The proposed ordinance is based on che Council motion, the discussion held May 18th, and staff's interpretation of Council's goal in extending the connection period. |if One factor perhaps not made clear in the May discussions is that ife would likely find that most of the existing trench drainfields (which account for probably 90% of the project area) would be classified "non-conforming" if soil borings w«re done to verify the depth to mottling. Certainly, it was not Council's intent that only 10% of the residences in the project area be allowed the five year connection period. Therefore, the ordinance has been drafted such that those systems found to be non-conforsdlng only due to their lack of separation from settling nones, will only have to connect if our determination of that non-oonformity results from an inspection triggered by a building perait or variance application (as required by the Shoreland Ordinance)• jr.V'.
