JoEllen Hurr explained that Irene Leur has requested to subdivide 18 acres, on Medina Rd.,

parcel on the south side of Medina Rd. She stated that Parcel A, on the north side, meets
soil requirements for a septic system and has a 150 ft. setback for farm buildings.
Parcel B on the north side has 2.33 acres of contiguous innovative septic soil but due
to the fact that there is no additional acreage on the south side the Planning Commission

requirement. She also stated that the Planning Commission had requested that the app-
licant secure an adequate septic system design for Parcel B.
Thomas Anderson asked if the city could legally add a condition stating that no variances,
for other purposes,could be granted.
Ron Batty explained that such a condition could be added but it would not preclude an
owner from requesting variances.

the septic system needs to be placed in a particular area.
