Ashley Moncado review abstract.
Paul Guthrie: Does it implicitly say they can be considered as part of the water and waste water system for approval
of this permit?
Ashley Moncado: That is a gray area, Michael Harvey isn’t here but that and another portion in the state statute that
they provide ‘may’ regarding connection to the water or sewer and that is an area we have discussed and gone back
and forth about because this is a little vague. They leave that open ended for the counties and cities. That is
something we may have to look at and discuss.
James Lea: Is it possible to find out how these units are connected in a rural setting?
Ashely Moncado: That is more environmental health, if you were going to put a house on a property or an accessory
structure. They would have to connect to the septic and it would have to have the capacity to do that.
Perdita Holtz: A temporary setup could be several years.
Tony Blake: But if you have an RV, you don’t have to do that sort of thing. You don’t have to extend your system for
an RV.
Laura Nicholson: Does say one person, what about a spouse?
Ashley Moncado: This is permitted for one person only.
Pete Hallenbeck: Any other comments or questions? Ok, we’ll adjourn.
