<DIV>Talk to someone with a cabin in Worley and you will understand how
unfair all the regulations are. A lot of the homes on the lake are
older, been in the family for generations. Now the government comes in
and wants a fortune to do any renovations on their own property.
Many of the regulations are pointless and cost some homeowners
everything they have to comply with. It really is sad. </DIV>

<DIV>Or is it a different CHIPMAN family that got the trail named
after them? The same trail that used to have a heavy rail track bed
that could have been used for light rail transit between Moscow and

meant few car sales and not needing a freeway between Moscow and
Pullman. Think about it.<BR>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Lake cabin permit flap prompts
legislation<BR>Bill would drop limit on home expansions<BR>Betsy
Z. Russell<BR>The Spokesman-Review<BR> <BR>BOISE – An Idaho
lawmaker upset that regulators refuse to bend the rules for a
Worley-area cabin owner with an inadequate septic system is
proposing legislation that threatens to undermine the Panhandle
Health District’s ability to keep sewage out of North Idaho lakes
and streams.<BR><BR>“I’m just getting their attention up there,”
said state Sen. Gary Schroeder, R-Moscow. He added that even if
SCR 114 were to be approved, the health district could
re-establish its own regulatory authority by writing “another rule
tomorrow.”<BR><BR>The health district disagrees.<BR><BR>“Neither
the board nor I feel that that’s in the best interest of the
public in general,” said Dale Peck, environmental response and
technology director for the district.<BR><BR>The legislation would
affect all homes on substandard sewer systems in the five counties
of the Idaho Panhandle. Currently, those homes have “vested
rights” to continue using their old septic systems as long as they
don’t expand their buildings by more than 10 percent. Schroeder’s
legislation would remove the expansion limits.<BR><BR>Schroeder
said he introduced the measure on behalf of a Pullman resident who
built a big cabin – 2,749 square feet – on Lake Coeur d’Alene but
now can’t get an occupancy permit to use it.<BR><BR>That’s because
when the owner, Carol Chipman, built the home near Worley, a
condition on her building permit required her to tear down a
1,248-square-foot cabin and a second 893-square-foot cabin on an
adjacent lot. The newer home exceeds the 10 percent limit, but
Panhandle Health decided to allow the swap. Both 1950s-era cabins
were on substandard septic systems, as is the new
home.<BR><BR>However, Chipman now is refusing to tear down the
second cabin.<BR><BR>Schroeder said Chipman’s project came at the
same time the 10 percent rule was taking effect, and she was
caught in the changeover. She’d already torn down the larger of
the two old cabins before she and her contractor realized the
rules had changed.<BR><BR>“I think that they should have the
flexibility to solve a problem for people that are caught in a
time warp when there’s a rule change like this,” Schroeder
said.<BR><BR>Before 2007, the health district prevented
replacement homes on substandard sewer systems from having more
bedrooms than the structures they replaced. Schroeder said
Chipman’s new house meets that old standard.<BR><BR>Schroeder,
Chipman and Sen. Joyce Broadsword, R-Sagle, met with Panhandle
Health officials in September to discuss the case, and all sides
came away thinking the problem had been resolved. Peck said
Chipman’s options include developing a compliant drain field to
serve both structures so she wouldn’t need to tear down the old
cabin. On Oct.. 13, she submitted a permit to do just that, “so
that is in process,” Peck said. However, she’s not yet identified
a site for a new drain field.<BR><BR>Meanwhile, Chipman’s building
permit has been extended to June to allow for that, Peck
said.<BR><BR>“I felt she had options,” Broadsword
said.<BR><BR>Schroeder said if the health district would just give
Chipman an occupancy permit, he’d withdraw his legislation. “I
think government is being inflexible,” he said. “I think a citizen
got caught in the middle of a rule change.”<BR><BR>The health
district disagrees; Peck said its board will discuss Schroeder’s
bill at its meeting Thursday.<BR><BR>Broadsword said she thinks
the district could be more flexible. “I’m not saying the rule is
bad – I just think there needs to be a little more flexibility,”
she said.<BR><BR>Schroeder likened it to a situation in his
district when the state department of Fish and Game changed the
border of a hunting unit, and hunters who didn’t realize the
change had happened took game on the wrong side of the line. The
agency opted just to give warnings the first year, he
said.<BR><BR>“I want them to solve this,” Schroeder said. “The
rules have changed. … That’s my only
issue.”<BR><BR></DIV></DIV><BR>
