REPRESENTATIVE OF FAVRO CONSTRUCTION. INC.
Mr. Favro and his son were present at the meeting. They did not discuss
their problem with the Board Members, and left after the discussion on "Joint
Building Sewers".
JOINT BUILDING SEWERS
VII.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained to Board Members
that the staff required a District policy covering the matter of joint building
sewers. He explained the problems involved, utilizing Rossmoor as an example.
Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, informed the Board Members that there
was a distinction between townhouse type of structures and condominium types.
The former can be separated because the owners own the land. In the latter case,
the land is owned in common. Because of various reasons, the District can expect
more of the cluster type housing.
Mr. Horstkotte suggested that where feasible, i.e., ground level condomin-
iums, separate sewer lines should be the policy.
A general discussion between Board Members, the staff and Mr. Bohn then
continued with Mr. Horstkotte and Member Mitchell illustrating the problem of
sewerage for cluster type housing.
After further discussion concerning what responsibility the District should
assume in this matter, it was moved by Member Boneysteele, seconded by Member
Rustigian, that the staff be directed to rewrite the rough draft to make subpara-
graph "d" consistent with subparagraph "c", thus providing for combined sewers.

Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the proposed frontage road at the Treat-
