            WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has forwarded to the Board of Supervisors a recommendation to approve SE03-C-22 subject to certain conditions; now, therefore, be it

            RESOLVED by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors this 21^st day of July 2003, That SE03-C-22 be, and is hereby, approved subject to the following condition: 

The Applicant shall give first priority to developing the property using a publicly owned sewer system, second priority to developing with a privately built system to be conveyed to a public entity, and third priority to developing with conventional individual drainfield systems.
