Lticia'liortison, 1540 Fox Street <br />October 19, 1989' <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />There are a number of existing residences in the City where <br />sbptic 6ystetn components are on the opposite side of a driveway <br />or private road easement but within the same lot as the house <br />served by them. Nothing in the septic code appears to prohibit <br />such a situation, hence Option A is viable from a septic <br />standpoint. <br />The concept of septic system components being on leased <br />Froperty would result in the potential of any number of <br />contrived lot line" subdivision requests. Furthermore, with <br />multiple interests in a leased parcel, there would seem to be a <br />potential for problems in controlling the use of the parcel, <br />which could conceivably lead to inadvertent damage to the system. <br />In a worst case scenario, a future owner of the parcel under <br />lease might allow construction traffic to damage the site, making <br />it useless for alternate drainfield. Such an occurrence is less <br />likely if t; a pi operty is controlled and owned by the party who <br />may ultimately need to make use of that site. <br />Staff Recommendation - <br />Staff would hessitate to recommend approval of the leased <br />alternate drainfield site request. There are any number of <br />problems associated with such a concept including security of the <br />site, as well as the potential for "contrived" subdivisions. <br />
