~~8 Commissioner Willhoit stated that this appeared to be piece-meal sewage treatment to him and he does not like the idea of a holding tank and this should be something for OWASA to work out. Commissioner Willhoit moved that the rezoning request be denied until such time as adequate sewage lines and adequate sewage facilities are provided. Commissioner Whitted seconded the motion. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he shared the concern of Mr. Willhoit, and that he was also concerned about the development of that whole area, that he preferred a good planned development to piecemeal planning. He added that the sewage system would have to be upgraded by OWASA ayway. Discussion ensued. Chairman Whitted reminded the Board that once the property is zoned general commercial, it would remain general commer- cial. Commissioner Pinney stated that sewer should not enter into the decision of this Board, because the Board does not have anything to do with providing sewer. He added that a decision should be made as to whether ar not this tract of land is desirable to be zoned commercial. The County Attorney, Jeff Gledhill, stated that the sanitation pro- blem is a legitimate consideration for the Board. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Willhoit stated that it ppeared that OWASA had not considered the potential impact the proposed method of handling the sewage would have on the watershed, but that the impact had been viewed from an engineering consideration. He added that he had talked with Mr. Billingsley who spoke of the inadequancy of the gravity feed. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that this rezoning request be tabled for three months to give OWASA time to present more specific statements of their plans for this area. He added that he was concerned about the developing of the area in the future. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the request be tabled to provide time for opportunity for further study on the part of the applicant and OWASA. Commissioner Pinney seconded the.~mation. Chairman Whined called for the vote on the motion. Voting aye were Commissioners Gustaveson, Pinney, Whined and Walker. Voting nay was Commissioner Willhoit. The motion was declared passed. Mr. Hazard stated that he would attempt to get in writing from OWASA, a definite means of the handling of the sewage in the area proposed to be rezoned, without being detrimental to Hertiage Hills and the University Lake watershed.
