TO: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Planning & Zoning Administrator FROM: Stephen Weckman, On -Site Systems Manager DATE: March 3, 1993 SUBJECT: # 1805 Bob Veronyak, 1425 Bay Ridge Rd. Subdivision - Variance Public Hearing Soil testing and septic system design has been rejected for the proposed subdivision for several reasons. First, the proposed alternate drainfield site does not meet the required 20' setbacks from the proposed property line nor the existing driveway. Second, the recently adopted City Shoreland Regulations require that all existing septic systems within the shoreland district be inspected to verify system conformity according to City and Pollution Control Agency standards at any time a permit for or an intensification of a given property is proposed. The soil testing performed near the existing system indicates that a high seasonal water table is present, which will require the installation of mound systems. Therefore, the existing system is defined as non -conforming and must be replaced within one year of the subdivision and an additional drainfield site must be verified for this lot. Third, the site plan sent us by the property owner indicates that the driveway for the proposed new lot is defined over the primary and alternate drainfield sites for this lot. Also, two different site plans were enclosed, which show the drainfield sites in two different locations. A new site plan must be submitted to clarify this conflicting information. As the information provided has been rejected, I would recommend tabling the application until additional soil testing information can be provided. As described above, an additional drainfield site must be defined for the existing residence and the proposed alternate site defined must be redefined to meet the required setbacks. Also, the site plan must be altered to show that the drainfield sites for the proposed new lot meet the required setbacks from the lot line and driveway .
