The Development Review Committee considered the third submittal of the Haven Piece construction site plan on June 18 and discussed water supply, septic systems and fire‑service access.
Roman (Leo) Fontan of Investments Alliance asked the committee for PSP approval, saying the team had addressed prior comments. “We'd like to request, PSP approval at this point,” he said.
City public services and engineering staff said the site is currently proposed to rely on wells and septic with on‑site water tanks and that an existing, partially developed subdivision to the south may offer a future municipal connection. The engineer cautioned that the site must meet required separations between wells and septic systems and that a future hydrant connection could be preferable to on‑site tanks.
Fire Captain Jeremy Holderfield stressed hydrant access. “We're building houses without hydrant access, and you're putting us in a really, really tough situation,” he said. Fire staff said they would review cistern/tank proposals but reserved judgment until they could confirm whether proposed tanks and pumps would meet flow standards.
Public works and engineering staff said driveway and road‑connection permits must be obtained from Orange County because the road in front of the property (Maguire Road) is a county road and may not meet full county standards.
Next steps: the applicant will coordinate with city engineer Vladimir Simonovsky and public works on outstanding civil comments, verify OSDS (on‑site sewage disposal system) permit timing with the state Department of Health, and provide details on water tanks/cisterns and pumps for fire review. Staff said if clerical corrections are made, the plan could be distributed for signature; outstanding technical items will be addressed during civil plan review and building permitting.
Ending: DRC did not grant final signatures at the meeting; staff asked the applicant to resolve the engineering and fire comments and resubmit.
