Jenson stated upon further review of this application, Staff has discovered that the secondary septic site is located between the home and the current septic system site. The Septic Code requires all structures to be located at least 20 feet from the septic site. The pool in its proposed location does not meet the required 20 feet and would need approval from the City’s septic inspector. Staff is not in favor of a reduced setback for the septic, but would be In favor of the Applicants identifying a secondary septic site that meets the required setbacks elsewhere on the let. Piepho stated they are attempting to comply with the City Codes as much as possible. Kluth inquired whether an alternate septic site could be located on the property. Pi-pho stated that there is a possible area in the front and that they would be willing to relocate the pool two feet further from the property line. Jenson suggested that approval be subject to submittal of documentation verifying an alternative septic site. Lindquist stated he would be willing to approve the average lakeshore setback but no other variances. There were no public comments. Smith commented that the pool should not encroach on any easements or secondary septic site.
