36 Draft <br /> 1 department regulation. Right? <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Cy Stober: Correct. And no structure can be placed upon the septic field, so if the drain field and the repair <br /> 4 area were determined by the Department of Health, under the State Health Codes, to conflict with <br /> 5 a structural location, and they would need to adjust their location in a way that would create a <br /> 6 major modification, we'd be back in a hearing,just like we are tonight for a single structure possibly <br /> 7 in that event. So far the Environmental Health Department has not provided us with clarity on <br /> 8 where the drain field and repair area would be. They're awaiting a permit in order to make that <br /> 9 determination. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Leon Meyers: Just to be sure I understand what you've said here. There is a location shown for the toilets that is <br /> 12 not dimensioned on the plan, but it establishes a general location for the toilet building. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Cy Stober: Correct. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Leon Meyers: I believe I heard you say that if the proposed location for the building were to move more than 5 <br /> 17 feet toward a regulated area. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Cy Stober: No, 5 percent. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Leon Meyers: 5 percent. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Cy Stober: Yes. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Leon Meyers: So, if the distance from the toilet to the regulated area were 100 feet, if it were to move more than <br /> 26 5 feet, it would be a major modification? <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Cy Stober: Let me get the exact language, <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Leon Meyers: All right. I'm really following up on Jeffs original question to see how much flexibility there were be <br /> 31 about the location of the building without a modification. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Cy Stober: Let's just identify them, enter them into the record. Minor modifications are as follows. This is <br /> 34 again, Section 2.7.14. A change, increase or decrease, of no more than 5 percent in the amount of <br /> 35 open space recreation facilities or landscape screening. The recreation facility's of an off-the-cuff, <br /> 36 review in my opinion would be the fields themselves, not the associated accessory structures. A <br /> 37 change of 100 feet or less in the location of open space recreation facilities or landscape <br /> 38 screening. So, if at a relocation of a structure would require giving up an area that's been <br /> 39 dedicated for buffering or landscaping, if it would be a change of 100 feet or less, it's a minor <br /> 40 modification, or 101 feet or more, or 100.1 feet or more would require a major modification. A <br /> 41 change, increase or decrease, of no more than 5 percent in the number of parking spaces <br /> 42 approved, a change in pedestrian and/or vehicular access or circulation that moves such facilities <br /> 43 less than 25 feet. Again, if it's less than 25 feet, it's a minor modification, more it is a major. Then <br /> 44 there's some further minor modifications that are specific to telecommunication facilities, but that's <br /> 45 the exhaustive list. Everything else is a major modification by my interpretation. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Leon Meyers: Thank you. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Patrick Mallett: The minor modifications and that distinction about what you can change and what you can't, has <br /> 50 very limited flexibility. It also assumes that it was contemplated with the original site plan, so you're <br /> 36 <br />
