way. Mr. Grotzke had written this up as an emergency. It was not an <br /> • emergency. People are living there and the system had failed. But, it was <br /> considered an increase in flow because they were asking for an additional <br /> bedroom. He just wanted to show Mr. Grotzke a drawing because he was <br /> unsure if he had seen it before. This was the drawing that the same family <br /> had given it to the board when they had done the master bath and master <br /> bedroom addition. This room here was labeled as a family room. The <br /> previous septic application they had and design plans were three- <br /> bedrooms. <br /> Mr. Grotzke agreed with that. (He says something else. But, 1 cannot <br /> understand what he is saying.) <br /> Mr. Harrington responded that the room's use was not as a primary <br /> bedroom so the board could not count it as a bedroom. Even though it met <br /> the criteria of it. It had to be used as a primary bedroom. <br /> Mr. Grotzke couldn't apply that now. He couldn't come in with a new plan <br /> and call it a family room and not have it pass as bedroom. Right? <br /> Mr. Harrington stated that it would have to have a six-foot opening on it. <br /> • Mr. Grotzke felt that this was new to him. It was something new and he <br /> would never have imagined that they would not consider this a bedroom <br /> going on today. You learn something every day. <br /> Mr. Ball stated that the problem was that they had to approach as a family <br /> room. <br /> Mr. Harrington interrupted Mr. Ball and stated that the board didn't do <br /> anything. This was how the plans were presented to the board by the <br /> homeowners. <br /> Mr. Grotzke stated that initially it was an existing master bedroom at the <br /> top of the stairs. So they decided to pop this out and create a master <br /> bedroom suite instead of a master bedroom. He was aware of this change. <br /> To him as an engineer irrespective of how the house was labeled he <br /> would have considered it as a bedroom. That was how they differ. It could <br /> be used as a bedroom. He felt that irrespective of what was there now <br /> they were going to use it whether it conformed to the board's <br /> requirements or not. What they were proposing would address all issues <br /> and it would be far better for the effluent quality. It would make the issue <br /> of three or four bedrooms moot because they would address the issue as <br /> sits on the ground today. <br /> 29 <br />
