Commissioner Bird felt that providing for utilities to this site is the most basic item to be concerned about, even before getting the roads paved. He asked if the water distribution system was designed by an engineer. Mr. Clark said it was designed and submitted, but then the Utilities Department came back and said they must modify it and go with a 6" main instead of what Carter & Associates had proposed. Commissioner Wodtke recalled that when this site plan review came before the Board last May 1st, Attorney Clem agreed that there had not been a sewer under contract at that time, but stated that they could get another one under contract very quickly. Commissioner Wodtke wanted to know exactly when the Clarks were going to contract for a sewer plant and hook up to the County water line, and Mr. Clark projected that their—next step is water distribution, but they will probably end up doing the water and•sewer at the same time. Chairman Lyons asked where they were going to put the sewage, and Mr. Clark explained that it was designed for the back of the property. They do have a permit from the DER. Commissioner Scurlock believed, however, that permit was based on the plant that was contracted for sometime ago. He also believed that the rate tariff for a utility franchise on only 59 lots would not be feasible. Director Pinto confirmed that the Clarks could get a franchise for only 59 lots, but the Board could set the rate structure after the franchise is granted. Commissioner Wodtke wondered if the Board has the ability of instructing staff to report back on whether the Clarks have complete agreement -as to the utilities issues and have the financial ability to complete this project. Administrator Wright pointed out that this is a site plan issue, not a utility problem. 31 0 V BOOK 62 PAGE- 39
