How many times d, we need to learn this lesson? <br /> Aside from issues about quality of environment and shoreline protection, there is a real fiscal <br /> threat to the County it SoBay builds the condos there the County will be liable for damages <br /> when the flood prone area is inundated by storm waters flowing through the sewage station on <br /> the opposite side of the street] <br /> Obviously trading the land is a win-win option Please support the resolution! <br /> Iv1ahalo for your consideration, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dr Kate H.
