CITY COUNCIL MEETING,'SEPTEMBER 7, 1982 -3 - 5 DEAN JOHNSTON PUBLIC HEARING - CONTINUED; Bohrer - Johnston can meet the setback from the water both hori:zonital and elevation, The ,setback in the Shoreland Regulation is based on the classification of the lake and generally for - aesthetic reasons„ John Stein, DDTR, has reviewed the proposal and indicated that he did not have any objections to the 50 ft. setback variance from the water; but did ask that the tree line around the shore be kept in tact, thereby screening the house somewhat from the water. As the elevation of the proposed septic system area is well above any flood elevation,-iit-was felt the distance from -the n,rater was -simply aesthetics. The review of this proposal was based on the calculations of Mr; Johnston's septic designer for a three bedroom home. The house plans, submitted to the Building Inspector, are for a one bedroom house with the possibility of one additional bedroom. If it were evaluated on the basis of a two bedroom home there would be enough area for a septic system and an alternate of the same size, --Mottaz ,- asked Mr. Johnson if he would agree..to include a limit of two bedrooms in his abstract until such time as sanitary sewer was available, —Johnston would have no objection to this, -Novak would it be safer to design the system for a two rather than three bedroom house, than if there was a failure the alternate site could be used; or would it be safer to have one system designed for a three bedroom house, Bohrer - it would be better to have the system installed as outlined in the review memo - as submitted on the proposal. Does not have an alternate site but will have a system that is twice the size, ( needed; --Mottaz - if this system fails he has no place to go P if it fails it will undoubtly fail the whole system not just half, Bohrer n explained the "Drop Pax` design that would have to be used, P-Bill Sohumackaer, Lot .1 asked if there is any record of an old drainfield running through this lot. Belives the drainfield from the Cohn house went across this property. This can be verified with Poona Cohn, Asked about the snow that is presently stored in the Johnston driveway - would this have to be hauled out, --Whittaker -- if the snow gets too high .for the banks it will be hauled away, 7-Morgan - with todays technology the likelihood of this system failing r does have two bonefide sites - is far less than the probability of the existing systems failing. Cannot penalize him because of what is going to happen to things that were put in 20 yrs. ago with inferior technology. Patricia Cole, Lot 1 & 2, - the systems that have failed or are having problems in this subdivision are all less than 10 yrs. old - are probably the last three systems put in, -Steve Larsen - suggested having Roger Plachmier design a system, --Whittaker - regarding the comparison of this lot to the average of the other buildable parcels the average building parcel is ,52A Mr, Johnstons parcel is ,57A - this exceed the average building parcel for the homes in this neighborhood as opposed to the average lot size, --Eder - personally feels that based on the discussion on the drain - field and in order to meet the two drainfield requirements this matter should be tabled until a specific Septic design for-a'two bedroom house is available
