I just got that ISDS application for Paul Markham with the failed septic system in Crystal River Park Subdivision. If you recall, I'd asked you about getting the 1041 done so that the septic system will be on the same lot as the house. Since it was a failed system, I'd asked if it would be ok with you all that if the application and fee was submitted, and you felt ok with the info. in the submission, if I could issue a septic permit. Have you gotten that application? Are you comfortable with the information that you've gotten? May I issue the septic system permit? Thanks, Rick... I think everyone will feel better knowing that the failed system is being replaced as quickly as possible and I appreciate your understanding in this case.

This was an "emergency" permit because your old system had failed. The I5D5 regulations state that a system must be installed on the lot that the home is existing on. In order for you to be able to install a system and be able to meet ail necessary setbacks, the system had to be installed on your vacant lot adjacent to the lot that your house was built on. Because of the requirement that the system and home be on the same property, you had to apply to Pitkin County Community Development for a lot line adjustment. You had complied with this requirement and Community Development gave us the OK to issue your emergency permit. However, the lot line adjustment_ application was never followed through to completion and has since expired. We cannot "final" your I5D5 permit without being notified by Community Development that you have completed the lot line adjustment combining the two lots. A final inspection of the system was conducted on 7/11/97. Please be advised that your I5D5 is not considered to be completed even though the final inspection has been conducted and the installation found to be satisfactory. Our efforts to work with you to bring this I5D5 permit to completion have failed. We must receive documentation that you have re -started the lot line adjustment process by March 15, 2000, and the lot line adjustment be completed by May 15, 2000 (We've been informed that it usually only takes approximately 4-6 weeks for the process to be completed). If you do not comply with these criteria, we will record a copy of this letter against your properties as public notice of non-compliance. If you start the process, but are held up for some reason and will not meet the deadline, you should contact Environmental Health, and we will determine if we will delay attaching this letter to your deed. In addition, because there are public health concerns due to your lack of compliance, we may also seek injunctive relief through the courts. Should you have questions regarding this issue, please don't hesitate to contact this department. 1111111IIIII111111IIIIIIII IIIIIIII IIIII III111111111III 444374 06/20/2000 02:46P NOTICE DAVIS SILVI 1 of 1 R 5.00 D 0.00 N 0.00 PITKIN COUNTY CO Thomas 5.

Your application was submitted to our department on July 3, 1997. During the review of your application, it was determined that additional information regarding the legality of your duplex is required. In a letter from Joanna Schaffner, Zoning Officer, dated December 9, 1996 (copy attached); it was determined that your residence has always been assessed as single family dwelling unt and that the building permit issued for the garage in 1995 indicates that the existing residence is singe -family. In addition, although two meters have been in existence since 1971, there is no indication that these meters are for separate dwellings. As indicated by Ms. Schaffner, if documentation could be provide verifying that the duplex existed prior to 1971, the duplex would be considered legal, but non -conforming and your lot line adjustment application can be processed. If I do not hear from you within the next fifteen days, no further review of the lot line adjustment will be conducted and your application will be closed. The Environmental Health Department has indicated that the final sign -off of your individual sewage disposal system permit has not occurred and will not happen until land use approval is granted. If you need any further information, I can be contacted at 970-920- 5103.

From: Mary Wood, Environmental Health Officer Through: Lee Cassin, Assistant Environmental Health Director Date: August 21, 1997 Re: Markham Lot Line Adjustment Parcel ID # 2729-292-01-028 The Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department has reviewed the details of the Markham Lot Line Adjustment application under the authority of the Pitkin County Code Title II, Land Use Code and has the following comments. Lots in the Crystal River Park subdivision are served by individual sewage disposal systems. All such systems installed within Pitkin County require septic permits issued by the Environmental Health Department, and must comply with the County's sewage disposal system regulations. The Markham property has a failed cesspool which must be replaced with an approved system in accordance with the current regulations. Cesspools are no longer allowed in the state of Colorado and must be replaced regardless of whether or not they are still functioning. Failed systems must be repaired or replaced as quickly as possible to protect public health from health hazards associated with human waste. The Markhams own lots 30 and 31 which are adjacent to one another. The existing home and failed cesspool are located on lot 30. A new sewage disposal system would not be able to be placed on lot 30 and still be able to meet current regulation setback requirements. Lot 31 provides a suitable site for a new sewage disposal system. State requirements are that the home and sewage disposal system be located on the same lot, hence the reason for the lot line adjustment. It has already been determined that lot 31 can provide a suitable site for the replacement system, and since a failed system is involved, a permit has already been issued and a new system installed, inspected and is in operation. All setback distances have been maintained, with particular attention paid to proximity of waterlines and property lines. The area of crossing of the water line and effluent line has been encased in accordance with the regulation, as well as effluent lines that will be driven over are of Schedule 40 strength. Final sign -off of the sewage disposal system permit will not occur until approval of this application is granted.

Zon.; ng was extended to . the Cr Jstal R''rer Valley in :971, and building be: nits were required at that time. You indicated that this structure was constructed is 196o. and so no building permit was recuui.red. The Pitkin County Assessor's Office =aicates that your residence has always been assessed as single =amilv. Additionally, a building pe=•-niz =or a garage was issued zo you ill 1995 and indicates that the existing residence _s single -`am` -y. The meter service order `_ora :which you submitted _rom oly Cross Electrc (copy attached), indicates oniv that two meters have been in ex'stence-since 1971. There is no indication that these meters are far senarate dwellings. j Based on present information, I cannot confirm whether vour.duplex is legal or not. If you have any information to: verify the existence of a duplex prior to 1971, the duplex would be considered legal, but non- conforming, ie, not in compliance with present zoning regulations. If the second unit was added after 1971, it would appear to be illegal-, as no record of it has yet been found.

The main water line to the lot is in the road to the East of the property. �- =.Tf The house location is on two subdivision lots, 30 and 31, totaling approximately one half acre in size. The house is located on property with mature landscaping and lawn with a gently rolling topography, sloping at'less than a 12°x6 grade toward the East Southeast.. The surrounding undisturbed areas, and typical of lots in this subdivision, consists of aspen trees and a few pine and spruce trees with an undercover of native grasses and shrubs. . r Subsurface Conditions: -_�,A sAo- vetby I.av�1 �h -t � 81g1 �o ro c k_ o Yo ACLc2�t • ` o �' 1 Gv►t� A soil profile, within the p 8p�osed absorption area and downhill of the house, was excavated to a depth of almost twelve feet.

The subsoil was a red, loamy sand of relatively uniform consistency. There were a few rocks and flagstone fragments in the subsoils, some to twelve inches in diameter. The subsurface soil conditions were evaluated with the standard percolation test procedures at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The proposed drywell test holes were excavated to varying depths and placed at the bottom of the backhoe pit using hand tools. Before presoaking was begun, the sidewalls were scraped and three inches of gravel were placed in each of the test holes to prevent the scouring of loose soils on the sidewalls when water was added. Percolation Testin Percolation testing was performed on Lot 31 in the proposed absorption pit and in an area Northeast of the existing residence on Lot 30. This testing was performed in holes dug to varying depths and at the bottom of the backhoe excavation. The bottom of the deepest test hole was located at a total depth of 142 inches below the ground surface, and the others at depths of 62 inches and 97 inches. An initial filling of the percolation test holes was done by adding approximately 6 gallons of water to the test hole the evening before the percolation test was scheduled. The percolation holes were then further pre-soaked by adding water to refill the test holes to a depth of fourteen inches above the bottom about every two hours during an eight hour period before beginning the percolation test measurements. The results of the percolation testing are presented in Table I. These results indicate the loamy sands have an average percolation rate of 22 minutes per inch, a satisfactory percolation rate under Pitkin County criteria. These results and the minimum setback distances required for horizontal separations from the water lines in the Pitkin County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulation seem to dictate a septic system absorption area with a seepage pit or drywell configuration. Limitations: This report has been prepared according to generally accepted practices in this area for use for sewage disposal design purposes. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon data obtained from our site visits at the location indicated. There is some possibility that the nature and extent of variations in the subsurface soils across the site may not have been evident at the time of this investigation, and may need additional evaluation, if further excavation reveals conditions 2 Markham Septic System Investigation and Percolation Tests 0037 Chair Mountain Drive June 26, 1997 Page 3 different from those described. This office should be advised of any unusual situations as soon as possible so that we may reevaluate our recommendations. We hope that this investigation is sufficient for your needs.
