• • <br /> DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT <br /> POLICY REGARDING LIFE-EXTENDING CONSTRUCTION <br /> effective March 1, 1988 <br /> SUBJECT: On-Site Sewage Disposal Requirements Applicable to <br /> Life-Extending Building Construction. <br /> SCOPE: This policy is applicable in those circumstances where the <br /> repair or improvement of an on-site sewage disposal <br /> system is warranted in conjunction with life-extending <br /> building construction. This policy is applicable <br /> County-wide to residential structures only, and is <br /> intended to supplement existing Ordinances. In all <br /> cases, connection to sanitary sewerage shall be required <br /> consistent with the provisions of Section 6-4.102 of the <br /> Los Altos Hills Municipal Code instead of Section B11-16 <br /> of the Santa Clara County Ordinance Code. <br /> CATEGORY I - Major Expansion and/or Major Intensification of <br /> Use. <br /> Where construction associated with an existing structure will result in <br /> a major expansion of the structure (greater than 500 cumulative square <br /> feet of all additions) or where such construction will result in a major <br /> intensification of the use of the property, the on-site sewage disposal <br /> system shall meet the minimum prevailing sewage disposal requirements <br /> of the Santa Clara County Ordinance Code. Provided, however, each <br /> condition made applicable to a "minor expansion" below also shall be <br /> applicable to a "major expansion." <br /> CATEGORY II - Minor Expansion. <br /> Where construction associated with an existing structure will result in <br /> a minor expansion of the structure (500 cumulative square feet or less of <br /> all additions), the following conditions are applicable: <br /> A. Require on-site inspection by Environmental Health Services (EHS) <br /> to determine adequacy and safe functioning of existing sewage <br /> disposal system. <br /> B. Require exposure and pumping of existing septic tank except <br /> EXHIBIT "A" <br />
