PLANNING 10-29-03
The Board discussed septic system requirements in the Urban Growth Area. Richard Ziesenis, Director of Environmental Health for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, conducted a presentation regarding minimum lot sizes for septic systems. Linda Finger, Director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Department, was also present for the discussion. Jones suggested a concept that would give landowners more freedom to build more homes on their land, provided the new homes would be arranged so that city sewers, streets and more homes could be added in the future. The Board directed Finger and Ziesenis to come up with regulatory options for accomplish ing this goal without threatening public health. No action was taken.
McElhaney moved for adjournment. Jones seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
