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 /> 1) 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 incorrectly refers to the basin as 71-238W. The basin that is located in Section 23 is <br /> actually 71-11W. The OHW elevation of 936.90 also should be clearly marked on the plat. <br /> 2) 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 /> 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 /> I apologize 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 not 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 /> Sincex`ely, <br /> /ti...L. <br /> PLa ¶amka '' <br /> Area Hydrologist <br /> c.
