JOHN LAMAN, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR MGB HOMES WAS PRESENT.
HE IS REQUESTING THE VARIANCE FOR MR. & MRS. DOSTAL WHO PLAN
TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON THIS PROPERTY. SMITH SURVEY
LOCATED ALL THE NEIGHBORING SEPTIC TANKS AND WELLS. IN ORDER
TO MEET THE STATE REQUIREMENT OF KEEPING THEIR WELL 75 FEET
FROM THEIR SEPTIC SYSTEM AS WELL AS ALL THE EXISTING SEPTIC
SYSTEMS, THEY ARE FINDING IT NECESSARY TO PLACE THE SEPTIC
SYSTEM IN THE REAR OF THE LOT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF AN
EXISTING REAR SEPTIC SYSTEM BY A NEIGHBOR ADJACENT TO THIS
PROPERTY.
ALAN SHiSGAL NOTED THAT THE DRAINFIELD MIGHT STILL BE PLACED
IN THE FRONT OR SIDE YARD. HOWEVER, BRUCE COOPER POINTED OUT
THAT THEIR WELL COULD NOT THEN BE LOCATED ON THEIR LOT.
H.R.S. IS REQUIRING 900 FEET OF PERCABLE AREA AROUND THE NEW
SEPTIC SYSTEM. THE SURVEY' INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM WILL
MECHANICALLY FIT ON THE LOT WITHOUT ENCROACHING. THE EXACT
DRAINFIELD MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSAL, BUT
THEY WILL NOT ENCROACH.
TO ALLEVIATE FUTURE PROBLEMS ON LOT 3, BLOCK 5, UNIT 1 (WHICH
IS NOW VACANT), BRUCE COOPER PROPOSES THAT THE WELL ON LOT 4,
BLOCK 5, BE MOVED AS FAR TO THE RIGHT (NORTH) AS POSSIBLE.
THE OWNER OF LOT 2, BLOCK 5, UNIT 1, MR. FOLSWORTH, WAS
PRESENT. HE DREW A DIAGRAM ON THE CHALKBOARD SHOWING THE
LOCATION OF HIS LOT IN REFERENCE TO THE SUBJECT LOT AND NOTED
THAT HIS SEPTIC SYSTEM IS IN THE FRONT WITH HiS WELL IN THE
REAR, APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET FROM THE SIDE PROPERTY LINE NEXT
TO LOT 3 AND APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 14 FEET FROM THE REAR
PROPERTY LINE.
MR. CAMPBELL, WHO WROTE A LETTER OF OBJECTION, WAS PRESENT
BUT NOTED THAT HE DID NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION AT
THE TIME HE WROTE IT. MR. FOLSWORTH ALSO WROTE A LETTER OF
OBJECTION, BUT IT HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE BOARD
SECRETARY.
THE OWNER OF LOT 17, BLOCK 5, SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS UNIT 1 WAS
NOT PRESENT.
PAGE 3
BRUCE COOPER RECOMMENDED THE VARIANCE BE GRANTED SUBJECT TO
THE WELL BEING MOVED NORTHEAST APPROXIMATELY 25 FEET FROM THE
FRONT PROPERTY LINE AND 20 FEET FROM THE SIDE PROPERTY LINE.
THIS SHOULD STILL ALLOW LOT 3 (WHICH IS NOW VACANT) TO PLACE
ITS WELL IN THE FAR LEFT BOTTOM CORNER (REFER TO THE SURVEY)
WiTH THE DRAINFIELD IN THE FRONT NEAR HIS SOUTH LOT LINE.
THIS RECOMMENDATION WILL PUT LOT 3 IN THE BEST POSSIBLE
POSITION FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, MOTION BY MARY HEINICKE,
SECONDED BY JAMES HUSK TO GRANT THE VARIANCE SUBJECT TO STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS (WELL TO BE PLACED APPROXIMATELY 25 FEET FROM
FRONT PROPERTY LINE AND APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET FROM THE SIDE
(SOUTH) PROPERTY LINE).
