White (93.12-1-34) 7967 Lakeshore Drive (TR-1)
Applicant is requesting a variance for a Gravity Distribution Mound Septic System. The variance requested is due to a 16% slope of grade, a less than allowable natural soil depth and the distance of separation from the leaching system to a dwelling. A retaining wall will be needed to contain the fill of the system. The engineered design of the leach system will be a combination of Peat Fibre Bio filters and Eljen in drain laterals.
Motion by M. Martucci, seconded by R. Gladu to approve the White’s Septic Variance (93.12-1-34). AYES: Supervisor Belden, R. Gladu, M. Martucci, and E. Frasier. Motion carried.
