Mr. Kir a i ne stated he has been informed by D.E* .E. that' requirements have been changed as it relatesto the utilization of sewerage .treatme'nt facilities with respect to single family dwellings in this' leve l opr ent. Mr. l i rra i ne explained that D.F,Q.E. is concerned with the lack of a statutory mechanism to guarantee the con- tinued on- tirued operation maintenance and if necessary replacement of the sewerage treatment plant and commented that the State law accorodate s condominium associations and sets up ars statutory lean mechanism as it relates to a condominium whereby every condominium owner has a percentage interest in the common areas and has a responsibility to pay a common fee as it relates to the common areas and the maintenance of the common areas. He explained that there i s' rye such equivalent as it r~ l atos- to a single family de e1op- ent and stated .E.Q.E. is concerned that under existing statutes the homeowners association would cease to exist in a period of thirty years unless the homeowners association would continue their lifetime and would .prefer to see individual lots -utilized Title V systems and not utilize a sewerage treatment facility but would continue to require the sewerage treatment facility to be utilized for the condo'mi n i urns. Mr. costa commented the sewer commissioners were under the impression that the individual lots eventually hook-up to the' eers. As. Fantosi explained to the Board that D.E. .E. has taken a position that if this is a private facility they will only permit at this timecondo- miniums contributing to it because of the legal maintenance and ownership. She stated if this is a community regional publicly owned treatment plant everything that is proposed to be built at this site would contribute to it thru sewer lines, the sewer lines will be laid in place whether it is public or privately owned however the department may prohibit the hook-up -of the private homes if .it remains private, they will not-, if it is a public. fac ility, so the physical ability to hook up each of the on-site septic systems will be there and will be required if it is a town plant. She informed the Board that the developers will be willing to lay the sewer lin0s. in the street pending either outcome. Mr. McQuaid explained to the Board that he was at Frank appa's office and questioned him as 'to whether individual septic systems were allowed for a development that will exceed 15,000 gallons and commented the southeast region had not received a copy of that letter to the Boston office and were concerned that this would even be considered.
