B,gSIC CONSIDERATIONS 1. The property consists of roI[ing and steep sibpe topography and contains four ponds. It is located on Lai<e Kingsley with access from Klamath T"rail. 2. The properly is covered by; strongly sloping to sloping Loam soi`Is onsandyglacial drift-and glaciai:drift. This `genera[ ' group of soils presents'i,imitationsto development`because of slope steepness,.,erodability during construction,~and • soil absorbtion sewage system problems. Although>these soiis are .:permeable and-absorb sewage...rapidly, deep cased webs are needed to prevent contamination of-water supplies. Sewageeffiuent can aiso'contaminate streams and other water bodies in areas '.covered by these soils. 3. A number of areas>on proposed lots are in excess of 20` slope. Drainfields should not be piaced on s(epes above 18`," because of the hazard of side-slope seepage. ANALYSIS This site is characterized by significant steep slope areas and soils with permeability'characl~eristics hazardous'to welts and surface `waters. Many tots, although .:Large in size, present serious building and sewage disposal problems because they contain pond„and severe<slope areas. SUMMARY RECOP~IMENDATION'' I. Afi'pond areas should be_dedicated as open space. Water surface should not be included in lot area calculations. ' 2." Lots in the R-[A zoning district portion of the property should be at least gone-acre in size. Minimum [of size in the R-IB portion of`the property should be increased to at • least 40,000-:square feet. 3. Serious consideration should be given to the advisability of permitting platting of lots that are almost exciusiveIy steep slop"e, particularly with the on-site sewage disposal probiems"inherent in this area.
