HE DR ICK:Is "permitted" a better word than "considered"? Is "permitted" tying us down to
having to approve it?
POPE: "Considered" might be a better word. The reason we discussed that is that this is sort
of a hybrid arrangement. We're going to end up with up to 21 different owners in here, some of whom
might come in and want a modfication, others not want one, and we don't know who to listen to. So
we just figured we had to put somebody in control.
MILLS: Should part of this recommendation be that the septic tank point?
POPE: It might be if you think it's important.
MILLS: I happen to think it is.
BECKHAM: I didn't hear.
MILLS: Put in there the restriction, restricted to septic tanks.
JENNINGS: If there was a municipal sewer available --
MILLS: Oh, certainly, municipal sewer, but not waste water treatment facilities.
BECKHAM: Counselor, would you like to help me word that?
MILLS: I mean, you're the one that said you're going to use septic tanks, and all I'm saying
JENNINGS: Correct. What I'll do in my deed restrictions, I will require the people to hook on
to waste water treatment plants if thero's one available, and so I wouldn't, I'd hate for us to have
a condition to use septic tanks and not allow for hooking on to any available wastewater utility.
MILLS: You know, there's a difference between a municipal sewage plant and a wastewater
package treatment facility, and I'm not going to vote for any of these daggone things that come up
here with the wastewater treatment facility, and I told you that. And everyone of them that comes
up here, if you don't agree to it, I'm going to vote against it. That's one person that won't vote
for it if it's not in there.
STEWART: Well, I'm not certain that I would want to require that.
JENNINGS: In this particular, if you will, in this particular community, that's not going to
be a problem. It will be single-family, individual septic tanks because of the nature of the
development being so low density. It has such a small population that it just won't fit the
construction. But I appreciate that comment because --
HEDRICK: Well, if it's going to be in the deed restriction, it may as well be in the recommen-
dation.
JENNINGS: Well, you know, if everybody's repaired their septic tanks and they break down
someday, the health department requires a different method, I don't see the homeowners' association
having to do something like that just to provide a healthy community.
POPE: Each unit constructed will be served by a septic tank approved by the appropriate health
authority. Each dwelling unit. (Not clear) . . .
JENNINGS: Each one of them will be built with a septic tank? That'll be good. That way we
«n.
don't have to deal with the future.
STEWART: Well, what I'm saying is I can see that being a requirement if each board member
feels that should be that way, but for that to be made a part of the special use, I can't go along
with that because that's not a priority for my voting for it. Now it may be for Mr. Mills and some
of the others board members, but I'm not opposed to package treatment plants, and I don't see that
as being a requirement in order for me to vote for a project of this type.
JENNINGS: It's satisfactory with me to have this wording this way.
POPE: Any other questions?
MILLS: The only reason I wanted either one way or the other is that I don't like what we went
through �iith Heronwood. I don't like what I foresee and understand is going to happen, for the very
reason that we said and then they said it wasn't said, and then we end up going to court over that.
I just want it perfectly clear one way or the other. If you're agreeable to it, I think that's what
you said, then we go that way and
JENNINGS: I understand, and I agree with that.
MILLS: If it's not an issue.
POPE: Are there any ;ther conditions which the commissioners would like to see incorporated
into the staff's suggestions?
