The purpose of this variance request is to seek relief from Chapter 136 Section 11 — Holding Tanks. The existing property currently has six(6) bedrooms, requiring a total holding tank storage capacity of 5,000 gallons. Currently, the site is equipped with two 2,000-gallon tanks for a total storage capacity of 4,000. All other aspects of the system comply with code requirements. The property is used only seasonally, and the current family that has owned the property for several decades has an excellent track record of having the tanks pumped when the 50% alarm is triggered.
