CNCC and the consulting group were originally looking at plot "C". After. Jesse LaRose and Brad Wollman walked around with the consulting group, they instead decided to look at    plots "A" and "B".. Jesse LaRose and Brad Wollman took these plans to the city and presented them to Marlin Eckhoff. Marlin Eckhoff then presented them with sewer and water lines. Section "A" has a private sewer line owned by the college. IfCNCC uses that plot it saves around $2,000 a unit due to tap-ins. There are already water main tap-ins and fire hydrants built. CNCC, the hospital, and Shadow Mountain are all tied into the same major sewer line. A feasibility study has already been conducted on this sewer. line and it was determined to not be at capacity. Marlin Eckhoff believes the tap-in ofr more units should not affect the  sewer line.  4.4.1.1 A project like the Fading West development was suggested.
