A gross disturbed area of 58.11% (24,978 ft2) currently exists on the lot and the building pad slope of 14.00% allows a disturbance of 38.21% (16,425 ft2) the lot.  The applicant has proposed a net disturbed area of approximately 39.60% (17,022 ft2), which is less than the existing disturbance. 

 

Grading and Drainage

Sewer

Public sewer is located near the property on E Glenn Drive, however a force main would be required as it is located uphill.  Septic is proposed on the southeast corner of the property.
