Draft 18 Patrick Mallett: If I might add one other complexity and item of flare to consideration. If we're going down this road 1 and juxtaposing this theoretical septic system, the health department also has standards and 2 setbacks for wells. I'm not saying that a well permit is necessary, but they have spatial relationships 3 that are above and beyond the Planning Department's. It might be worth at least contemplating a 4 theoretical well just to show because I think on all parties, what we're looking for is what is the net 5 buildable area and where is it and how is it, and so that might be helpful. 6 7 Leon Meyers: And which one of the several dozen possible permutations would you like to present, right? 8 9 Patrick Mallett: Yeah. 10 11 David Cates: Yeah, well, and with no pun intended – I did mention the well at the beginning as being one of those 12 factors that we don't necessarily know that. Again, it has a 50-foot buffer to the well and the well 13 and septic have their own buffers 50-foot from the building, so it is another piece of the puzzle that 14 would have to be identified. Normally, it's sort of the last piece because it can sort of go around. It's 15 more easily placeable in some respects. 16 17 Leon Meyers: I was just saying in support of Nathan’s motion where, on this kind of variance, I think the Board 18 would normally expect to see what we’d asked for in the motion. 19 20 David Cates: Yeah. 21 22 Leon Meyers: Any other discussion or questions on the motion, Nathan's motion to postpone to the next meeting, 23 is that right? 24 25 Nathan Robinson: To postpone to a later time. Whenever he's ready to present it. 26 27 Leon Meyers: All right. 28 29 James Bryan: Just for clarification, you guys do have to continue to a date specific to comply with state statutes for 30 notice. 31 32 Nathan Robinson: So, a postponement for 2 months' time, so meeting after that based on the input from Pat? A 33 continuance, is it really a continuance? 34 35 James Bryan: Yes. 36 37 Nathan Robinson: Because we have the option to approve it or deny it or continue it, is that our three choices? 38 39 James Bryan: So, you can continue the hearing. The permit application can be approved or denied, so you could 40 say tonight, we're going to decide it on the merits. You haven't met your burden of proof, denied, 41 and then that carries all the weight, it can't be reapplied for or you could say look, there's been 42 members of the public that wanted time to seek counsel, it looks like the applicant themselves wasn't 43 clear on what is being asked for, so we're going to continue the hearing to another meeting, and all 44 18
