Section IV-B-1 - Lat Standards <br />This presentation was made by Emily Crudup. The purpose <br />of this presentation was to receive citizen comment on an amendment <br />to Section IV-B-1 of the Subdivision Regulations which will <br />establish standards for lots that will provide septic easements, <br />and for lots served by community water or sewer systems. <br />Two changes are proposed in Section IV-B-1, which pertains to <br />minimum lot standards. The first will formalize a policy <br />established by the Board of County Commissioners in September 1986 ...._, <br />which requires twice the minimum lot size far any lot served by an- <br />site sewage disposal when that lot provides, in addition, a septic <br />easement service for a different lot. -~ <br />A second aspect of the amendment involves the minimum size of <br />lots which are served by either public/community water ar sewer, <br />but not both. The current ordinance specifies a minimum lot size <br />of ~D,000 square feet unless bath public (or community) water and <br />sewer are available. The amendment would allow lots served by <br />public/community water or sewer systems to contain a minimum of <br />20,D00 square feet. <br />QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OR PLANNING <br />BOARD. <br />Commissioner Hartwell questioned if this was to address a lot <br />that is served by water or sewer but not both and Crudup indicated <br />that that was correct. <br />Commissioner Willhoit asked if a person would have to provide <br />= their own septic tank to get by with 20,000 square feet and Crudup <br />indicated that they would if they had community water. <br />Commissioner Carey indicated that he believes that work needs <br />to be done an the wording. Link indicated that the staff would work <br />on this. <br />Commissioner Marshall indicated that ordinances are <br />continually being passed that will effect the sanitarians and how <br />they work. She questioned why the Wealth Board does not see, and <br />
