COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS FROM HAVING SEPTIC TANKS, AND THAT WOULD THEN RESTRICT MOST OF THE SMALL MULTI -FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND SOME COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED IT LOOKED TO HIM LIKE AN OUTRIGHT PROHIBITION. MR. LINER RESPONDED THAT IF THERE WAS A GRAVITY SEWER LINE WITHIN 200', A CONNECTION WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE, BUT IF NOT, THIS WOULD PROHIBIT MULTI -FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL BUILDING THAT WOULD OVERLOAD THE SEPTIC TANKS. DISCUSSION ENSUED REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT THIS WOULD BE SAFE, AS FAR AS HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS. MR. LINER BELIEVED THAT A WELL AND SEPTIC WITH VERY PRECISE POSITIONING COULD BE ON 1/2 ACRE AND BE SAFE BUT POINTED OUT THAT WE DON `T ALWAYS HAVE CONTROL AS TO HOW PRECISELY THEY ARE INSTALLED. HE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT DRINKING WATER FROM A WELL THAT IS CLOSE TO A SEPTIC TANK., COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT HE DISAGREED WITH THE PRESENT RULING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS AND FELT THE BOARD IS NOT IN A POSITION TO DETERMINE IF THAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG. HE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD GO ALONG WITH WHATEVER THE STATE RULES ARE, WITH THE EXCEPTION IF THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN 200' OF A GRAVITY LINE, A CONNECTION SHOULD BE MADE, DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT HOW THE WORDING OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE SHOULD.BE AMENDED, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT HE WOULD CLARIFY IT. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THEY ARE TIED INTO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS AND THE ORDINANCE COULD READ THAT WE WILL MEET THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS BUT -IN NO CASE TO EXCEED FOUR 4 UNITS PER ACRE. THE BOARD AGREED. TO SPEAK. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHED JOE BLAKE, 300 14TH PLACE, ROCKRIDGE, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND STATED THAT HE OBJECTED TO THE FIGURES USED BY THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER, AND ALSO OBJECTED PAYING $1.50 FOR 1,000 GALLONS OF WATER.
