land and ghat was approved in the beginning, I think it was supposed to have had, like 2
times as much land as needed to extend the sewer system in case of (not clear) .
Because of the type of soil, and this is the poorest quality, I think, for septic tanks,
but this is still preferable to pu'ring it in the lake.
WEBER: . (not clear) in this particular case as I remember, roughly you have a
14 -acre drainfield going out (not clear) . . It's just larger.
I felt like that with the terrain, and I've been on that hill this afternoon myself, and I
feel like with the roc!; formation that's there, there is certainly
a greater danger, and we happen to own the water system, and we have mandated
that that sewer drainage area cannot come across the crest of that hill out there because
of our well, that's how afraid we are of it.
We don't know what kind of rock fractures or where it's going. All those people
downsteam or upstream could conceivably get some type of effluent into their well water
(not clear) . of a rock fracture. Health Services mandated that we have to protect
that well from the crest of that hill back.
TROUTMAN: Just remind the board that the time the presentation was made that the
State and County health departments both agreed that the water (not clear) . . . proposed
and planned was within the (not clear) . . . of safety. (not clear) . . . .
WALSER: I'm not trying to say the septic tanks won't work. I'm not going to stand
up here and say it won't work. We will build it with septic tanks. We have permission to
go forward, and we don't need (not clear) . to build with septic tanks. We're just
coming back to you as good citizens, hopefully telling you what we have found out as we
go, and that we are asking you to let us spend more money.
I would hate to be in your position right now and make this decision, but certainly
we vouldn't come back here and ask you to let us spend more money if we didn't think it
was the gest thing to do.
WEBER: The utility, of :ourse, we don't have anything to do with it one way or the
other, so we liavc no nrrhlems with it either way. We have the water system, and that's
all we're concerned with at this point unless there is a sewer treatment facility put in,
*7r.'re not concerned with it at all except from a fresh water standpoint.
LE4IS: Mr. Chairman, I'm representing Mallard Head, of course. I need an
understanding here. You're tr^_ating us both in open hearing at one time. Now are you
going to close '.ho open hearing and go back to regular session and vote on these as one
issue, or how's phis goinn to aork?
TIED"ICK: Well, they'll be voted on separately. They'll be . The choice is
ours to hear bath while we just make one rap of the gavel to go into public hearing. When
we go back to regular session we can vote one time, the item, Heronwood, came up first,
and that would be natural for us to vote on that, and then vote on Mallard Head.
LEWIS: The reason I bring it up, they're so different.
HEDRICK: Yes, sir. I understand that.
Any other questions of comments by members of the audience or the commission with
regard to the request from Heronwood?
Do you want to consider in public hearing the merits of Mallard Head at this time, or
do you want to dispose of the Heronwood issue first?
There being clear-cut choice, we'll go ahead with the hearing from Mallard Head.
BECKHAM: This is the revised site plan for Mallard Head condominiums. The corner of
the property you'll see a circle sketched with the wastewater treatment plant being drawn
in. This is the only addition or change amendment to their original PRD plan.
HEDRICK: You show, Lisa, the well within a 100' radius, maybe 200' from the plant
site. This well (not clear) . . . is above the site of the plant?
BECKHAM: Yes, it is. 100' radius is required by the state authorities.
HEDRICK: And since I've been down there and looked at the site, I will share the bit
of information that I have that would show you that the plant site would discharge into
the stream that runs just across, just in front of the T box on the 6th hole. That would
be the method in which the discharge would be taken care of. (not clear) . . . .
