district shall be formed in accordance with Section 9-10004 . The <br /> absence of an existing system, in itself, does not necessarily mean <br /> an individual project does not need a public sewer system. <br /> S <br /> APPEAL STATEMENT: <br /> Construction of a sewer system would be unreasonably burdensome. <br /> RESPONSE• <br /> The applicant could develop this two and a half acre parcel on a � <br /> septic system. Because the applicant is seeking to divide the <br /> property into four parcels, Environmental Health is requiring that <br /> the project connect to a public sewer system. <br /> APPEAL STATEMENT: <br /> Development requirements Section 9-10101(c) allows for septic tanks <br /> on an interim basis in Rural Centers. <br /> RESPONSE• <br /> 1 <br /> The approval of an interim septic system is discretionary. Because <br /> of the history of septic system failures on small commercial <br /> parcels, Environmental Health has stated that septic system <br /> development would not be appropriate for these small parcels. <br /> APPEAL STATEMENT: <br /> No one in the entire Clements area has ever been required to hook <br /> up to a public sewer system. <br /> RESPONSE• <br /> Within the last 30 years, there have been no divisions of land, in <br /> Clements, that have resulted in parcels less than 2 acres, without <br /> a public sewer requirement. The Shannon Project required a public <br /> sewer system and has been approved. The Teresi project also <br /> required a public sewer system but was denied. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT• <br /> None. <br /> ACTION TO BE TAKEN FOLLOWING APPROVAL: <br /> None. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CHET DAVISSON <br /> DIRECTOR <br /> I <br />
