DEC 51979 BOOK 42- PACE222 YOU WILL CREATE A SUMP AREA. WHEN SOMEONE DOES BUILD ON THE LOW LOTS, HE FELT IT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD GENERALLY AGREED THAT THIS MATTER SHOULD BE SETTLED IN ADVANCE, MR. FOWLER ASKED IF THEY COULD COMMIT THEMSELVES TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FILL OVER THOSE TWO LOTS OR COMMIT THEMSELVES IN SOME WAY TO GET APPROVAL. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT SUGGESTED THAT THEY GO AHEAD AND CUT THE DITCHES AND THEN COME BACK FOR APPROVAL, MR. REDISH AND MR. FOWLER NOTED THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN ELEVATION BETWEEN LOTS 2 AND 3 AND THE LOTS ACROSS THE STREET IS ABOUT A FOOT OR LESS. MR. REDISH INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY WOULD PROPOSE TO PUT IN THE DRAINAGE AND THEN COME BACK AND SEE IF THE BOARD FEELS THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, OR JUST BRING THOSE LOTS UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE SURROUNDING LOTS, COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THEY WERE PUTTING OFF THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO GO TO 36" FOR A SEPTIC TANK. MR, FOWLER POINTED OUT THAT THE 36" DOES NOT COVER THE ENTIRE LOT. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS COMMENTED THAT IF THIS PLAN WERE ACCEPTABLE IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, THEY COULD GO OUT THERE AND BRING THE GROUND UP TO.A SATISFACTORY ELEVATION AND THEN ASK FOR TENTATIVE APPROVAL. MR. REDISH STATED THAT IF HE DIDN'T GET THE TENTATIVE APPROVAL NOW AND ANY LAWS WERE CHANGED, THEN THEY WOULD BE CAUGHT WITH THAT CHANGE, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THAT MR. REDISH IS ASKING THE BOARD TO APPROVE A SUBDIVISION ON LAND THAT IS NOT SUITABLE TO BUILD ON. ALLEN CONNEL OF THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE STATED THAT HE HAS BEEN OUT AT THIS PROPERTY AND QUESTIONS THE FACT THAT JUST TWO LOTS WILL NEED FILL SINCE THE ENTIRE AREA IS UNDERLAID WITH CLAY. HE NOTED THAT THE WEST AREA IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE EAST, AND FILL WILL DEFINITELY BE NEEDED ON THE EAST TO BE SURE THAT THE SEPTIC TANKS WILL WORK.
