31 , 2008 Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr seconded the motion , which carried by unanimous vote 14 Request for Waiver of Residential Sewer Service Policy Kay Howell , 1001 Wind Grove Way , Raleigh , appeared before the Board , and requested a waiver of the Residential Sewer Service Policy , based on a financial hardship , for property that she and her husband own on Crantock Road , Smithfield She explained that they purchased the property in June 2003 with the intent to build their future home there , specifically behind the pond located on the property Environmental Health performed a septic test , and found the most suitable site for a septic system is on the end of the property opposite the site for the house Further , Tommy Adams , an independent soil scientist , determined an alternative site , however , this site would require additional soil to make it suitable Ms Howell noted that she has been discussing the request with Public Utilities Director Tim Broome since June 2004 In response to a question from Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr , Ms Howell noted the estimate for installing the alternative sewer system is 7,100 She stated they understand there would not be a big difference in the initial investment between the alternative sewer system and hooking on to county sewer lines ; however , the Howells would like to have the assurance that they’ll be able to use the county sewer , and not have to maintain the alternative system in later years Mark Coats , contractor with Lighthouse Construction , pointed out the alternative system may only have a life span of five years Mr Coats emphasized that considering the maintenance of the alternative system , the Howells are trying to avoid this costing them double years from now He also mentioned that an adjacent property owner’s wastewater line running from their washing machine actually crosses onto the Howell’s property Mr Coats expressed concern that this may become an issue in the future , and it might be practical for them to tap onto the sewer line as well Commissioner Tony Braswell asked if the front portion of the property would perk Ms Howell responded the front portion is the first site the County determined would perk She reiterated their desire to build behind the pond Commissioner Mims referred to the County’s Residential Sewer Service Policy He stated that since the Howells do not have a failed system , and do have a septic permit , the policy does not allow for them to access county sewer In his opinion , the Howells do not have a financial hardship Commissioner Mims expressed concern that if the Board waives the policy for the Howells , this would open the door for others that do not meet the policy’s waiver requirements Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver stated , in his opinion , the hardship should be current He noted that the only time the policy has been waived in the past is when the request came from a municipality Commissioner Carver expressed sympathy for the Howells ’ situation , but stated he could not support a waiver of the policy It was the consensus of the Board to deny the Howells ’ request 15 Call for Public Hearing - Proposed Annexation to Brogden Water District Commissioner Tony Braswell moved the Board schedule a public hearing for the September 5 , 2006 6 00 pm meeting on the proposed annexation for specified properties along Firetower Road into the Brogden Water District The area includes approximately 400 ft on the western right - of - way within the Town of Selma ETJ , and 250 ft on the eastern right - of - way within the Town of Pine Level ETJ Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver seconded the motion , which carried by unanimous vote 16 Town of Princeton – Water Customers Along US 70A Don Rains , Mayor of the Town of Princeton , appeared before the Board regarding the issue of whether specified properties along US 70A are water customers of the Town of Princeton or the Brogden Water District He introduced Bob Spence , Jr , the Town’s attorney Page0580 August 14 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued Mr Spence explained that the Town feels the area along US 70A is the primary growth area for Princeton He stated that in 1985 , under a joint agreement with the County , Princeton installed the waterline along US 70A ; this line provides water for the entire town The County provided the financing for the line , but the Town has since paid the County back Also , under a 1985 agreement , the Towns of Pine Level and Princeton began splitting the cost of maintaining the line , and have continued maintenance since that time He stated the water line is integral to the communities , and noted with Princeton’s size and economy , they cannot compete with the County Mr Spence stressed the Town is trying to provide the lowest possible rates , however , they cannot provide rates as low as the County , given the economies of scale The Town Board has lowered the rates from 5085 to 3885 for out - of - town customers ; in - town rates are 3323 He showed a map that highlighted the area along US 70A , and noted there are 14 customers in the specified area Mr Spence stated the Town believes as the area develops , this will be a way to improve their economy He emphasized this is the highest projected growth area for the Town Mr Spence reiterated that since 1985 , there had been a joint agreement between the County and the Town concerning the water line In his opinion , if the County fails to honor this agreement , the Town’s only option would be to annex the area , which they do not wish to do In response to a question from Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr , Mr Spence illustrated on the map the points at which the Town of Princeton begins and ends maintenance of the water line He stated a 1991 agreement between the County and the Town refers to the County servicing the utilities , not the actual maintenance of the lines Mr Spence pointed out the County maintains the Woodall Farms subdivision Commissioner Mims emphasized that the County held public hearings concerning the formation and approval of the Brogden Water District , and met with Princeton’s mayor and board members at that time He stressed that the people in the district have a liability to pay for the district’s debt In response to Commissioner Mims ’ comments , Mr Spence stated the Town could find no record of discussions on the matter with the Princeton Board Further , in Mr Spence’s opinion , Mayor Ormond had no authority to make a decision In the year prior , there is a record of discussions with the Princeton Board concerning another water district County Manager Rick Hester added the County met with every municipality in the county regarding the water districts The County had informal discussions with municipal representatives , including mayors , board members , and clerks Commissioner Mims commented , in his opinion , it is the mayor’s responsibility to tell all their board members about their matters Commissioner Wade M Stewart stated he believes there are two separate issues to address First , there are people within the Brogden Water District that are paying Town of Princeton water rates These people want the benefits of the district , ie County rates which are lower , since they have the liability of additional taxes if the district fails Second , the Town would like to keep these customers Commissioner Stewart suggested Mayor Rains request the Board consider changing the district lines , which would not be a simple task The Commissioners would be required to schedule a public hearing for public comment from property owners potentially affected by the redraw He pointed out the property owners may not want to be served by Princeton County Attorney Mark Payne noted there is a statute that outlines the expansion of a water district annexation , however , no statute exist for taking current customers out of the district In his opinion , the County Board of Commissioners has the authority to do so , if the County follows the same procedure used for annexation Further , the County would need to get approval from the financing agency , USDA , since the district has outstanding debt The district is fairly mature , and its debt has been paid down a sufficient amount , which should make it able to handle a small reduction in district size Commissioner Tony Braswell stated as a former commissioner and mayor for the Town of Pine Level , he understands the importance of Princeton having the 14 customers ; however , as a County Commissioner , he questioned how the County could tell the 14 property owners that are within the meets and bounds of the Brogden Water District that they are not water district customers Page1581 August 14 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued Mr Spence noted that it seems the Town and the County have a long term interlocal agreement that has been less well managed than it should have been over the years In his opinion , the agreement should remain in effect until both boards agree for it to be changed In response to a question from Commissioner Stewart regarding a 1991 agreement , Mr Spence responded the agreement outlined the County’s assumption of the operation and maintenance of the County booster stations , chlorine stations , fire hydrants , and bulk water meter reading Commissioner Stewart stated it was his understanding that in 1985 the Town agreed to do something , and then later in 1991 the Town realized that it did not have the capability to carry out the task , and asked the County to take over the duties Mayor Rains stated the Town controls the water from the meter at Bizzell Grove Road to Princeton with the exception of the bulk meter reading station at Woodall Farms He noted if there is a leak in the line , the Town is responsible for the loss of water Further , the Town is responsible for some of the repair on the line He stated he feels the Town more than pays for the line by water consumption Mayor Rains commented the Town and the County Public Utilities Department have always been able to work together on issues regarding the line Commissioner Stewart again suggested the Town address the issue with a proposal that the district be redrawn Commissioner Mims stated he believes the property owners will want to stay in the district He suggested that if the Town is not satisfied with the County taking back the 14 customers , then the Town should let a judge look at the matter Commissioner Stewart emphasized the Commissioners must address requests from both municipalities and constituents In this case , it is the County’s opinion the constituents have a legitimate request Commissioner Stewart reminded the Town that the Commissioners instructed County staff to replace the town meters with
