently indicated that due to high ^Sfonn'a and generally clay soils a mound system was in order. Vk. Gustafson s contractor submitted a design which was approved by myself and verbally by the City engineer. Work was to commence in the Spring of 1979 after proper license and permit were obtained. I did verbally allow Mr. Gustafson to bring in sand fill for the system in the Fall of 1978 before a permit was issued. In Spring 1979, Mr. Gustafson brought in plans for a structural addition to his basement, presumably for a pump pit and added laundry area. As in all addition permit applications, a suwey was required. The survey showed that the existing house and proposed addition encroach upon the zoning setbacks. Mr. Gustafson is applying for a variance to allow the structural addition. In my opinion, successful completion of Mr. Gustafson's mo^d sewage system does not depend upon the proposed addition becoming a reality. The pump or pumps required in the system can be installed and Mde operable without the addition. Therefore, I would suggest that the addition ba reviewed based on Its own merits rather than as an integral and necessary component of the septic system. ITS i»t> rv,j f m I s
