This repair would include additional <br />drainfield trenches as an extension of the existing system, <br />although soil conditions indicate that a mound type drainfield <br />system v/ould be most appropriate for this site. Because <br />installation of municipal sewer is anticipated in this area <br />within the next tv;o years, the less costly trench system as an <br />interim repair is appropriate. <br />Applicant has submitted an updated survey and scale plans, ana <br />has indicated the location of the proposed addition. The <br />proposed rear setback based on the plan submitted is 27.1 feet <br />not 29 feet as originally indicated. Side setback will remain at <br />12 feet as proposed. The house to garage setback will be nil if <br />the house is attached to that garage. Applicant has constructed <br />footings underneath that garage, hence attachment of the two <br />structures is feasible and is recommended by staff. <br />The 12 foot side setback continues the line of the existing <br />house. The neighboring house to the south is more than 60 feet <br />away, hence the encroachment on light, air or open space in the <br />neighborhood is insignificant. Applicant has been unable to <br />purchase the property behind him. Staff would note that because <br />of the steepness of the slopes, it is unlikely that a house would <br />be located directly behind him at any time in the future, if he <br />was never able t<~ purchase the property. Staff would recommend
