Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval. There was no one present to speak for or against the proposed amend- ment, and the public hearing was closed. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Chairman Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board approved Petition 87-16 as stated above. The Chairman announced that this was the hour and day fixed by the Board of Commissioners for the public hearing upon the orders entitled: "ORDER AUTHORIZING $29,000,000 SANITARY SEWER BONDS" and "ORDER AUTHORIZING $2,000,000 TECHNICAL COLLEGE BONDS" and that the Board of Commissioners would immediately hear anyone who might wish to be heard on the questions of the validity of said orders or the advisability of issuing said bonds. No one appeared, either in person or by attorney, to be heard on the questions of the validity of said orders or the advisability of issuing said bonds and the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners announced that no written statement relating to said questions had been received, except Mr. Bill Bonny, residing at Mt. Pleasant, who appeared in person and stated he was against the sanitary sewer bonds because there should be a water-sewer district with those persons paying their own way, the sewer planned for the southwest quadrant of the county would not be cost beneficial, and that he favored using tax money and not long term bond obligations to build a sewer project although he would support a later sewer bond of $5 to $10 million necessary to get an industrial customer to the county. Mr. Bonny stated he supported the technical college bonds as the college would provide training for both old and young workers. Mr. Henry Alston of the Rock Hill Church Road area appeared in person and stated he supported the sewer bonds as the County has to speculate on sewer to attract new businesses and that he saw a definite need for sewer as he lives in an area where the sewer comes to the top of the ground when there is a heavy rain. Mr. Richard Kluttz of the Rimertown area appeared in person and stated he opposed the sewer bonds as in his opinion the County does not have the right to take money from him through taxes to build a sewer system for the property owner who has land that is unacceptable for a septic tank. Ail of the foregoing statements were duly considered by the Board of Commissioners.
