Michael Harvey: Typically, there is not a conversation with OWASA concerning water flow or management; that is 56 obviously the purview of the stormwater manager of Orange County. OWASA is not a required primary partner 57 related to the review of a subdivision project. If you would like for the planning staff to have that conversation with 58 OWASA, I don’t see a reason why we could not do that. 59 60 Paul Guthrie: At some point it might be appropriate. 61 62 Michael Harvey: We have submitted this to our joint planning partners for review as required by the joint planning 63 agreement. We do anticipate comments as we move forward. 64 65 Paul Guthrie: Waste disposal on the property, it is probably too early to know how that is planned to be done but I 66 think that is something we need to continue to give attention to. 67 68 Jennifer Leaf: Each lot will be served individually by onsite septic. It is prohibited in the rural buffer to have 69 connection to water and sewer so they have to be done on site and they have done preliminary soil analysis on 70 some of the lots as indicated by the stippled boxes. 71 72 Paul Guthrie: That doesn’t tell me what system we are talking about. 73 74 Jennifer Leaf: Each individual system will be sized at the time the building permit is….. 75 76 Pete Hallenbeck: Paul, are focusing on whether the soil they found was suitable for conventional or low pressure 77 pump, what type of system. 78 79 Paul Guthrie: I was looking for information to draw from my own experience as to what the likely impact would be. 80 There are a number of ways to do this. 81 82 Jennifer Leaf: As the preliminary plat stage of this project the applicant will apply to Environmental Health for a 83 comprehensive review of soil suitability. At this point they have not been involved in finding or evaluating soil types 84 with respect to the location of septic systems. After the concept plan is approved, that is when Environmental 85 Health will be contacted and the official perk sites will go out and be located. 86 87 Pete Hallenbeck: This will be part of the preliminary site plan you are supplying is to have more details about the 88 soil test for septic, etc. 89 90 Mike Neal: Sure. We have had a soil scientist come out and look at the soil and there is a shading on the drawing 91 that shows what areas perk on the lot. We have these stipple boxes, we knew those were the size for a 92 conventional system. We knew the soils were acceptable for a conventional system so we ensured that each lot 93 had an area for conventional system and a repair area. When the lots are sold, we know they can put in a 94 conventional system and that will work and the homeowner may choose another system. 95 96 Tony Blake: How large is this acreage? 97 98 Jennifer Leaf: 104 acres. 99 100 Tony Blake: I have a recombination map that shows almost 200 acres. Is it the acreage that constitutes a major 101 subdivision as opposed to a minor subdivision? 102 103 Jennifer Leaf: The number of lots. One new lot up to five is a minor and then six and above is a major. 104 105 Tony Blake: I am still confused about this huge map that shows a recombination of four tracts and it is 200 acreage 106 not 100. 107 108 Michael Harvey: All we can tell you is this is a 104 acre tract by the current tax record. 109 110 112
