sewer construction in TAH 1 (Summerhill Area). All property owners in
the Summerhill Area would be required to purchase capacity rights due
to health problems existing in the area.

which permits those on a boundary of the district who do not need or
want sewers would be excluded and permits those in the center of the
district who do not want or need sewers to pay a lesser amount than
those connecting to the sewer.

40 owners in LAH 2 and TAH 3 who do not choose to purchase capacity at this

b) Everyone in LAM 1 must pay for capacity rights, whether excluded or
included in the sewer district.

future, 145 parcels never desire sewers, and 53 parcels indicated uncertain
desires regarding construction of sewers.

ments.

approved, subject to the conditions of the Check List.

4W $2,000 for road improvements since he was not subdividing. City Engineer
noted the similarity of the requirements of the building site approval ordin-
ance and subdivision ordinance and that an in lieu payment for the entire
road frontage of 572' would exceed $5,000. City Engineer further noted
that Natoma Road is part of the Town's Select System. Commissioner Hibner

an undue hardship.
(City Clerk noted that due to transmission difficulties, the remainder of
the meeting would not be taped.)

subdivide in the future, he could submit a Tentative Map with the comyuta-
tion of the net acreage 201 from the centerline of the road and with credit

request should be considered.

as to how he could proceed with future plans. Mayor Aiken stated that firm
ground rules and a firm policy were in order. Mr. Bellucci had suggested
that a citizens' committee be formed of those residents living in the area

present use. This committee could then present their findings and recom-
mendations to the Council, and those most affected would be making the de-
cision.
