<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">As I understand, because she was going to expand the footprint of the house, King County wanted her to add two trench infiltration systems to her yard that were to be attached to the existing
gutter system (as near I can see from the sketch.) Being enthusiastic about her remodel, she recorded the covenant.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
