Rock Creek commission clarifies buildability: Type 1 required for post-1996 splits
Summary
Deputy Clerk Ashley Rauschnot asked whether split parcels must use Type 1 subsurface sewage treatment; the Commission confirmed that Ordinance 70 (4.01.03) requires Type 1 for land split after 1996 while pre-existing parcels may qualify for Type 3 systems.
At the Oct. 21 meeting, Deputy Clerk Ashley Rauschnot asked for clarification about what constitutes "buildable" land under Ordinance 70, Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems. Commissioners and staff confirmed that section 4.01.03 requires Type 1 systems on parcels created by splits after 1996; parcels that predate that cutoff may be eligible for Type 3 systems.
No formal vote was taken; the clarification is intended to guide staff responses to public inquiries about soil borings and septic-system requirements.
