A site visit was completed on September 24, 2009.
After the site visit Pam Peterson had some concerns.
Pam had suggested that the property owner might not want to limit the location of the right of way to the property at this time due to the property owner not sure as to where the location of the septic system is to be. Pam suggested that it may be wise to keep the right of way open until the septic area is defined. ZEO, Cathy Clark stated before deeds are written for the property the owner will need to clarify where the right of way will be.
