The existing sewage treatment tanks are cesspool and seepage pit, and are classified as <br />non -compliant and will need to be abandoned and replaced. Homeowner chooses to upgrade the <br />system now, in order to improve conditions affecting groundwater and the lake. Existing <br />trenches are compliant and may be used. These trenches appear to be surveyed at five feet over <br />the property line. These trenches would be terminated three feet back from the property line (and <br />the abandoned portion backfilled with loam). Additional trenches would be added to double the <br />total area. The new trenches would be only 3' from the property line and 3' from an uphill <br />garage, slab on grade. <br />The hardship related to this application is as follows: Existing tanks need to be replaced to <br />protect the adjacent lake and groundwater. Due to limited space between the house and property <br />line, replacement tanks and additional trenches need to be as close as 3' from the property line <br />and 3' from and uphill garage, slab on grade. Given the existing conditions, the only possible <br />location would require these variances. <br />The existing situation has been evaluated by Steven Shinners WCA No. 627), and he designed <br />the current proposed solution. Jon Olson of Olson Sewer Service would install the new system, <br />and he confirms with Shilrmer that the variance is required, but desirable and necessary. <br />The adjacent property owner, Jack Goodlad, is aware of the proposal and supports the decision to <br />grant the variances. The affected area is all well downhill from his properly. <br />RECEIVED <br />
