He was hopeful that City sewer would go <br />through the area, but in the mean time he was asking for an <br />allowance or variance that would allow him to modestly alter the <br />existing residence. <br />Councilmember Goetten thought that Gaffron's suggestion tc, <br />extend the drainfield seemed reasonable. <br />Gaffron ela...)rated on his recommendations for the septic <br />system. <br />Mayor Grabek thought it would be best f^_ ,!low the addition, <br />leave the septic system as is until such time there is an <br />indication of failure, --r,u then try the additi -)d 1 drainfield. <br />Grabek said that hopefully sewer would be availan by that time. <br />Bernhardson said that the City would like o work out an <br />agreement with the applicant that would require him to extend the <br />drainfield when needed or p»mp if the extension is not possible. <br />He would also explore with the City Attorney whether it would be <br />legal to require the applicant to sign an appeal waiver for any <br />future sewe- assessments. <br />Mayor Grabek es'ced Gaffron whether the- q were defined <br />standards that would indicate a septic system is tailing so there <br />can be no dispute? <br />Gaffron said if there was seepage, there would be nc <br />question of failure. However, there are gray areas leading up to <br />that point. <br />Mayor Grabek asked N.r. Bichanich if he would object to a <br />condition of approval that would require him to extend the <br />drainfield if the present septic system failed. <br />9 <br />
