RE: Proposed Jackson Residence, Edgewood Hills Road
Dear Mr. Rebers:
We are in receipt of a set of plans and application for permit for
the proposed Edge Jackson residence on Edgewood Hills Road as of
today. In a cursory review of the information submitted, I find a
few discrepancies which must be resolved before we can issue a
building permit.
1) Side Setback - proposed 27' - 30' required. A readjustment
of the house location may take care of this.
2) Septic System - The information submitted is merely a
preliminary report based on two perc tests and one boring. ►r..
must have a total of at least 6 perc tests (and 3 borings)
showing both a primary and alternate drainfield site as well
as a system design. Based on the preliminary perc test, a
usable area of approximately 6,000 - 8,000 sq. ft. should be
delineated and preserved for drainfield use. I also note that
from the topographic sketch some steep slopes occur on the lot
and should be avoided for proper A rainfield functioning. Please
see the attached sheet showing wha-c remains to be submitted.
If you have any questions, please call.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Ga fron

SUBJECT: Proposed Septic System Approval
Freda Keith - Edgewood Hills Road
I have reviewed the soil testing and septic system proposal for
the proposed Edge Jackson home on Edgewood Hills Road. Although
at first glance the lot appears too steep for a drainfield system,
some natural terracing occurs where drainfields will be acceptable.
Ample area can be preserved for present and future drainfields on
the lot. The soil borings and perc tests indicate a standard system
should work satisfactorily on the lot.
The septic system for the Freda Keith residence at 1045 Edgewood Hills
Road (adjacent to lot in question) was inspected today and appears to
be functioning properly. Ample room exists on the property for use as
future drainfield.
Although the Jackson lot and the existing Keith residence are both
less than two acres, the position of the houses on the lots leaves
much room for drainfield. I would recommend approval of the 1.6 acre
Jackson lot as a building site.
