Mrs. Robert Miller, utilizing a chart, addressed the Board, explaining the circumstances and background relating to the problem of easements across Mr. McCosker's property and that owned by her. She stated the location of the proposed McCosker easement would have adverse impact upon her property and, if accepted, the Board's action would be detrimental or jeapordize her position in the litigation matter which was scheduled for trial on October 30, 1972. Board Members, staff and Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, discussed various aspects of the matter with Mr. Bohn stating that mere acceptance of the easement offered by Mr. McCosker did not commit the District to eventual construction of a sewage line on that easement. Rather, it was one of several alternatives available to the District and that the court could be so informed. In response to a question concerning the feasibility of continuing the item, Mrs. Agnes Curtis explained that homes had been constructed on Parcel 2 and 3, Job 2113, and that in her instance, Parcel 3, while her home was completely furnished, she could not occupy the premises because of lack of sewers.

He then 2 entered into an agreement with Mr. McCosker to share expenses in the construction of a gravity sewer system across Parcels 1, 2 3 and jilto 4. He requested that the Board accept the easement offered by Mt. McCosker. Mr. Dalton confirmed that gravity service was required by the staff for Mr. Orosco's property.
