In response to Commission Siracusas inquiries, Mr. Yuen said that cesspools come under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Health and there is a 5-bedroom limit on cesspools or individual wastewater systems, unless another one is installed. He noted, however, that there is no limit on the number of people. Commissioner Graham commented he felt dealing with the number of people should be dealt with as a policy item in the future, but he saw no reason to impose a limitation of less than ten guests on the application today. The applicants, Jerry Gardner and Marklyn Wilson, were in attendance. Ms. Wilson commented that they did not formally notify the community association of their application; however, they know almost everyone in the association so she did not see notification as a problem. She then requested they be allowed ten guests inasmuch as they plan toadvertisetheirB&Baswheel-chairaccessibleandchildfriendly,notingnormallytherewould be two people in each room. Mr. Gardner informed Commissioner Siracusa said that they do not plan to clear any more of the forest as they have a large grassed section behind the existing home to use for the orchard. There was no one from the public wishing to testify on the agenda item. In response to Mr. Yuens inquiry, Ms. Wilson said the upstairs rooms are approximately 14 by 16 and the downstairs room is 15 by 25 feet. It was moved by Commissioner Springer and seconded by Commissioner Graham that the application be approved based on and incorporating the Planning Directors recommendation, as well as discussion held today.
