Mr. Von Thuna would like to sell his property and in order to do this will need to either fix his failed Title V septic system or connect to sewer. The current system is non-functioning; however, no one is residing in the home. Portions of the home fall within the 50 to 100 foot buffer zone and the home will act as an erosion control barrier for much of the work. The sewer line is a 6-inch gravity fed line and will range between 4 to 6 feet below the surface at about a 2% grade. The timeline for the project is estimated to be 1 to 3 weeks, depending on material availability and the time of year. Mr. Langseth asked if grass will be replaced when filling in the trench. Ms. Trudeau responded that the applicant will be replacing in-kind with rhododendrons and that most of the property is not currently grassy. Ms. Samuels asked how the patio will act as an erosion control and Ms. Trudeau responded that the patio is a step up so it will act as a barrier. On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Ms. Samuels, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to issue a negative determination with conditions.

The screen is only a temporary measure as it was not working sufficiently. On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Ms. Samuels, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to close the hearing.
