- Gene Young commented “The donor lot appears to be large enough to allow for the creation of a lot that meets the 30,000 square foot requirment of Article 400, section 412.A, and the applicant provides no
reasoning for failing to do so. We object to the granting of this variance.” Signed 3/21/25

- Gene Young commented “The applicant is planning two individual sewage disposal systems in the request for variance from article 600 section 602.C.3. This variance request raises the question of why is the applicant not connecting these new units to the existing community disposal system? Per-haps the existing system is at or near its safe capacity considering its location in an Aquifer Protec-tion Overlay District. We suggest that the existing system be inspected by a qualified inspector, and if it is adequate to accept the additional load, that the waiver be denied. If it is not, upgrades should be required. “Signed 3/21/25
