Commissioner Brauer asked if it would be possible to go ahead with rezoning this to the <br />PUD, as no one seems to be opposed to the concept of the plan for this site. He indicated <br />it does need to be determined where the septic system will be located. <br />c <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated they will not be able to determine tonight s whether her the s e ti c <br />system can be located on this site. The developer has done soil borings <br />location of the drain field, and they don't appear to have been close enough to where the <br />actual drain field will be sited. Due to this the soil expert has indicated he does not know <br />what borings will apply to the drain field. <br />Mr. Walz stated the soil tester bored the areas where the drain field will likely be located. <br />The results of those two borings indicated it was the best location out of the eight pits that <br />were completed. There is no way without digging the pit to determine 100% viability, <br />and that is where the problem lies. <br />ChanpersotrNixf quesfronecf'tle s�aridards� t�ia� determine tfieI`ocitiorr of t <br />City = Engineer Jankowski explained the area was suspect because it a that the e <br />was ;filling in the area.
