Draft plan reiterates that Kirby relies on on-site septic systems, cites state regulation
Summary
The draft town plan notes Kirby has no municipal wastewater or water system; the commission reiterated that on-site septic systems and state regulation (cited in the draft) govern development approvals and certificates of occupancy.
Commissioners reviewed the town-plan language on wastewater and wells and left the text that emphasizes state oversight. As a member read aloud, 'The town of Kirby has no municipal wastewater facilities. Therefore, Kirby landowners rely on on-site septic systems.' Commissioners also read the draft's citation to state rules: 'C 10 BSA chapter 64 and regulations promulgated there under.'
Members confirmed the town will continue to require that on-site septic systems meet state permits and that certificates of occupancy should not be issued until systems meet those obligations. The group discussed exhibit cross-references (soils map and on-site septic suitability) and asked staff to ensure exhibit numbering and source citations align with the regulatory text in the plan.
