Submit the results of percolation tests or other methods of soil evaluation used to determine the suitability of the soil for septic systems with conventional drain fields, if septic systems are proposed to be used in the development of the subdivision.

See section 14 -317 for more information on the requirements of this document. 13. [14 -400 & 14 -403] Minimum lot requirements & Lot frontage. Each lot within a subdivision shall satisfy the minimum lot requirements established in the zoning ordinance, and each lot within a subdivision shall have frontage on an existing or proposed street. Lot Y2 does not have the required 250' (existing public street) or 150' (internal public or private street) lot frontage as required by Section 10.4. Given the existing frontage limitations of TMP 87 -63B, the best way to obtain the required frontage is through a request for approval of a private street under sections 14 -232 and 14 -234. a) A request for a private street within the existing easement across TMP 87 -63 will require the owner of that parcel to be party to the request, planning commission approval of the request as demonstrated in Section 14- 232(A), and waivers of Section 14 -404 for both TMP 87 -63 and Lot Y1 unless the existing driveways are closed. b) A request for a private street using the existing driveway across Lot Y1 can be approved administratively under Section 14- 232(8)2. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. It appears that Option B above is shown on the plat; if this is what is proposed; please revise the "New 50' Access Easement" label to read "New 50' Private Street Easement ". 14. [14- 404(A)] Single point of access required. Each lot, other than a corner lot within the development areas, shall have reasonable access to the building site from only one street, shared driveway or alley established at the same time as the subdivision; provided that, if the subdivision is in the rural areas, each lot created from the subsequent division of any lot within the subdivision shall enter only onto such street(s) established at the same time as the original subdivision and shall have no immediate access onto any other public street. The proposed layout provides two points of access; this can be alleviated with the options discussed in comment #14. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Please clarify if a private street serving Lots Y1 and Y2 as described in comment #13 Option B is what is proposed at this time. If so, please add a note stating that Lot Y2 shall access the public street only through the new private street established with this subdivision. 15. [14 -412] Standards for private streets only. In addition to the minimum design requirements set forth is section 14 -410, the private street request must meet the minimum design requirements of this section. a) A request for a private street within the existing easement across TMP 87 -63 must meet the requirements of section 14- 412(A)2. b) A request for a private street using the existing driveway across Lot Y1 must meet the requirements of section 14 -412 (A)1. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. If a private street as described in #13 Option B above is proposed, please add a note to the plat stating that the proposed private street meets the requirements of Section 14- 412(A)1. 16. [14- 302(B)1] General information. The plat must include the initial application date as well as the date of all revision submittals; please add the current (November 8, 2012) and any future revision dates to this plat.
