58 Cantrell noted support for the installation of dry sewer system. She felt it could be done in the initial stages at a fairly moderate cost and would not implicate the County or the present or future landowner to tear up something already there to install lines. Waddell stated that he felt the language should be such to encourage, as opposed to a requirement, because it will be an economic decision. Cantrell responded that she would be more on the side of requiring because it is going to be extra expense. It's a forward motion. Jobsis stated that subcommittees had discussed the issue of dry lines. The group had concerns that the original owner may not be the owner twenty years into the future and uses could change. There are a lot of things that cannot be totally controlled. She did not feel that the added expense of installing dry sewer lines could be required, but, rather agreed with the term encourage. Cantrell stated agreement in the same manner in which road standards have been done with "an eye with what is coming down the road next" ; not trying to necessarily maintain a viable general outlook. She felt if it was not required, no one would do it. Waddell noted that if zoning was not implemented until sewer lines were in place, and that might not occur for some time, then zoning would be delayed. He felt that was not in line with the sense of the Board. He felt the Board was in agreement with the staff comments and the alternative of dry sewers. He felt the Board would like to allow for development in all the areas and not pre-zone piecemeal. Cantrell suggested a show of hands to determine whether the term encourage or require should be used in terms of dry sewer systems. Waddell agreed. Hoecke stated that he felt that the intent was to prezone all of the areas at the same time. It was the consensus of the Board to encourage rather than require the installation of dry sewer lines. Consideration #4: Consider making residential uses special uses.
