Work was done on an existing berm on the <br />west and at existing grade on the east. There were no deviations. Mabusth said that the <br />berm was partially completed. <br />Mabusth said that the primary and ahemate septic sites force drainage to imme^te rear <br />ofresidence. It was noted that the ground was wet in the back yard. ThcEngineer <br />recommended constniction of a swale to the rear by the house that would carry drainage <br />from east to west. The applicant said there was enough elevation for proper drainage via <br />the swale. <br />Mabusth asked the applicant if he thought about a swale between the lots, draining to the <br />south and direct drainage out to Countryside. The applicam agreed saying the the hifl <br />carries m^or drainage from higher devations at east. <br />Mabusth reported that the septic b a mound system, and there is a need to direct drainage <br />away from the toes of the mounds. <br />Peterson asked how the berm by the City trail along Watenown Ro^ impacU the <br />drainage. The Applicant said the berm would have i» impact «i traU. Mabusth said the <br />berm preseitts problems for the septic system sites and concentrates drainage via lot 1 to <br />the immediate rear of residence. <br />Lindquist asked if tim plan would meet the 2V septic setba ck. The Applicant replied that <br />it would when amended. Lineham also said that he was working with Steve Weckman, <br />who approved the mound system, and asked to see Weckman on the site rather than <br />through addhional paper work. Mabusth said that the bsue was of such great importance <br />that it cannot be worked out on site only. Smith responded that it was needed to be on <br />paper first. <br />Peterson said he had no problem with the berm as long as it did not affect the drainage <br />system to which Mabusth agreed. Peterson saw the iswe as one of engineering and <br />grading being worked out with the developer and Weckman. Mabusth said the Engineer <br />has recommended that a swale be develop^ to rear of residence and/or along sh^ lot <br />lines of 1 and 2 or a combination of both. Nolan noted the importance of maintaiiui^ a <br />20’ septic separation with site drainage on the shared lines or directii^ away from it.
