The grant condition states in part that <br /> every eaisting dwelling within the service area will be <br /> connected to the sewer system. <br /> A second concern is that this amendment will exempt in <br /> perpetuity all properties along a privately constructed sewer <br /> line from connecting to the County sewer system. Properties <br /> could not be forced to connect even with a change of ownership <br /> or if a vacant lot is developed. <br /> I am allowing Bill 229 to pass because I do not want to affect <br /> an ongoing project, but i strongly suggest the Council <br /> reexamine this measure in the near future and do the remedial <br /> work necessary to make implementation of this Bill successful. <br /> If we do not address these concerns now, we may be compelled to <br /> make changes in the future. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> en K. amashiro <br /> YOR <br /> <br />
