CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMB ER 21, 11982 -9- 8. ENGINEER'S REPORT: B. .Dean Johnston -'Continued /- =-Bo rear — This holds true with the distance that a system 1 has to be above a groundwater table or bedrock condition. The aft. requirement to permit placement a septic system above the water table is considered safe, based on the bes-c available technology. --Novak - if all the safety features are built in, then how far do you go with a variance. --Bohrer -- can only address the engineering features of the septic system. Some of the other variances, set backs for driveways, etc. do not deal with the function or design of the septic system, and, cannot or should not advise the Council on since it is not an engineering dec:ialon. --Eder - what are the specifics on Lila setback of the driveway - adjacent to or not. --Bohrer - it appears from the site plan the edge of the driveway is 1-2 ft away from the property line. --Mottaz - before the Council can give a variance from the driveway setback would have to have a statement from the adjacent property cwner,whose property would be infringed upon, stating he has. no objection. Audience Comments - --Dean Johnston, 8200 Hill Tr. - Basically what .iG being ;XMpesed isa--house that i.s sa.fe for the neighborhood, is consistent with the other homes in the area in terms of the setbacks, the driveway is already existing and was not challenged at the time. This is a new issue. Think all of r the issues raised at the public hearing have been addressed satisfactorily. --Eder - questioned the driveway. --Johnston driveway exists right now _ it is there. It was put in as a part of the access to install the retaining wall. --Eder - do not recall any showing or agreement on a driveway. --Bill Schumacher, 8186 Hill Tr. N. asked for clarification on the closest well,; and asked if there would be any effect on the Klass well that is 60 ft. away. --Bohrer - The Klass well to the east has a lower ground surface eteVbtion, by the well, than. '-some of the upper drainfield runs. However, 3 ft of earth vertically is considered adequate to remove all of the harmful substances that are in the effluent and 3 ft. horizonitally would do the same. --Robert Peterson, 8278 Hidden Bay Ct. N. - lives about 500 ft. from the proposed site. In the 26 yrs has lived in this area has only asked for one variance. See four or five variance here. One so critical to getting closer to the lake, where we know there has been contamination. Do not understand how more than one variance could be considered. --Ben Klass, 8190 Hill Tr. N. - property owner to the east - driveway in question adjoins his property. At the time the driveway was installed had no objection, but, was not asked if he had any objection. Have benefitted too in some respects. Greatest concern is contamination of his well, with drainage that may end up on his property and into his septic system. This is everyone's main concern. Other than that has no objection. At the present time, would have to think over the suggestion of signing an agreementregarding the driveway variance. Would have to discuss it with the neighbors.
