TO: Jeanne A. Mabusth <br />FROM: Michael P. Gaffron <br />DATE: October 12, 1983 <br />SUBJECT: Dick Howell - Variance - Septic System Review <br />Tract B, R.L.S. 1098 <br />The applicant wishes to build a new home on an existing lot of <br />approximately 1.5 acres with no City sewer or water available. <br />In addition, he is asking for a front setback variance to allow <br />construction of the house near the west side of the lot <br />presumably due 'o the extreme slopes and to keep from encroaching <br />on the drainfield sites. <br />Note that the application shows a different house proposal than <br />the one shown on the site eva]-.ation report submittedi. The <br />longer, narrow configuration would likely encroach :much less on <br />the drainfield sites. <br />The primary and alternate sites tested are located on a rei:cively <br />flat area halfway down the steep slopes. Part of '_.his area has <br />been used recently as an access for the neighbor on the south <br />in order to bring materials in form septic syscem repair. However, <br />from the perc test results, compaction in this location was not <br />a problem. Adequate area appears to exist suitable for trenches <br />on both primary and alternate sites. The site evaluator did <br />note that runoff diversion will be necessary to protect the sites <br />from excess surface water. <br />Based on the information submitted, I recommend approval of the <br />application. Approval of the front setback variance appears to <br />be necessary so as not to encroach on the drainfield areas. The <br />applicant should be informed that an actual system design and <br />final site gradi_nq plans must be submitted prior to issuance of <br />building permits. <br />
