OPTION 6. SELECTIVE CONDEMNATION AND DEMOLITION, would be a <br />potentially expensive alternative which would reduce the ultimate <br />waste load of the Stubbs Bay study area, but would free up very <br />little land suitable for development as drainfield area since <br />drainfields could generally not be located over abandoned wells, <br />in filled soils over old foundations, or in areas of poor soil <br />and water conditions. Selective condemnation and demolition <br />might be a consideration in re -developing portions o' the Stubbs <br />Bay area to a lower density for purposes other . .n sewage <br />management; the feasibility of such an undertaking is beyond the <br />scope of this report. <br />OPTION 7. INSTALLATION 0? SANITARY SEWERS presents the most <br />reliable, long-term solution to current and future anticipated <br />sewage treatment problems in Stubbs Bay. With sewer, the need to <br />provide adequate area for a septic system is eliminated, offering <br />homeowners the increased abijity to improve the livability of <br />their properties. The installation of municipal sewers is the <br />only option that eliminates virtually all homeowner system <br />maintenance responsibilities. <br />IV. CONCLUSION <br />A study of lot sizes and locations of existing improvements <br />in the Stubbs Bay area indicates that in 23 (or 28%) of 82 <br />properties, the existing sewage treatment facilities cannot be <br />replaced within the confines of the minimum acceptable City or <br />State Code requirements. An additional 18 properties (or 22%) <br />would experience major difficulties in repairing or replacing <br />existing systems. There are only 41 properties (or 50%) which <br />appear to have substantially adegLate area available for future <br />repairs and permanent usage of septic systems. A total of 6 <br />existing systems are either now failing or have exhibited signs <br />of failure in the past and have not been repaired. A number of <br />properties currently use a holding tank system as a primary waste <br />disposal means. Ten properties are located within lakeshore <br />areas that are not suitable for use as sewage treatment sites, <br />and are very likely contributing an indirect sewage flow to the <br />lake. <br />27 <br />
