92 <br /> 56 Michael Harvey: Typically, there is not a conversation with OWASA concerning water flow or management; that is <br /> 57 obviously the purview of the stormwater manager of Orange County. OWASA is not a required primary partner <br /> 58 related to the review of a subdivision project. If you would like for the planning staff to have that conversation with <br /> 59 OWASA, I don't see a reason why we could not do that. <br /> 60 <br /> 61 Paul Guthrie: At some point it might be appropriate. <br /> 62 <br /> 63 Michael Harvey: We have submitted this to our joint planning partners for review as required by the joint planning <br /> 64 agreement. We do anticipate comments as we move forward. <br /> 65 <br /> 66 Paul Guthrie: Waste disposal on the property, it is probably too early to know how that is planned to be done but 1 <br /> 67 think that is something we need to continue to give attention to. <br /> 68 <br /> 69 Jennifer Leaf: Each lot will be served individually by onsite septic. It is prohibited in the rural buffer to have <br /> 70 connection to water and sewer so they have to be done on site and they have done preliminary soil analysis on <br /> 71 some of the lots as indicated by the stippled boxes. <br /> 72 <br /> 73 Paul Guthrie: That doesn't tell me what system we are talking about. <br /> 74 <br /> 75 Jennifer Leaf: Each individual system will be sized at the time the building permit is..... <br /> 76 <br /> 77 Pete Hallenbeck: Paul, are focusing on whether the soil they found was suitable for conventional or low pressure <br /> 78 pump,what type of system. <br /> 79 <br /> 80 Paul Guthrie: I was looking for information to draw from my own experience as to what the likely impact would be. <br /> 81 There are a number of ways to do this. <br /> 82 <br /> 83 Jennifer Leaf: As the preliminary plat stage of this project the applicant will apply to Environmental Health for a <br /> 84 comprehensive review of soil suitability. At this point they have not been involved in finding or evaluating soil types <br /> 85 with respect to the location of septic systems. After the concept plan is approved, that is when Environmental <br /> 86 Health will be contacted and the official perk sites will go out and be located. <br /> 87 <br /> 88 Pete Hallenbeck: This will be part of the preliminary site plan you are supplying is to have more details about the <br /> 89 soil test for septic,etc. <br /> 90 <br /> 91 Mike Neal: Sure. We have had a soil scientist come out and look at the soil and there is a shading on the drawing <br /> 92 that shows what areas perk on the lot. We have these stipple boxes, we knew those were the size for a <br /> 93 conventional system. We knew the soils were acceptable for a conventional system so we ensured that each lot <br /> 94 had an area for conventional system and a repair area. When the lots are sold, we know they can put in a <br /> 95 conventional system and that will work and the homeowner may choose another system. <br /> 96 <br /> 97 Tony Blake: How large is this acreage? <br /> 98 <br /> 99 Jennifer Leaf: 104 acres. <br /> 100 <br /> 101 Tony Blake: I have a recombination map that shows almost 200 acres. Is it the acreage that constitutes a major <br /> 102 subdivision as opposed to a minor subdivision? <br /> 103 <br /> 104 Jennifer Leaf: The number of lots. One new lot up to five is a minor and then six and above is a major. <br /> 105 <br /> 106 Tony Blake: I am still confused about this huge map that shows a recombination of four tracts and it is 200 acreage <br /> 107 not 100. <br /> 108 <br /> 109 Michael Harvey: All we can tell you is this is a 104 acre tract by the current tax record. <br /> 110 <br />
