Narrative
The segment of TH 101 from Lyman Boulevard to Pioneer Trail is being reconstructed to a four-
lane divided highway. The roadway is being widened and turn lanes constructed at all major
intersections. Right-of-way was acquired to accommodate the wider roadway section.
Right-of-way was acquired from the Wilson Nursery property for the wider roadway section and
turn lanes. The strip of property that was acquired had the septic tank and drain field in it. The
septic system is very old and no record of the system is on file at the City. The contractor
working on the roadway damaged the existing system when installing the new utilities. After
reviewing the system with a sewage treatment system contractor, it was determined the existing
system is too old to fix. The Wilson Nursery property does not have a viable location on site for
an alternative septic system. The property is on a hilly area and most of the soil has been
disturbed by the business operation.
The Wilson Nursery site is a business site with no living accommodations. The business is only
open during the summer months and for this reason, the septic system has very low flows. Staff
is proposing to install holding tanks at this site because no viable septic system site is available
on the property.
