Draft <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />Leon Meyers: So, you're suggesting maybe improvement permit is not a reasonable condition for the next hearing 1 <br />of this case? 2 <br /> 3 <br />Patrick Mallett: I'm indifferent. I mean, I think that's one way you could do it. Or show suitable soils that's prepared 4 <br />by a competent person that can evidence an approvable system to support a footprint in a bedroom 5 <br />set that demonstrates the hardship. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Leon Meyers: Or we can ask the applicant to come back with a proposal for a drain field that we all know we have 8 <br />to have and issue the variance on the condition that the applicant is going to have to have an 9 <br />improvement permit and a CA anyway. So, maybe we just strike the improvement permit on this 10 <br />and hear your motion. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Nathan Robinson: I just want a clearer presentation than what is being proposed. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Leon Meyers: A dimension site plan with all of the essential elements labeled? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Nathan Robinson: Right, and then the back up to demonstrate why we should approve it, according to the standards 17 <br />and what we are required to answer. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Leon Meyers: Okay, then that is the motion. Any discussion on that motion? 20 <br /> 21 <br />Nathan Robinson: He has a question. Is he able to enter a question at this point? 22 <br /> 23 <br />Leon Meyers: Yes sir. 24 <br /> 25 <br />David Cates: Just for clarity, you're not requiring an improvement permit at this time? 26 <br /> 27 <br />Leon Meyers: Correct. Obviously, going forward, this project is going to require an improvement permit and a CA, 28 <br />and it would be in your interest, I would say, to be pretty sure that what you're proposing is going to 29 <br />work. 30 <br /> 31 <br />David Cates: Right, that was kind of what I was leading to is many times, people, in the interest of time, they are 32 <br />allowed to hire a soil scientist to get a proposed septic field, which normally is accepted because 33 <br />these are people with PhDs in soil science. Is that pretty close? 34 <br /> 35 <br />Leon Meyers: Yeah. 36 <br /> 37 <br />David Cates: I'm assuming that might be, while it's not an improvement permit, it is really, really close to – 38 <br /> 39 <br />Greg Niemiroski: I think it would be very beneficial because, essentially, you can apply for this and it does not work. 40 <br />And so all of this could be a moot point. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Leon Meyers: A soil science report would be persuasive for me just speaking for myself. Any other discussion on 43 <br />the motion or any other comments or questions of Mr. Cates? 44 <br />17
