He would provide septic sites where possible. <br />McMillan questioned whether the sketch plan could be sent to the Council without a direct <br />recommendation. <br />Lindouist suggested determining the opinion of the home owners in the area about sketch <br />plan 3. He tbels it would not make sense to by-pass the two-acre lots from sewenng. <br />20
