Width of pavement increased from 29 to 31 foot in agreement with design standards.

Question regarding' uility easements and improvements between large lots along the south tier of the plat I-Iigh said he didn' t really know, it would depend much on the ultimate user and that the city could expect and he would agree that all site plans would require city review and approval prior to construction. High explained that the 10 year exemption for taxes includes a sliding scale that begins at 80% exemption in first year, down to the final two years at 20% exemption. Engineer Hart had explained during the last regular meeting that the effective rate over all was slightly less than 50% exemption over the ten years. Doug Frederick explained that 2020 is the proposed year for the entire program to end. For example if an improvement came in 2008, the exemption would end' 2018. An improvement beginning 2009 would end 2019. Bartels departed 7: 20 p. m. Members asked about driveway access to the oversize lots, and about rear access or exit.
