SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Mooers. Commissioners, do you have any <br />questions for Mr. Mooers? Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:The only issue that sent up a flag for me was the wastewater one. <br />And, funny, I€m going through my Background Report here and I can€t find it but it <br />seems like I remember it saying that the Department of Health said that the individual <br />septic system is only good for two units, not for three. And then reading that you€re <br />going to, if you got the SMA Permit, you€re going to thereafter apply for a variance for <br />three units. Am I getting that out of nowhere or what? <br />MOOERS:No, we have not -. It wasn€t till just recently when Mr. Darrow <br />indicated that the Department of Health said that no more than two units off a septic <br />system would be allowed. And, so, we are, yeah, clearly, the way the condition is written <br />isthatwhateverthewastewatertreatmentsystem,ithastomeetwiththeapprovalofthe <br />Department of Health; and that needs to be revisited. There was a septic system <br />approved by the Department of Health by the, when the American Exchange, whatever <br />their entity was that owned it, at that time for a single-family dwelling. So it may very <br />well have to be revisited with the Department of Health; but whatever system is installed <br />will have to meet the Department of Health approval. <br />GRAHAM:Okay. So do we have correspondence from the Department of <br />Health? So far we don€t have one on this one? <br />MOOERS:The only correspondence I saw is that they said they had no record <br />of the septic system. And, so, I sent a response to them saying that they had approved it <br />and gave them the engineer€s name, gave them the Applicant€s name. But subsequent to <br />that, I talked with Mr. Darrow and he said that they have concerns about the number of <br />units. And, so, that whole issue has to be revisited and meet with their approval. <br />GRAHAM:So, I guess it€s a what do you do now, what do you later issue.‚ <br />For me, like obviously the wastewater is an issue when you€re just mauka of a very <br />special beach park. And I presume if the Department of Health has rules that say two <br />units only, that the rules are there for some reason. So I don€t feel good about approving <br />a three-unit project unless I know the wastewater will be handled in a proper way. And <br />what you€re telling me, I think, is that if the Department of Health won€t go along with it, <br />you€re going to have to do something different anyway to make sure that they will go <br />along with it. <br />MOOERS:I think it€s, the condition says install a septic system with leech <br />field meeting with the approval of the Department of Health and the Certificate of <br />Occupancy will only be approved upon compliance with this. So that that issue does <br />have to be resolved. I can€t tell you what the resolution of that issue would be today, <br />other than the fact that it has to meet with the Department of Health approval. <br />GRAHAM:And the only -. <br />5 <br /> <br />
