Lots 1 and 2 of Block One and Lot 1 of Block Two, would be able to be developed for <br /> residential use without major topographic alteration. <br /> 5. Lot 2 of Block 2 may require some topographical alterations for development due to the <br /> slope. However, the slope would not inhibit all development. Lot 2 has been expanded <br /> from the original proposed to include more developable area. <br /> 6. There is adequate space within the building envelope on each proposed property for a <br /> primary and alternate individual sewage treatment system(ISIS). The soils are reported <br /> to be"Very Suitable"for septic tank and drainfield applications,but soil borings were not <br /> provided and would need to be done prior to septic installation. <br /> 7.
