Applicant told to follow inspection steps and secure septic, utility approvals before occupancy
Summary
Board members and staff told applicant Debbie Mlan to obtain required building permits, follow an instruction sheet for inspections and ensure septic and utility connections are acceptable before occupying a 640-square-foot dwelling approved by variance 26-BA1.
Before approving the variance, board members asked whether the applicant had contacted utilities and the health department about septic. The applicant said she had contacted Duke Electric and the water company and that septic suitability had been checked. "I will follow procedures, get all the permits, have it inspected and everything," the applicant said during the hearing.
A staff speaker told the board there is an instruction sheet that lists the steps the applicant must take, including which inspections to request and whom to contact. Board members also discussed foundation options and said the county inspector may require concrete or other foundation measures depending on inspection findings. The board approved the variance with the explicit reminder that permits and inspections must be completed prior to occupancy.
