p TO;Jeanne A. Mabusth, Planning and Zoning Administrator FROM:Stephen Weckman, On-Site Systems Manager DATE:January 10, 1997 SUBJECT: Septic Review for Application #2204, Fullerton Estates - Subdivision The proposed five lot subdivision includes four existing septic systems. All of the existing septic systems are non-compliant (failing) due to the lack of three foot separation between the drainfield and the seasonal water table. Although none are an eminent health hazard currently, each of them must be replaced at this time or be properly abandoned. For this reason each of the new lots has both primary and alternate drainfield sites located on them. The existing septic systems serve 3350 Fox St., 3400 Fox St., the caretaker residence, and the garage facility. All proposed septic systems meet City and State standards. The drainfield sites are designed for five bedroom residences on lots 1, 2, and 5, while lots 3 and 4 have eight bedroom designs to accommodate the large existing main residences and a caretaker residence. The drainfield sites on lots 1,2 , and 5 must all be fenced off prior to any grading or land alteration due to their proximity to the access road. Also, the driveway for each of these lots will pass 20 feet from many of the drainfield sites, so the sites must be accurately fenced to protect them from damage. Based on the above information, staff recomends approval of the application. The applicant should note that the 20 foot setback between the drainfield areas and the driveway must be maintained. i
