<br /> Subject: Roy Rasmussen Request for Review of Septic System Nonconformity
<br /> • I have attached a letter from the attorney representing Roy Rasmussen of 2700 White
<br /> Oaks Circle. Mr. Rasmussen is requesting that the Council review the finding of the Septic
<br /> Inspector that the existing septic system on the property is nonconforming and needs to be
<br /> replaced within one year. The Rasmussens are questioning the Septic Inspector's finding that
<br /> the system is less than 3 feet from the water table.
<br /> It is staff's recommendation that if the property owner believes the Septic Inspector's
<br /> findings are incorrect, the property owner should hire a certified septic testing consultant to
<br /> conduct the testing. If the consultant's findings agree with the Septic Inspector's findings, it is
<br /> staff's recommendation that the system be identified as nonconforming and that the system be
<br /> brought into conformance within one year.
<br /> Mr. Rasmussen has proposed that the Council grant a variance for his system. It is
<br /> staff's belief that this system is similar to numerous other systems that have been or will be
<br /> found in nonconformance with the septic code. All of these non-conforming systems will be
<br /> required to be brought into conformance. If the Council grants a variance in. this instance, it
<br /> will be opening the doors to a very large number of similar variance requests. I have attached
<br /> a memo from Mike Gaffron outlining the issues related to this item.
