Appeal Information Sheet

Appeal item 1

Code Section

BCG 03-11

Requires

The requirements are for easements to be a width of 10'. However, the proposed easements in some areas of the site plan show to be 5' in width.

Reconsideration text: "Depth of the footings and depth of the sewer pipes with the distances are all located on the site plan at 3 different locations. We understand that depending on the depth and proximity of pipe to the footing, the area may need a special inspection for soil compaction."

Code Modification or Alternate Requested

The intent is to get approved to have an easement of less than 10' on this site for the new proposed utilities.

Proposed Design

Reconsideration text: "Although we are using open trench excavation for installation, maintenance for the sewer pipes will not use open trench excavation.

Reason for alternative

This will allow us to provide better housing units and designed for affordable housing.

Appeal Decision

Granted provided: Inspector to verify depths during inspections. Compaction and special inspection may be required if depths impact the footing/foundation.

"The Administrative Appeal Board finds with the conditions noted, that the information submitted by the appellant demonstrates that the approved modifications or alternate methods are consistent with the intent of the code; do not lessen health, safety, accessibility, life, fire safety or structural requirements; and that special conditions unique to this project make strict application of those code sections impractical.
