Application has been submitted to health department for well and septic.
What could some of the issues be for neighbors’ complaints: Drainage has been taken
care of by using clean fill to even the property. Property has not been raised suddenly it
has been slowly done, so the neighbors should be able to see how the property
drainage will occur.
Neighbors were concerned about seeing the project and the noise. Drainage is towards
the back, now draining south on the site.
