Opinion

and Order of the Board

(by Mr.

Currie):

These two petitions

seek permission to

connect single homes

to sewers

in the North Shore Sanitary District.

Because the facts

alleged

appeared to bring both cases within precedents

allothng such connections,

we asked for verification of the facts

and proceeded without hearing.

We have

there is a binding commitment for mortgage assistance under a federal

aid

program for those of modest means; living

conditions

at present

are quite un-

satisfactory,

with five

children

and a one-bedroom apartment in

dilapidated

condition,

and with a defective septic

tank.

This case is

governed by McAdams v.

E. P. A.,

#71-113

(August

13,

1971).

and by

Venable v.

E. P. A..

#71-363 (November

23,

1971).

The Tucker case,

#72-22,

concerns

a home that was built before

the

sewer ban of March

31,

1971

(League of Women Voters v.

E. P. A.

•

#70-7),

and

therefore

falls within the authority of such precedents

for granting the variance

as Wachta

&

Mota

v.

E. P. A.

•

#71-77 (July 12.

1971).

The variances

in ##72-14 and 72-22 are hereby ranted.

I,

Christen

L.

Moffett,

Clerk of the Pollution

Control Board,

certify

that

the Board adopted the above Opinion

and Order this

8th

day of February.
