any more reservations for commercial events.

D. PUBLIC HEARING
-
Discussion and possible direction to staff re: a Variance Application to install a new
alternative wastewater system at 121 Dipsea Road, Kerry and Ghazinouri Kryzynowek,
Owners, Account No. 7980.
This variance application is for a new alternative wastewater system with a maximum and average daily flow rate of 300 and 200 gallons, respectively. The proposed wastewater system is designed for a new single family residential home with up to 1,900 square feet of habitable space. Three variances are proposed: Section 4.15.100 Site Criteria - Setbacks to eliminate a 5- foot setback to allow parking over the dispersal field and to reduce a front line property setback to a leach field from five to two feet and under Section 4.19.010 Use of Alternative Wastewater Systems Designs to utilize a recirculating textile filter.
The proposed components include a new 1,500 gallon septic tank, 810 gallon sump tank, recirculating textile filter (Advantex AX20) pretreatment device, and dual raised bed dispersal fields. Neighbor notifications were sent timely and no comments were received from the Regional Quality Control Board.
President Boucke noted that, as a condition of approval, pervious material should be used to allow parking over the leach lines.
With this modification, Director Nelsen made a motion to approve draft Resolution No. WW 2019-09 Granting a Variance to the Requirements of the Stinson Beach County Water District Wastewater Treatment Regulations Ordinance No. 2014-04 to Utilize an Alternative Wastewater System and to Reduce Site Criteria Setback Requirements for property located at 121 Dipsea Road, Stinson Beach. Vice President Baskin seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by President Boucke, Vice President Baskin and Directors Cross, Nelsen and Zell. -
