Continued from 3/20/80 The Bottoms and their engineer, Marve Kirkeby, were present for the discussion. Staff explained that this is a request for a single site on a 13 -acre parcel on Bohlman Road. The City Geologist had reviewed the map and had described it as a mar- ginal site requiring close work with the engineers and geologist. The Health Department had approved the lower site for a leach field, which resulted in a very long, tight line. Discussion ensued on the location of the approved leach field site, and it was finally determined to note on the map the leach field site being approved with the possibility for the applicants to come back and modify that site if the Health Department had approved an upper site. Mr. Wimberly explained that he had a problem with the upper site in any event, because of the steepness and slope which would require substantial grading, and the fact that slope barriers existed on both sides of the ridge. He reiterated the marginal nature of the site and expressed the need for the applicant and their engineers and contractor to work closely with the City. When asked if there were any problems with the Staff Report, the applicant's engineer pointed out that Condition II -D should be modified to require a designed structural section 13 ft. behind centerline and flowline, rather than 26 ft. The Staff agreed with this modification. It was moved and seconded to approve SDR -1396 as amended, with the caveatt that the leach field site as marked approved could be modified, given more detail that resulted in a better site. The motion was carried unanimously. - 1 - Land Development Committee Minutes 4/3/80 Page 2 B.
