sented a development by Henry Krohn located south of Evergreen

A concern of the Commission was what additional housing would
do to the capacity of existing sewer lines.Howard Hargis
stated that from his calculations,this development would add
less than 1%additional sewage to the system.The Commission
asked Roger Buffington,the City engineer,what the cost of a
new sewer line would be going south from 4th Street to the lagoons
and he state that in the recently complete Facility Study,it
stated that it could cost upwards of $400,00.00 to complete.
No action was taken on this since this was a pre-plat conference.
Consideration of amendment to Section 303.167 of the Waukee
Municipal Code was given.
A motion was made by Keller,and seconded by Felt,to Not adopt
the amendment to Section 303.167.Passed unanimously.
It is not the wishes of the Commission to be in difference to
the feeling of the Council,but after discussing the current
financial situation of the gas system and the cities debts,it
was felt by the Commission that the City could not afford to
outlay a large sum of money (approximately $15,000.00,just
for Glenview-:.Manor)in one lump sum and not see a return for
its investment for quite some time.
