Sean Millard stated that he has no revised plan from the surveyor. He did stated that if he did move the boundary line for Lot #2 up the hill to accommodate the septic plan, he would lose some acres on Lot 3. He then would be able to see the house on Lot 2 from his house.
Bruce Cox stated that the Commission's intent is to lose the dog leg so that it is in conformance and to keep the septic systems on the same lot as the house. deForest Bearse stated that her drawing was to keep the septic areas on the lots that need them. It is easier to keep them on the same lot to avoid future problems.
Sean Millard stated that he wants the ability to put Lot 3 into current use. deForest Bearse stated that the dog leg does not comply with the regulations.
