Commissioner Cleveland stated that she knows there are experts on central septic <br />systems, and she knows they are being used, but she is still a little concerned about it. <br />She indicated it would not hurt for the City to have a punchlist for the developers on this, <br />since it is not a standard septic system. She asked if the City had the staff to monitor <br />testing. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski indicated that he would concur that they do need to hold these <br />systems to higher standards of operation and inspection than they would on a regular <br />single-family home. He stated that they are going through this for the first time, but they <br />do have a solid plan for managing the system. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer indicated that this cluster development and others brought forth <br />raise questions that the City Council need to address overall. He stated that some of <br />those questions and issues are: <br /> Transitioning <br />· Sidewalks; if these neighborhoods are envisioned as being urban at some time, <br /> sidewalks should be considered. <br />· Traffic and access; it is likely they will see a number of these on difficult lots that will <br /> have a single access. <br />· Sewer; what kind of bond will the City require from the association to ensure that if <br /> the sewer fails, the City is not stuck with the cost of repair. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy indicated that he believes they will see a lot more of these with <br />a cul-de-sac. He stated that when you look at the plat, from Erkiam down to the main <br />access there could possibly be two shorter cul-de-sacs. <br /> <br />Motion Carded. Voting Yes: Vice Chairperson Johnson, Commissioners Levine, <br />Shepherd, Brauer, Cleveland, and Van Scoy. Voting No: None. Absent: Chairperson <br />Nixt. <br /> <br />-297- <br /> <br /> <br />
