My information is that the board turned this application down because they were concerned about compaction on the site. If my information is correct, a percolation test was run before and after a vehicle parked on the site, with a rate of .66 and .62 inches per minute. It is my opinion that in this sandy soil, this difference is within the range of error on this test and there is no actual difference do to this one time event, especially on this sandy soil. I offer this opinion for your consideration if you are reconsidering this application. Sincerely, Terrence R.
