Commission. Where recommendations for disapproval of [construc-
tion items] a project or a portion thereof or recommendations of
designations of limited access are received from the Park and Plan-
ning Commission, the County Council shall separately consider and
vote on each item which received such recommendation. [for dis-
approval or designation of limited access.] If the County Council
shall recommend the addition of a new project or an advance in the
priority of any project in Montgomery County, the Sanitary Com-
mission may, in its discretion, amend its program accordingly, but
only if such amendment can be accomplished without causing the
deletion or deferral of any project scheduled or proposed for Prince
George's County. [The County Council shall also have the authority
to veto, and direct that no construction be commenced on, any proj-
ect which has been previously approved but not yet contracted for
construction within three years of its first approval by the Council.]

first five year program, and at the time of transmitting each annual
revision to the County Council for Montgomery County, the Commis-

which have not been completed as of the date of the transmitted
program. The Commission shall identify the project, give the date
of approval or the dates of approval if it has been approved on more
than one occasion, and indicate the current status thereof and an
estimate of the date of completion of construction.

or capacity beyond the approved terminal point of a five year proj-

a new development which is net within either an approved sewer proj-
ect area or with respect to which the Montgomery County Health
Department has approved the installation of individual sewage dis-
posal facilities, unless the County Council has first approved such
extension, [of such lines of any size or capacity beyond such point.]
Any extension requiring County Council approval under this sub-
section shall be submitted to the Council in the usual form of com-
munication between the Council and, the Commission, and unless
within thirty days after receipt of the Commission's material the
