Associate Planner Wald explained it would depend on demand, and the City's ability to service the area, so it is difficult to say. Commissioner Brauer suggested the concerned neighbors keep their ears open for more on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment public heatings. Mr. Rowbotham asked how large of a holding tank this would be, and how often it would be pumped. Mr. Stradlund indicated it has a drainage field. He stated the system he is looking at is similar to a residential system with a larger holding tank and larger drainage field. He stated with a common septic there is also greater separation from the wells, which is an added benefit. Commissioner Brauer stated it might reassure the neighbors if Mr. Stradlund could bring in a plan for landscaping on and around the septic area. Mr. Stradlund indicated it would pretty much be a green field, but he can show the neighbors. He stated there is also an example in Burns that they can look at if they choose. Dale Lentz, 17800 Fluorine Street NW questioned why the City is letting someone put houses on such small lots, and why they are allowing 38 lots on 40 acres. Associate Plarmer Wald indicated the cul-de-sac is not connected to that cul-de-sac, showing how it comes off Erkium Street and 177th Avenue, not Fluorine and 177th Lane. Mr. Lentz stated is other question is why the City is letting someone put houses on such small lots, and why they are allowing 38 lots on 40 acres. Chairperson Nixt advised that in order for the applicant to develop 16 lots now it is a requirement of the review that he show how the rest of the land might be developed in an 'as if' proposal. He stated that before more than 16 lots could be developed there would have to be City sewer and water, as well as another review process similar to this one. -277-
