MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT • • Meridian City Council Meeting April 4, 2000 Pepe 11 Anderson: Mr. President, we had decided to move the Bledsoe request to six- something. Item 6, (Item 16.) Public Hearing: VAR 00-004 Variance in requirements of hook-up to City services by Sarah and Michael Bledsoe: Bird: Item 6, a public hearing, variance in requirements in hook-up to City services by Sarah and Michael Bledsoe. I will open the public hearing and staff, any report? Hawkins-Clark: Mr. President, members of the Council, the application comes to us for a variance request. There is an existing single-family residence. This is zoned R-4. It is located south of Ustick between Ten Mile and Linder, and they are requesting in order to put an addition onto their house, in order to accommodate the parents, they're recessing not to require to hook up to City services and to remain on their well and septic. It would be approximately 405 lineal feet from the sewer stub at the street that borders their driveway in order to hook up, and so they are requesting the variance. Comments have been submitted by Central District Health Department which you should have in your packets. Thanks. Bird: Any other staff? Okay. Applicant, if they would like to - deWeerd: Mr. President, I had a quick question for Brad. Do you know if they've applied for the accessory use with Central Health? Hawkins-Clark: Councilwoman deWeerd, I do not. I'm not aware if that has happened. Voth: Council, my name is Nick Voth and I am the builder for Sarah and Michael Bledsoe. We have not - Bird: Sir, would you spell your last name for the record, please? Voth: V,O-T-H. We have as yet have not applied for a permit. We did not realize that that would be necessary for the addition. So we ask that when you hear this if - we just received these Findings today ourselves. I just received this tonight. We would ask that upon an application if they do approve for saying that the septic is large enough for the dwelling and the addition that it would be approved and it is not -they will not allow us, judging from their findings to expand the system. Therefore, we would have to be forced to hook up to City services. So that's my understanding from this. Like t say, we just received this tonight, and we didn't realize that an application needed to be made. We understood that we just had to apply for a variance. Bird: Questions? Any questions for Mr. Voth? Okay, thank you. Anybody else like to testify? Council, any other questions or anything? deWeerd: Mr. President, I guess I would have a question for Staff. How long does this process -are you familiar with the process, and should we table this until we know the outcome? Meridian City Council Meeting April 4, 2000 Page 12 Hawkins-Clark: The outcome of - deWeerd: The outcome of the evaluation on the septic system if it's adequate to serve the addition? Hawkins-Clark: Have to defer to the City Engineer on that. Smith: Mr. President, Council members, Councilwoman deWeerd, I don' know. I haven't been involved in that review process with Central District Health, so I really don't know what the time period is for them to do whatever they need to do. I would assume that they've got on file the criteria for the septic tank and drain field that was installed at the time the house was constructed, and they would more than likely just have to evaluate the dimensions of the system as far as the drain Meld is concerned and the sine of the septic tank to ensure that the capacity is there for the use that is intended. I don't imagine that it would be much of a process. Bird: Any other questions? Applicant, okay. Bledsoe: My name is Sarah Bledsoe and I'd like to comment on this process. We're foster parents, and every year, annually, we have to have the health department inspect our septic system at our old residence. The inspection is not complex at all. The environmental engineer from the health department comes to the property, he reviews the specifications as the City Engineer just stated, and it's either / or. It works or it doesn't. So we would like to have the approval of the variance pending that so that we don't have to wait to be heard again. Obviously, if it's not adequate, we do have to hook up. So it's not that it would need to be heard by the Council again. We feel that it's spelled out pretty clearly what our alternatives are. So you can make a ruling pending the outcome of the study, and the study is very simple. It's very simple. They go according to the number of people that reside in the house, the estimated water usage, it's really simple. That's all. Bird: Questions? Thank you. Anderson: Mr. President, to quote our Public Works Director, we're not actively out looking for new customers for our sewer system, so knowing that if Central District Heal#h does not approve this accessory use application that they have no other choice to hook up, I would go ahead and made emotion - Bird: Just a second. We've got to close the public hearing. deWeerd: The motion was to close the public hearing, right? Anderson: I would go ahead and make a motion to close that public hearing. McCandless: Second. Meridian City Council Meting /lpril a, aooo Page 13 Bird: All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES Bird: Okay, Mr. Anderson. Anderson: I would also make a motion that we approve the variance for requirement to hook up to City services for Sarah and Michael Bledsoe. deWeerd: Subject to ... Anderson: Subject to the outcome of the Central District Health Department accessory use application. deWeerd: Second. Bird: With the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Facts? Anderson: Who is making this motion? Yeah. All that stuff. Instruct the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law. Bird: Do we have a second? deWeerd: Second.
