Re: G. Benton Patterson--Triangle Trailer Court
Extension of Public Sewer to Serve Trailer Court
Dear Ms . Neher:
I request you to set this matter on the agenda of the Board
of Supervisors for hearing on May 13 , 1987 . I have received
correspondence from the Albemarle County Health Department, a
copy of Mr. Rice's letter of April 8 , 1987 in enclosed herein,
stating that the current septic system which has been in
operation for years is leaking and is creating a health hazard.
The Health Department deems this to be an immediate health hazard
and of an emergency nature.
I have spoken with Mr. Rice and Mr. Collins at the Health
Department, Mr. Bill Norris, your watershed management official,
and people from the Albemarle County Service Authority regarding
the extension of public sewer to serve the trailer court. The
Service Authority has public sewerlines across the street from
the trailer court property.
I am informed that the lines cannot be extended by the
Service Authority because my property is outside the area that
the Service Authority serves. I am making a specific request
that you approve the immediate extension of the sewerlines to
serve the trailer court property which has twenty-one (21)
trailers on the property. The majority of these trailer renters
are subsidized by public subsidy at this time.
My engineer , Mr. Mark Osborne, is studying the engineering
work and, from his preliminary observations and field work ,
believes all the trailers can be served by gravity lines. He
will be with me at your meeting on May 13 , 1987 .
I would appreciate your consideration of this matter at your
earliest opportunity so that I can satisfy the concerns of the
Health Department and adjoining property owners .
Ms . Lettie E. Neher, Clerk

Dear Mr. Patterson:
As a follow-up to our recent conversations regarding the septic problems at
Triangle Trailer Park, I have drawn the enclosed site plan indicating trailers,
existing septic systems, streams, and areas of septic leakage. Please understand
that under the present conditions, the leaking septic systems pose a health hazard
and thus, requires that the trailers connected to these systems must be disconnected.
I have, however, shown a "proposed" drainfield area for possible installation
of drainfield lines provided that there is nothing located in the 75 foot by 100 foot
area that would render the area unsuitable for the installation of drainfield. The
"boundaries" of this area, based on minimum setback requirements, only allows the
installation of 9 ditches, 100 feet in length for a total of 2,700 square feet.
Under the present design criteria for drainfield at 900 square feet per mobile home,
this proposed drainfield area is sufficient for only three mobile homes. The remaining
mobile homes will have to be disconnected or other means of sewage disposal (i.e. public
sewer) must be obtained.
We appreciate the cooperation you have extended and hope this matter can be
resolved as soon as possible. Please call on me should you need our assistance with
this problem (972-6259) .
Sincerely,
•
