Box 955 Carefree, Arizona 85377 Re : Deering Island Property Dear Mr. Byrd: This letter is to update you on the status of your Deering Island property. In reviewing the conditional use permit application you filed at the City ' s request in June, 1983, it came to our attention that repairs or replacement of the septic system had been done without a permit. We contacted Mr. C. J. Swank of Mound who appeared in our office and explained what work he had done on the system. He had installed a modified "275 gallon fuel oil tank" to be used as a septic tank, which does not meet code requirements. He also located it within 15 ' of the well which is not up to code. An inspection of all Orono island lakeshore properties was made by former City Planner Alan Olson, Building Official Tom Jacobs, and myself on August 3, 1983. On Deering Island, we noted four items relating to the residence which appeared to be violations, including the illegally ins�alled septic system, plumbing done without permits inside the house and not to code, a new electric furnace installed without permits, and existing uncorrected plumbing and wiring hazards. My memo to Alan Olson dated August 4 , 1983, elaborates on the septic system issue. During the fall of 1983 , we were asked by Mr. Spencer Kluegel, attorney for Art Swift, to provide a list of code violations which we would require to be corrected. Subsequently, Tom Jacobs and I made a site inspection in the company of Mr . Swift and Mr. Howard DeSmidt on November 8 , 1983. On February 8 , 1984 , we sent a letter to Mr. Kluegel outlining the code violations we had the authority to require corrected. A copy of that letter is attached.
