J978. The sytem was inspected regularly since installation and <br />shows no history of past problems. This property again has ample <br />room for replacement trench drainfields if soil conditions will <br />allow trenches. However, if soils dictate that a mound would be <br />needed, the only flat area available is directly behind the <br />house, and it is unknown whether the soils in this area were <br />disturbed during construction of the home, <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Both residences have functional trench drainfield <br />systems and lots of room to replace same, if soil testing finds <br />suitable conditions for trenches. If failure occurs and a mound <br />is needed, both properties have at least one potential mound <br />site. <br />If the Council wishes to consider exclusion of <br />properties that exceed 2 acres in area and which have future <br />drainfield sites available, then it would be appropriate to <br />require soil testing to verify that alternate sites exist, <br />coupled with requiring some sort of written agreement to protect <br />those sites. This might be a possible method for exclusion of <br />the Isles’s property which exceeds 2 acres in area. <br />5. Barren Property at 175 Landmark Drive. <br />Mr. Barren has requested exemption of his 2 + acre lot. <br />This property has a conforming mound system which was installed <br />1988. The property has a tested and an approved alternate mound <br />site available. <br />RECOMMENDATION; <br />There is no compelling reason to provide sewer to this <br />property other than the fact that it is within the study area. <br />The concern is that it abuts a 1.5 acre property, 185 Landmark <br />Drive, just to the west, which has a 20 year old trench <br />drainfield septic system with limited area for replacement due to <br />being surrounded by wetland on 2 sides. If this property is <br />served with sewer, it would be hard to justify not serving the <br />Barren property, since both could likely be served by the same <br />pipe. <br />Due to its limited acreage and proximity to the wetland, <br />it would be hard to justify excluding 185 Landmark Drive unless <br />testing and documentation is provided to show that adequate <br />alternate sites are available for all future needs. <br />SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />TT, TT the city extends a pipe 'p Leaf Street, all 5 <br />properties east of Leaf Street should be s ? /ed. <br />2. Properties south of Bayside Road on Oxford Road do <br />not exhibit a compelling need to be provided with municipal <br />sewer, but might be included at the option of the neighborhood.
