Minutes-12/10/1986

Minutes December 10, 1986 Stoffer presented preliminary plat of Gracehill Estates as redrawn to conform to all recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning street width, sidewalks, lift station, looping of water mains and size of water mains. Stoffer suggested that when the revenue from the sewer fees in the subdivision covers the operating expenses of the lift station, the city could take over the lift station. Until that time, perhaps the city's utilities director could take care of the maintenance and the city could bill his time to the owners of the subdivision. This will be discussed at the time the final plat is presented. A RESOLUTION APPROVING PROLIMINARY PLAT OF GRACEHILL SUBDIVISION was introduced by Stoner and seconded by Runge. Roll call vote: Flansburg, aye; Stoner, aye; Stratton, aye; Stratton, aye; Morgan, absent. Mayor Potter declared Resolution No. 1986-17 duly passed and adopted.
