4 residential lot. Located in University Lake watershed, the situation prompted the County Attorney to express concern to the Planning Director about the application of the new standard to existing dwellings in the watershed. Specifically, if the primary and /or repair nitrification field(s) for an existing residence failed, and there was no suitable location on the same lot for a repair area, the standard would prevent the owner from residing in the dwelling. Similarly, if an approved subdivision lot has enough suitable soils for a system, but insufficient soils for a repair area, the lot owner is unable to use the approved lot. This latter situation will not be common one, but it is likely to be more than incidental. This is so because the soils analysis done in the past for subdivision approval was based on an assumed three - bedroom residence (Four bedrooms is now assumed during the preliminary soils analysis.) If a lot owner wants a house with four or more bedrooms on an existing one -acre lot, there is more than a casual chance that the lot will not accommodate a septic system and a repair area. To eliminate such situations, amendments to the Zoning Ordinance are needed. EXISTING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS: ARTICLE VI.
