Project Description
The applicant requests Coastal Permit approval to remove an existing septic system and to install a new 1,500-gallon septic tank, 810-gallon sump pump, and approximately 240 feet of new leach field lines on a developed residential property located in the unincorporated community of Inverness. The system would be largely located below grade, with only minor projections above grade necessary to access and maintain the system. The septic tank and sump pump would have the following setbacks: 71 feet from the southern front property line; 22 feet from the eastern side property line; more than 100 feet from the western side property line; and 83 feet from the northern rear property line. The leach field would have the following setbacks: 100 feet from the southern front property line; 25 feet from the eastern side property line; more than 100 feet from the western side property line; and 27 feet from the northern rear property line.
Various site improvements would also be entailed in the proposed development, including the removal of an existing deck and stairwell, the removal and replacement of an existing propane tank, and the removal of four trees as well as new driveway improvements and associated retaining walls, a 337-square-foot addition to an existing residence, a 644 square foot detached residential accessory building, and a 451 square foot carport that would result in a building area of 3,850 square feet, a floor area of 3,399 square feet, and a floor area ratio of four percent on the 87,860 square foot lot.
Coastal Permit approval is required pursuant to Section 22.68.060.G (Water wells and septic systems) because the project entails the removal of an existing septic system and the construction of a new, replacement septic system.
