Zoning File #1821 May 10. 1993 Page 4 Septic Please review Exhibit I, the on-site evaluator who completed the septic testing for the original 1990 subdivision review clearly noted that a future well must be located to the south in order to meet 75 ’ required separation setback from drainfield to well. Unfortunately, both applicants and well inspector from the Suite Health Department failed to heed the City’s separation requirements. The well has been located to meet the State’s 50 ’ separation setback from the principal septic system. Review Exhibit J. the alternate septic drainfield has been negated as it is located 40’ from the well and would not meet even the State’s separation setback requirement. The future owner of Lot 1 must be placed on notice that if the alternate site is to be utilized at some future date that a new well would have to be also installed meeting the 75 ’ separation setback. The on-site septic evaluator must also provide confirmation that Lot 2 will support a 5-bedroom septic system. It is also recommended that prior to any driveway construction or land alterations associated with the development of Lot 2 that the on-site septic test areas be staked and protected before land alterations take place.
