Re: Septic System - 2765 Fox Street
Building Debris - 700 Old Crystal Bay Road South
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Strickland:
On May 3, 1984, I met with Ms. Dundurs at 2765 Fox Street at her
request to look at the septic system. It was discharging to the
surface and, obviously, needed work. I noted that when Al Bragelman
of E. J. Peterson Company had located and pumped the tank a year or
so ago, he was unable to locate a second tank after extensive excavation,
nor did he locate the drainfield. The drainfield may have been merely
a tile system with no rock. At any rate, it 4s not working now and
needs major repairs or replacement. Having seen the existing tank
when it was open, I would recommend you abandon it and replace with
two 1,000 gallon precast septic tanks. Soil testing will need to be
done in order to design the drainfield. I have enclosed information to
help you in completing the repairs.
I also noted to Ms. Dundurs we'd had a complaint about the trash and
debris near the foundation at 700 Old Crystal Bay Road. I see that you
have removed the plastic leaf bads and thank you for your prompt
attention. However, during my inspection of this site, it was obvious
that other debris and junk remained on the site, as well as the remains
of the building which was demolished in 1982. This is certainly an
eyesore during seasons when the leaves are gone and is a hazardous
situation. I must require that you remove the junk and building remains
and generally cleanup the site by June 15, 1984. Pertinent code sections
are attached.
Please contact me if you have questions or if I can be of further help.
Sincerel�r,
