Monika Sadler, Planner I advised that the septic does straddle the line, we can certainly add a condition to make them have a permit for a new septic and have it constructed on the new lands. Chris Burns then advised that it would need to be constructed and finalized as well as the existing one car garage will need to be demolished under permit.
