Subject: KOA Campground on Rt. 708 (SP201000028)
The application and information for an expansion of the KOA campground on Rt. 708 has been reviewed.
Below are the comments as given previously, and as updated for currently submitted information;
Comment of 11 Oct 2010;
Please provide a plan showing the proposed improvements, especially in relation to stream buffers,
slopes, road, and parking. It is recommended that the internal road meet the standards for private roads
contained in the subdivision ordinance.
Revision 1: Comments of 6 Dec 2010;
It is recommended that the internal road meet the standards for private roads contained in the
subdivision ordinance.
There is the possibility that Board approval of a central water or sewer system may be required,
depending upon the changes that have been requested by the Health Department.
Revision 2: Comments of 20 Jan 2011;
Based on the "Existing Bath House Septic Schematic with 6 new cabins added ", the sewer system
meets the definition of a central system as given in County Code Section 16 -101. To extend the
system, the applicant needs to apply to the Clerk of the Board according to section 16 -102. The
applicant will need to provide a letter and preliminary plans. From the schematic supplied, I could
determine the need for Board approval, but I could not place the layout of the system on the graphic
below. From the schematic, I have roughly tried to place the drainfield locations in green. Somewhere
on this map, there should also be an existing bath house septic tank, pump, splitter box, existing septic
tank for the shower house, proposed new septic tank, reserve drainfield, and distribution laterals
connecting all these items, the RV lots, the existing cabins, and the proposed cabins. In addition, there
should be well, or wells, and any pumps, tanks and lines associated with that, including any for the
pool. I have roughly drawn in paved and gravel areas, existing cabins, and new cabin locations in red,
but please have the applicant correct these if necessary.
