Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said package treatment would be allowed when an existing septic system failed, but the planners did not want any new lots with failing septic systems.
Mr. Jones had removed the requirement that each lot have an approved location for a primary and secondary drainfield. He suggested they let the Health Department determine if a backup location should be required.
“The Health Department has said it will be driven by our ordinance,” Mr. Reynolds said.
The planners insisted that language go back in the ordinance.
Mr. Jones had removed the requirement that there be a public hearing for subdivision approval.
“I took that out because it is not required,” Mr. Jones said. “It will Streamline the process. However, if you want to make it more difficult, put it in.”
“We have to have a public hearing,” member Mitzi Young said. The planners agreed to require a public hearing.
The original ordinance had required that the two sites for drainfields be large enough to serve a three-bedroom house. Mr. Jones said that requirement was “exclusionary.”
The planners left Mr. Reynolds with the responsibility to determine if the language changed the conditions of the ordinance so much that it would have to be readvertised.
Late Monday afternoon Mr. Reynolds advised the planners that he felt the changes were great enough to require the ordinance be readvertised.
