Star Valley Ranch to assume septic permitting from Lincoln County; ordinance tabled for comprehensive draft
Summary
The Council discussed taking septic permitting and inspection authority from Lincoln County, targeting a July 1 implementation if ordinance and application drafts are finalized; the second reading was tabled to allow concurrent completion of ordinance and application.
Building Official Scott Cazier and Town Clerk Herd briefed the Council on plans for the Town to assume septic permitting and inspection responsibilities from Lincoln County. Staff have prepared a draft ordinance and permit application but said additional work is needed on system-type requirements (advanced/Presby vs. standard), soil-type variations across town, and ensuring the application language accurately reflects Town requirements.
Cazier noted at least 14 new building permits are pending, making timing significant; he said a July 1 implementation target is feasible if ordinance work proceeds promptly. The Council agreed to table the second reading of the related ordinance so the more comprehensive draft ordinance and permit application could be completed and reviewed together; a $350 septic permit fee (conservatively estimated at 20 permits) will need adoption by resolution to fund anticipated processing.
