Chairperson Bauer asked why the long side is running parallel to the road rather than having the <br /> short side parallel to the road. He asked if that would better meet the requirements. <br /> Mr. Hansen replied that if the building is pushed back to the front of the primary structure there <br /> would be no way to fall within the setback guidelines for the septic system elements along with <br /> additional tree clearing that would be needed. He stated that he does not plan to have a separate <br /> driveway from the street because of a line of mature oaks that he would like to keep and the location <br /> of power lines. He acknowledged that one of the main reasons for the front setback is for the <br /> appeal of the neighborhood and noted that he plans to include architectural elements to compliment <br /> the house and look nice. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked if the drain field is a mound system or normal underground drain <br /> field. He asked where that would be moved if the system failed and the age of the drain field. <br /> Mr.Hansen replied that it is an underground drain field from 1992. He stated that it was inspected <br /> in 2018 when they bought the property and was up to Code and proper at that time. He stated that <br /> if there were a failure, he would hopefully utilize that area, if possible, for the field. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy commented that it looked like the building could be moved back to meet <br /> the requirements, but to access the building it would require driving over the septic piping, so he <br /> now understands the need. <br /> Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Gengler, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Anderson, Gengler, Hunt, <br /> Peters, VanScoy, and Walker. Voting No: None.

Chairperson Bauer noted that it could be dug up and replaced in the same location. <br /> Motion Carried.
