contain 147 lots.Park areas would be 1.7 acres and 2.9 acres.
City Eng.Steve Pierce gave his concerns as to the down side of both
proposals.First he said it may be hard to get Sanitary sewer out that
far.Ideally,growth should be from the middle of the city outward
rather than from the outer borders in.But,he stated also that septic
tank are not good as they will fail someday.
It was decided then that city staff &developers should get together on
this &then approach P&Z.
Steve Pierce then presented results of stady on sanitary sewer.Trunk
line to N.W.industrial area is on contract.This will be 4-41/2 mi.
of line including water main &sanitary sewer at a cost of approx.4Million.

for approval of projects.No approval should be given until all bonds
&other obligations are met.
Foster stated that if these obligations are not met then they should not
even be put on P&Z agenda.Huscher agreed and said that the city staff
should be responsible for checking that items are met first.Developers
should come to P&Z for preliminary informal discussions with no action
taken.It was also stated that P&Z shoudl stop having so many special
meetings.
Chairman Casey then stated he would like to have P&Z meetings moved to
4th Tues of month.Steve Pierce added that he would like to have a 2
week deadline for documents so engineers have time to study and make
recommendations.Casey also felt that t P&Z member should not have to
take minutes of the meetings as it takes that member away from participating
