Septic-variance public hearing set for Lakeshore Drive property after engineer describes constraints
Summary
An engineer representing owners at 135 Lakeshore Drive described three variances needed for a septic replacement; the board scheduled a June 9, 2026 public hearing to consider the request.
Tony DeFranco, a licensed professional engineer, said a proposed septic replacement for 135 Lakeshore Drive requires three variances because the parcel is undersized and constrained by two existing wells and setback rules. "They've got 2 wells on this small parcel," DeFranco told the board, and he said the leach field corner sits about 5.44 feet from the property line.
DeFranco explained that modern plastic 'infiltrator' technology reduces trench length by about 25% and allowed a design with three laterals, but setbacks to wells and the leach field location still require regulatory relief. The board moved and approved scheduling a public hearing on the septic-variance application for June 9, 2026; the hearing will allow public comment and detailed engineering review before any variance is granted.
