12 Commissioner Mims asked for more information regarding the sewer line to serve the development Page2744 June 5 , 2017 – 6 00 pm Continued Utilities Director Chandra Coats , PE , reported that over the past year as staff has been looking at future demands to determine where infrastructure is needed , a proposed new regional wastewater pump station was identified in order to move wastewater from the McGee’s Crossroads and Cleveland areas back to the County’s wastewater treatment plant The project would include an interceptor line down Middle Creek to a regional station near Elizabeth Brown’s property Ms Coats confirmed that staff has approached Ms Brown to discuss the potential regional station and gravity line Ms Coats continued that in the meantime , staff learned of the proposed Wellesley Development and the fact that they would require sewer Ms Coats noted under the County’s sewer policy with a PUD zoning , the developers would be allowed to install a new wastewater pump station on their property and pump back to the County facilities However , staff evaluated the situation and determined that the preference would be to gravity flow to the County’s proposed new regional wastewater pump station , thereby eliminating the need for a new station on the Wellesley development due to the additional costs for operation and maintenance of that additional station Ms Coats stated if the regional pump station is located on Ms Brown’s property , then the wastewater from the Wellesley development would gravity flow to that station which most likely would require an easement from Ms Brown Ms Coats stated while this would be the preferred design , there are other alternatives for the development to receive sewer Commissioner Mims stated that Ms Brown has said she is not interested in a gravity line across her property , and if Ms Brown says no to an easement for the gravity line , he cannot support condemnation Mr Adams stated they are neutral as to how the sewer will be handled for the development There being no further public comments , the Chairman closed the public comment portion of the hearing Mr Gray reported the Planning Board recommended approval of the rezoning and adoption of a Resolution for the Statement of Consistency as submitted in the agenda packet There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the Rezoning Hearing for Case 17 -
