TO: File <br />FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Septic System Inspector <br />DATE: August 6, 1979 <br />SUBJECT: Denial of Well Permit - 3401 East Lake Street <br />On Friday, July 27, 1979, Associated Well Drilling Company applied <br />for a permit to drill a new well at the above address for the <br />contract for deed owner John Meader. I refused to issue the permit <br />until a site inspection could be made. The well driller and myself <br />proceeded to the site. The house was locked and appeared empty and <br />vacant. The well driller removed a screen, entered an open window <br />and I followed. No evidence of any existing well, septic system <br />or plumbing was found either inside or outside the house. A room <br />which apparently was at one time a bathroom had no fixtures. <br />The well permit was denied for the following reasons: <br />1) No sanitary facilities were found to be existing. According to <br />State Building Code, a building with no sanitary facilities is <br />uninhabitable. <br />2) Issuance of a well permit would in effect allow creation of a <br />new habitable dwelling on a substandard lot. This would require <br />a variance to the Stubbs Bay Moratorium, and variances to the <br />building and zoning regulations including lot area, lot width, <br />setbacks (both front and side) and a variance from the On -Site <br />Ordinance to install a holding tank. <br />Mr. Meader came to the office and after some discussion was given <br />an application for a variance. <br />cc: Alan Olson <br />Bruce Malkerson <br />Thomas Jacobs <br />Jeanne Msbuath <br />
