The present ordinance provides this: 'If there is no public sewer abutting the property or, if there is no sewer available within 300 feet of the structure, the structure can be connected to the cess- pool. It should read "and" instead of "or". Thus,..."If there is no sewer in the abutting street'"and" a sewer is at least 300 feet removed from the structure" ... As to what structures can be connected to the cesspool - the sSngle family dwelling, thus omitting large number of multiple dwellings, and, secondly, if the.structure is a non-residential structure and if the Superintendent of Sewers makes a finding that the effluent and soil condi- tions are such that adequate drainage would be accomplished, but it does require a "finding", the structure may be con- nected to a cesspool or septic tank. It does not permit, in any event, the connection of multiple family dwellings of more than three units to a cesspool. 14.2 1 1 1 143 CITY HALL AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1963 Page 10 A determination was made by Council agreement that the' "Superintendent of Sewers" would be the Superintendent of Public Works.

The property is'located on.the west side of Donna Beth north of the Department of Water & Power Easement. Mr. Schiering further stilted, "We would like to know if there is any way of devising some way for us to go ahead and ' complete the development. The sewer system is a con- siderable distance away. Some people are interested in '. bringing it in., but, at the earliest, it would be sometime 'next summer, and we would anticipate having our structures completed within the next four months. We can install some type of facility that would be acceptable until such time as sewers are made accessible." City Engineer Sdndwick stated that a meeting is planned for October 25th to re-organize,the Sanitation District and plans-, are being formulated to extend the line in°order to bring it up to this area. Following discussion, the City Attorney suggested that an amendment to the.,proposed urgency ordinance.could be made, deleting "a non-residential" structure and putting the burden of connecting to other than a sewer line upon the Superintendent of Sewers who would determine by findings submitted in writing that.conditions would be satisfactory to connect to a cesspool or septic tank for such time and subject to such conditions'as the Superintendent,of Sewers might impose. The Superintendent of Sewers could impose among the conditions a bond as security of the.fact that within a certain length of time the connection would be made to the sewer. The City Attorney drafted the amendment ofLLthe proposed ordinance concerning Section l (2), to read'as follows: "If the structure is any other type of structure and the ' `Superintendent of Sewers finds in writing that the ex- pected effluent and soil conditions are such that adequate drainage would be accomplished and no pollution or harm would result, the structure may be connected to a'cesspool or septic tank for such length of time and.subject to such conditions as the Superintendent of Sewers may impose." 1-44 1 1 CITY HALL AZUSA.CALIFORNIA MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1963 Page 11 Councilman Cooney offered the following Ardinance as Ord amended.
