Vernon Schoen: "I think on these variances, if the Council wishes to use those for such things, I think that they should follow through on their Variance Ordinance." City Attorney Crookston: "The Variances fall within the Land Use Planning Act. For Variances from the Zoning Ordinances or Comprehensive Plan, you are suppose to go through the hearing procedure." Barkel was instructed to contact the City Clerk to receive the necessary-- applications and instructions needed to obtain a variance.

Item _8 Councilman Rick Orton - RE: Claim by Roy Haney for Water Heater Councilman Orton explained that Mr. Haney had sent a letter to the City requesting their participation in a repair bill for his hot water heater in the amount of $222.67. Orton: "I did spend some time today with Mr. Haney and with Bruce (Stuart) checking out what had occured out there." "We have standard water meter installation at Mr. Haney's house, and part of that installation is a check valve to stop water from comming back into the public system from a private residence. Again, that is our standard meter hook-up installation." "We changed over to the new system November 81. It was operational and working fine. When Mr. Haney changed water tanks and relocated his water tank, for some reason it built up pressure in his system more than he had previously experienced, and it caused the blow-out valve on his new water heater to pop open and drain off the pressure." "Mr. Haney had the installers come out and check the hot water heater and replace the blow-out valve. In order to placate the situation, until I got back, Bruce removed the interior of the check valve so it's no longer a check valve function, it's open now. Apparently Mr. Haney's problem stopped before or on that time. My opinion, and I think Bruce's opinion based on my conservation with hisn this afternoon is, that the check valve is important to us to stop back flow from comming into our system." "It is a standard feature, and to my knowledge there was no malfunction that had anything to do with Mr. Haney's problem. Therefore I would recommend that we deny the claim,-and put the "guts" back in the check valve right away. We must stop that back flow from coming ins." Haney: "What about all the other houses along the street that don't have check valves? All that water is going back down." Orton: "We have check valves on 60~a of the system." Stuart: "About 80~ along that street." Gary Smith, City Engineer: "I might state,..that the check valve is a standard item, putt. out by Ford Meter, so there is nothing alien to a_watet meter or a yolk." "It is put out for that use." Brewer: "I felt that there was very professional counsel here the night that Mr. Haney was here. I would hate to have this run over tonight when Mr. Haney doesn't have his people .here. " Mayor Glaisyer: "Do you want to meet with their (Haney's) plumber, Rick?" Councilman Orton: "Not particularly. I don't think that there is anything else to find out. I have verified that our equipment was operation as i:t was suppose to operate, I think that is probably when our duty ends." Orton explained that he had spoke with the plumber on the~-telephone already. "I did listen to what he said", Orton said. Meridian City Council 4. May 2, 1983 Item 8 Claiun by Roy Haney for Water Heater Cont'd .
