Engineer Blanchard for bringing projects of this type to the
attention of the District Board and encouraged him to continue to

APPROVAL OF EXEMPTION FROM SEWER CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
OAKHILL SUBDIVISION, SECTION 3
County Engineer, Wyatt Blanchard, stated Mr. G. G. Harward,
has requested authorization to divide the remaining portion of
the tract of land into two parcels, each being in excess of eight
acres with a large percentage of the land being wetlands. He
stated after review, Staff would recommend granting the exemption
due to the size of the lots and the percentage of wetlands which
would make it impossible to install sewer.
Mr. G. G. Harward, owner of the property, stated the land
was purchased in the late 70 I s with a di vision of the good
portion into 14 individual lots. The remaining wooded lands are
not usable due to wetlands; however, two small sandhills,
approximately 1/2 to 1 acre in size, do exist and could be used
for installation of one septic tank on each sandhill. An
individual would like to purchase the land for storage of
equipment with the possibility of placing a mobile home on one of
the tracts. He requested exemption from the sewer requirement.
Motion: After discussion of not being able to install sewer 0
lines on the property, District Commissioner Retchin MOVED,
SECONDED by Vice-Chairman Greer to grant the sewer exemption as
requested. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
