I have reviewed the concept previously , <br />over the phone with the project engineer. I would like to offer the following comments at this time. <br /> <br />. .' '" <br />There are a couple of corrections to the plat sheets. First the vicinity map indicates the site is in Section 26. <br />Secondly, the plat incorre'ctly refers to the basin as 71-238W. The basin that is located in Section 23 is <br />,ac~all~ 71-11 W. The OHW elevation of 936.90 also should be clearly marked on the plat. <br /> <br />7.) , The project proposer has indicated that the individual sewage treatment systems will be managed by an <br />) Association. I have indicated to the project engineer in the past that I am amenable to the idea. However, . <br />the acceptability of the concept hinges on the level of responsibility and the nature of the Associations <br />authority. I also have indicated that the siting of the treatment systems should be done in a manner that <br />further removes the potential impacts of the systems on the surrounding resources. If flexibility is to be <br />granted in this area of the proposal, it appears reasonable to expect additional care would be taken in siting <br />the treatment systems. <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />>',r', - <br /> <br />I hope these comments are helpful. I certainly would like to see the portion of the Homeowners Association <br />documents that deal with the treatment systems, before I endorse the plan. The concept is sound in my opinion, <br />however. If the Planning Commission is comfortable that the project is consistent with the intent of the ordinance I <br />have no objections to the project. <br /> <br />I apolqgize for missing the earlier meetings on this project. As you know, our office has been moving, which has <br />been a major disruption to service. However, I would also add that I was nof given sufficient notice for the last <br />meeting (one day). I will always do my best to participate on those projects you desire or need our input on in the <br />future. However, it is not uncommon for my schedule to be filled 2-3 weeks in advance, so please give me as much <br />lead time as possible. Thank you for your patience and please contact me if there any further questions or concerns. <br /> <br />/' <br />SinCOJe!YU, . <br /> <br />~ ... <br /> <br />Area Hydrologist <br /> <br />.'. <br /> <br />. !! <br /> <br />t. i:, <br /> <br />h"., . .." <br /> <br />-.\David Hills, Re'gional Hydrologist ': ::. <br />;Peter Knaeble, Terra Engineering, Inc. <br /> <br />~ .. .. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />DNR Infonnation: 612-296-6157. 1-800-766-6000 .
