He states that he has done everything possible to eliminate this problem and nothing has helped. Mr. Krepela inquires how much this will cost. Mr. Welchons states it will be approximately $5,000. Mr. Murray states that he knows he will experience a great cost but that he is willing to pay to get this problem solved. He adds that he has had this tank pumped out every year but now there is too much water in the ground and it cannot take anymore. Mr. Krepela inquires if Mr. Murray would be willing to pay $1,500. Mr. Murray states he would have to. Mr. Welchons states that the County may possibly be able to pick up one more connection on a lot across from Mr. Murray. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Board accepts Mr. Murray's offer of $1,500 for the construction of sewer to his property. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. Mr. Mac Spencer, representing Mr. W. S. Carnes, requests the Board to allow Mr. Carnes to put in a temporary septic tank until public sewer is available in order that he might get an occupany permit for his apartment unit. He states that the Commonwealth'S Attorney's office advised him to come before the Board since there is some litigation regarding this case and is still pending in Court. He states'that the lower Court had ordered Mr. Mumma to issue a building permit for one unit. Mr. Ritz states that it was his understanding that this building permit was issued to safeguard Mr. Carnes' rezoning and it was not expected to be occupied. He adds also that site plans, road plans, etc. were never approved by the CoHnty--everything was done by the Court. He states again that this was done only for the purpose of protecting Mr. Carnes' rezoning. Mr. Apperson states that it was his understanding there were no limitations. Mr. Ritz states there were limitations. Mr. Carnes comes before the Board and states that Mr. Ritz and Mr. Balderson have been holding this up and he does not understand why. He states that Mr. Ritz is fighting him personally and not the apartments. He states further that Mr. Ritz is not doing his job and further that any builder in the County will agree. Mr. Ritz states that there were conditions on the order stating for one, that public sewer had to be constructed and that a septic tank is not public sewer. Mr. Mason states that when multi-family dwellings were started prior to the Board of Supervisors taking them over, they would have to finish where they began and he feels this would have to go back before the Board of Zoning Appeals as Mr. Ritz had stated. Mrl Horner,states he has been involved in this and he did not think the soil would perk. Mr. Carnes asks Mr. Horner why he is against hi- as he has never done a thing against the County or Mr. Horner and further states that this is not helping him politically as a number of other things he has done in the County is not helping him. He adds also that he feels this is political and it should not be. Mr. Carries states that the Commonwealth's Attorney told Mr. Ritz to his face and in front of other witnesses that this was none of his business. Mr. Ritz states that is not true and asks Mr. Carnes if he would like Mr. Rudy to appear before the Board. Mr. Carries says he would. It is reported that Mr~ Rudy is out of the Courthouse complex. Mr. Myers states that he feels this should be deferred until Mr. Rudy is available!i as he does not feel it should come before this Board and if it should not the Board is spending too much time on a matter that is not theirs to consider. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that action on this subject be tabled until Mr. Rudy, the Commonwealth's Attorney, is present to give his interpretation of the order. Ayes: Mr.~Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Painter states that bids were let for Sewer Contracts 7032-6A and 7032-6B for the Bon Air Heights, Oxford and Southampton areas. He states that T & E Construction Company, who submitted the low bid for 7032~6A in the amount of $228,470, also submitted the iow bid for 7032-6B in the amount of $250,192.25. He states that he is not sure that T & E Construction can supply sufficient crews to cover both jobs and have the projects completed within the 220 days allowed. He states that if T & E Construction cannot, he has another bid from H. J. Snyder, who submitted the next lowest bid in the amount of $251,985.21 for 7032-6B which is approximately $1,800 higher. Mr. Horner asks Mr. Krepela if he is going to condemn where necessary for these lines to be laid. Mr. Krepela states that he will but that he does not expect too many condemnations because there is a possibility of one or two of the lines being deleted. Mr. Painter states that he would have liked to have known of this possibility because the lines that are probably being considered for deletion are the most expensive to lay. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson~ it is resolved that Sewer contracts 7032-6A in the amount of $228,470 and 7032-6B i~n the amount of $250,192.25 be awarded to T & E Construction Company with the understanding that if they cannot complete these projects in the time allowed, Sewer Contract 7032-6B will be awarded to H. J. Snyder in the amount of $251,985.21. Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Wagstaff comes before the Board and thanks them for their consideration of sewer in this area as he has been working on this for the past 10 years and he is willing to help in any way possible. Mr. Apperson inquires if there is any possibility of widening Route 641. Mr. Covington states that the cost will be approximately $59,000. He states this would be for curbing and gutters across from Oakdale. Mr. Apperson states that there are two drainage problems in the area, one with the Stephens property and the other with the Holzbach property. He states the reason for these problems is the road is higher than the properties and the water runs into the yards. Mr. Covington states the only money available is the Rural Addition money. ~He states that in another area the Board had used some 3¢ Road Funds but had also appropriated more money in addition to these funds. Mr. Apperson states that he would like to consider the possibilities further for correcting this situation. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this road improvement be deferred for further consideration. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Covington states that when he wrote the letter to Mr. Burnett he had been in error and that the Board will have to hold a Public Hearing on the restricting of truck traffic on East Happy Hill Road and, also, an alternate route will have to be designated. -Mr. Covington advises the Board that the Primary Road Fund will construct the interchange of Routes 604 and 10 if the County will acquire the right-of-way need-~ ed. Upon consideration of this matter, it is on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, resolved that this Board approves the proposed interchange of Routes 604 and 10 and agree to obtain the necessary right-of-way. Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Burnett presents Mr. Krepela with a petition from the residents on Robindale Road.

Mr. Krepela states that children living on Depot Road have to walk 1~ miles to catch the school bus, the reason being the bus will not travel this road because there is no place to turn around. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Board ask the Highway Department to give an estimate for a turn-around on this road. Mr. Covington states that there is a site problem at the railroad crossing on this road which should be considered if a bus is to travel same. Ayes: Mr. Morner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Prosise states that there is a drainage problem in the Old Falling Creek Subdivision. He states that the Mundys and the Pulhams are experiencing flooded yards due to the fact that the culvert and ditches are not adequate. Mr. Pulham comes before the Board and presents pictures of the flooded areas. Me states that they have contacted Mr. Stinson who built their houses and he states that he did attempt to remedy this situation but that he is not the developer of the roads and he does not feel this is his problem. Mr. Prosise states that the cul-de-sac is not under the State System and that to take care of the problems the cost would be approximately $2,000, which would cover 24 foot of 30 inch pipe and the boxes. Mr. Mason states that when a builder contracts for a house, it is also understood that he will provide adequate ingress and egress for these people and he feels further that something could be done. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that Mr. Mason, Mr. Pulham, Mr. Mundy, Mr. Prosise and Mr. Stinson have a meeting to discuss the situation and recommend a solution to the Board. Ayes: Mr. Morner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Bolling comes before the Board and states that Ives Lane is not in the State System and he dedicated this street to the County and assured same that it would be up to State requirements. Mrl Burnett states that it was dedicated by plat but that Mr. Bolling had never notified the County the road was improved. Mr. Bolling states that at the present time the road does need repairing and that he is willing to share the cost. Mr. Covington states that he will meet with Mr. Murray and the Engineering Department to see if a letter can be written for acceptance.

Mr, Prosise presents the Board with plats showing the location of the roads and their conditions. He states alot of progress has been made in this development on ditches, drainage and other improvements. Mr. Horner states that he just recently received a call from a lady in Lake Genito Estates who stated that a line had been laid six weeks ago and is still uncovered. Mr. Rudolph states that he has only been working in this area for the past 12 weeks and this is the latest part so this condition could not have existed for six weeks. Mr. Homer states that he was just relating what the complaint had been. Mr. Rudolph states he still wants all restrictions lifted. Mr. Mason states that the Engineering Department has looked at and reviewed the roads as requested and now they should consider the occupancy permits that need closing. Mr. Burnett inquires if part of the roads could be taken into the system. Mr. Prosise states that they are not in complete shape to be recommended to be taken into the State System. Mr. Myers asks if the same situation existed in another subdivision, would the roads be ready for acceptance. Mr. Prosise states they would not~ Mr~ Myers asks Mr. Rudolph if the Board has a list of the lots ready for occupancy. Mr. Rudolph states that he gave them at the last Board meeting and lists them again as follows: 14N, 16N, 23N, 50N, 32N, 49N and ilL. Mr. Burnett inquires if Mr. Rudolph has sales for those homes and Mr. Rudolph responds to the affirmative. Mr. Rudolph states further that he will not shoot the roads this fall because the roads will settle all winter and that it would be a waste of money. Mr. Horner inquires about the bond. Mr. Rudolph states that the bond was issued prior to his constructing $400,000 worth of sewer lines. Mr. Horner states that he sees no objection to granting the occupany permits but wants to hold the building permits until the road situation improves and then inquires further about the bond. Mr~ Rudolph states that the bond issue is not the matter here as that will be taken out of the Board's hands anyway. Mr. Horner states that Mr. Rudolph's attitude is very poor and considers deferring the entire matter. Mr. Rudolph states that if the Board does not grant the occupany permits, he has had communications from attorneys stating that their clients will move in with or without the occupancy permits. Mr. Homer asks Mr. Rudolph to give the Board the names of these persons. Mr. Rudolph says he will send a list. Mr. Horner states that he does not feel he could support a motion regarding this situation with Mr. Rudolph's attitude being as it is. Mr. Myers states that he does not feel Mr. Rudolph's attitude, though rather bad, should restrict his rights. Mr. Mason states he does not feel the Board should present these people with extra hardships if they can possibly move in. Mr. Horner inquires as to who set the time schedule. Mr. Rudolph says that these houses were contracted prior to June. Mr. Horner states that Mr. Rudolph stated there were no more contracts for houses at the time they granted the one. Mr. Rudolph states he never made such a statement. Mr. Apperson inquires if the Board would grant these occupany permits, would it prejudice the Court's action in anyway. Mr. Mason states he does not feel it would. Mr. Burnett states that these occupany permits would be subject to the final inspections as required of all occupancy permits. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Board release the occupancy permits requested. Mr. Horner inquires how many more houses are under construction. Mr. Rudolph states about 15. Mr. Horner asks the other Board members if Mr. Rudolph gets all these houses occupied how do they know he will not forget about the roads. Mr. Myers states they still have the $250,000 bond. Mr. Horner states that it is a signature bond and getting the money may be a different matter. A vote being taken: Ayes: Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Abstention: Mr. Horner. Mr. Prosise states that he feels it would be a good idea if the news media would let the developers in Chesterfield County know that the Board expects the roads to be completed where they are developing. Mr. Krepela submits Mr. Reid Goode's name and Mr. Apperson submits Mr. Ernest P. Bush's name to serve on the Board of Equitization. Mr. Burnett states that there is only one vacancy. Mr. Myers states that he thought they were trying to get a farm or timber man to serve on this Committee. It is suggested that a letter be written to the Judge apprising him of the situation and let him choose between the two.

He states that Central National Bank is willing to pay $5,000 towards this cost if it is done immediately as they would not have to install a temporary septic tank, and Mr. Bolton would also be willing to pay $7,000 for this extension although he wishes to defer his payment. Mr. Burnett states that Ms. Yam Woo, owner of a proposed Chinese restaurant, wants the sewer extended as far as her place of business and this would cost approximately $13,000 and she is presently trying to work out a solu- tion to this matter.

He states that the Inn is ready to open as soon as sewer is approved. He says that they want to open now and until the plant is in operation, pump the tank out and haul the sewerage to the Falling Creek Plant. There is some concern by Mr. Myers that this is only a temporary and not permanent thing and that for no reason will they be allowed to deposit the sewerage in the Proctors Plant. Upon consideration of the matter, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, resolved that Day Realty be granted an interim pump and haul permit with the understanding that this is only temporary. Ayes: Mr. Homer, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Painter states that he has received requests from Ms. June Flanders and Ms. Pearl Brown to be released from their contracts for sewer service on ~Milhorn. He states they feel they cannot afford sewer and also that their septic tanks are working properly. Mr. O'Neill asks if this would prevent sewer service from being extended to this area. Mr. Painter states it could. Mr. O'Neill asks for deferral in order that he might investigate the situation further. Mr. Painter states that he has received a letter from Mr. Henson regarding the Bailey Bridge Pumping Station. He states that Mr. Henson feels he could redesign the pumping station for approximately $5,000 which would serve 11,800 in lieu of the 6,000 presently proposed and that it would take about 30-40 days to complete the plans. Mr. Painter states that it is the recommenda- tion of the Engineering Department that the County go to the redesign of this station. Mr. Frampton states he, too, feels this would be best for the County because of the extra capacity. He states that it is Urandermill's feelings that the sewer be kept going in a positive nature and that at the present time, floating the bond would not be best because of the high interest rates and the money situation everywhere.

Mr. Burnett states that the water tastes terrible and people have stopped drinking it. He states he has contacted Col.
