Department is governed by location of the septic tank rather than <br />the street, and he did not know what elevation would be <br />acceptable to them. <br />Commissioner Fletcher stated that he had a problem with <br />granting preliminary plat approval without that information. <br />Peter Sabonjohn, developer, reported on two houses which he <br />and his brother built in this immediate area at an elevation <br />about 20" above the crown of the road, which houses have no <br />existing problems with plumbing, etc. <br />County Engineer Jim Davis pointed out that this area is <br />included in the -City -County Drainage Study and reported that the <br />subdivision to the east has incorporated very wide swales, which <br />has worked very well in retaining the water. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commented that 'our staff recommended <br />approval contingent on a detailed study of the storm water <br />system, and he believed it is up to our Engineering Department to <br />determine what meets the requirements. Mr. Amos has indicated <br />that would be acceptable to him. <br />Commissioner Fletcher expressed concern about the County <br />Engineer being relied on to design drainage, and it was noted <br />that Mr. Davis just analyzes the plans submitted. <br />Mx. Davis informed the Board that he has reviewed this plan <br />and feels it is adequate though not oversized. The system at <br />Bentwood Terrace next door is very similar and we have had no <br />problems with it in two years. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Bird, seconded by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, to grant preliminary plat approval to <br />Florence Acres Subdivision subject to staff's recommendation that <br />a detailed engineering study of the drainage system be submitted <br />and approved by the County Engineer prior to final plat approval. <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that he would vote for the Notion <br />but wished it understood that we expect the drainage to be on the <br />adequate side rather than the skimpy side. <br />MAY 5 1982 ,y 49pw 5 <br />
