25-047 — Residential in Columbia, TN

Applicant seeks an exception to allow a subsurface sewage disposal system on a 0.35-acre lot, which is below the standard 1-acre minimum requirement in the City's Engineering Standards and Specifications. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has already permitted a 1-bedroom septic system on this property, but discrepancies exist between the permit and actual plans (including driveway relocation and apparent 2-bedroom structure), and Columbia Wastewater has not supported the exception, citing concerns about precedent and lack of proof that gravity sewer extension is infeasible.
