OCT 17 1984 Bmo 8 fe; 6,9 necessary to get a wastewater plant out there, including looking at an approach to funding, assessment, etc., and have the Planning Department and staff look at a legal vehicle to create a conformity. Attorney Brandenburg felt we might want to create a special zoning district to handle this matter, possibly an offshoot of R-1RM which allows both mobile homes and conventional single family dwellings. He noted the Commission could require that; grandfather in everything existing; and require everyone new to comply. Commissioner Bowman asked about a moratorium. Attorney Brandenburg noted that when the lots were con- structed, they all had septic tanks even though people were supposed to have self-contained trailers - but they didn't. The conditions out there are really bad and there is overflow into the canal. He did feel, however, that the one individual now applying should be allowed to hook up for electrical and use a septic tank. Then we should move ahead to try to resolve the sewer situation. Utilities Director Pinto pointed out that we are right in the middle of the County Master Plan for sewer, and he suggested this area be included in the scope of the contract since it is a pressing problem. Administrator Wright did not feel it would amount to all that much and suggested that we negotiate a price as we do not want to have to hire someone to develop a plan just for that small area. He noted that we do have a wastewater plant available; that is not the problem. The problem is getting the effluent to the plant and getting rid of it. Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas noted that we have been concerned about the situation at the County Park at Blue Cypress for some time, even with septic tanks, etc., the problem is you are surrounded by swamps and clay. 58
