Gary what's the alignment for Pine, is it going to go straight through there or has there been any discussion on that? Eng.

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 5, 1991 PAGE *2 Kingsford: I agree with that Don, I do have some reservations about the additional permanent mobile home sites. I do agree with Bob the area does need an overnight area. It terms of location I have a little reservation at least until Pine goes through, and this is a ways from the Interchange. Harris: Approximately how long would it take for the Council to get a feel of whether or not this would be applicable or not. Kingsford: I would say that after about a week or so you could call the Councilmen and get their feelings.

Crookston: Explained briefly the codes concerned with this Resolution. Giesler: What is the difference between this and the Occupancy Permit?

On the sewer on Meridian Road, I met with Wayne Forrey last week and we discussed the project, and I haven't talked to him since so I'm not sure where he is on the contact. Clerk Niemann: He called today and stated he would bring the rough draft of the letter out in the morning. He did make contact with the Highway District and they don't have any problems. Smith: We need to take time to contact the people that live out on N. Meridian Road and advise them of the sewer situation, what we can do and how much time its going to take and what costs are involved with making that installation. Based on the information received at the Public Information Meeting that the Highway District held here at City Hall there was alot of interest from the people that live out there to have City sewer and water. I spoke with the Mayor and it was decided to retain Wayne Forrey and have him put together an information letter and request to those people to assemble here on a certain date to discuss the project. I have also done some work with JUB Engineers about the pipe up the south slQU8-n it looks like based on th~ preliminary work that has been done we are looking at a depth crossing there of about 16 feet, and that depth would allow us to continue that trunk line to the east up the south slcuJh ocd would get us to a quarter mile west of Cloverdale Road. Tolsma: Do we have a cost figure? Smith: $50,000, was just on the eight inch line south of Blue Heron Lane and if there is a sewer line installed north of Blue Heron Lane then of course thats going to be additional cost. Further Discussion. (TAPE ON FILE) (Kingsford: Thankyou Gary. I believe there is one other person who wishes to address Council. Harlan Rensvold, l800 East Pine: I purchased this property four years ago, it was a shambles when I bought it, I spent four years fixing the home up, making it a good place for my family to live and I really can't see trailer houses being put around a home. I don't care what he does with the nine acres behind the house, but the acre on this side and the acre on my left side I don't want trailer houses or campers put around there. If you do decide to let him build this out there, I would like to see that he would have to either sell that one acre parcels for people to be able to build a home on. If Mr. Harris wants to pursue it, then he can buy my property then he won't have to build a house and he can live back in his old house but that's the only way I'm going to stand for it. Giesler: Do you have a problem with this concept right here? Rensvold: As long as it's moved down away from here. Showed Council on the drawing the area he is talking about. Kingsford: Thank you for coming.
