20 <br /> INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Emily Crudup, ASLA Planner II <br /> FROM Paul Thames, County Engine DATE: McLennan's Farms <br /> SUBJECT: June 15, 1989 <br /> I have visited the site for the above project with the <br /> owner-Leon Todd, the engineer-Craig Morgan and the planner- <br /> Dan Jewel, and I have the following comments: <br /> a) The site proposed for the low pressure distribution field <br /> appears to be ideal , from a topographic standpoint, for <br /> the low pressure distribution lateral system. <br /> b) I am not qualified to determine if the field's soils are <br /> suitable for the proposed system or for the proposed <br /> application. I was told that the entire field, a small <br /> percentage of which was tree covered, has been judged <br /> suitable. <br /> c) My chief concern, expressed in my original review, <br /> dealing with the limited differential between the <br /> required field area and the available field areit, has been <br /> satisfactorily addressed, with the assumption that the <br /> soils for the entire site shown me are suitable. <br /> d) The other concerns, expressed in the original memo, <br /> regarding elements of the system design are as yet <br /> unaddressed. However, those concerns can be addressed in <br /> the design process, assuming that we will have design <br /> review authority. The design review authority for the <br /> County should be a condition of approval . <br /> e) I was verbally assured that the septic system would be <br /> designed for loading from 14 - 3 bedroom houses instead <br /> of 14 -3 1/2 bedroom houses as origionally proposed. <br /> This change would give some additional margin for <br /> adjustment in the field sizing design. This change <br /> should be addressed in the approval process. <br />
