He said as the Board thinks about the 36 <br />development of this park, he wanted to make sure it had not foreclosed on the possibility of 37 <br />connecting the park to water and sewer, instead of a septic field. 38 <br />Travis Myren said nothing has been foreclosed, but if the water and sewer boundary 39 <br />agreement is not amended it would have to be on septic. 40 <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if the water and sewer agreement would need to be 41 <br />amended. 42 <br />Travis Myren said yes. 43 <br />Chair Rich said the Board had this discussion about two years ago, and some neighbors 44 <br />were opposed. She said the Board may need to have this discussion again. 45 <br />Commissioner Price referred to the Hollow Rock Nature Park, and asked if Durham 46 <br />agreed with the budget. 47 <br />Travis Myren said yes. 48 <br />Commissioner Greene said it was her understanding that the west side of Millhouse 49 <br />Road was in the rural buffer, which would make it a tough conversation. 50
