Because of the location of the well, the lake side of the house is the only land available for the septic system. A variance for setback from the lake is required. The variance to allow a 40-•foot setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark is requested, where 75 feet is required in the Shoreland Ordinance. Larry Bohrer recommended that the setback variance be granted based on the hardship being there is no suitable land available on the lot. Barb Walsh asked if she could still keep 1 black walnut tree or 2 trees on the west side of her house. Building Official Jim McNamara suggested a 1500 gallon septic tank be installed rather than a 1200 gallon tank and shorten the drainfield area and meet the 3 foot vertical separation from the water table. By enlarging the septic tank, the trees would not be excavated, but some tree damage may occur.
