Corrie: I hereby open the Pre-Council Meeting of November 21, 2000, Tuesday. The time is 6:45 p.m. Mr. Clerk, roll-call, please. Let the record show that all the Council is present.
Corrie: Council, what would you like to do on the Consent Agenda?
Anderson: It’s just like no presenting new updates.
Corrie: Staff, any new updates on the Consent Agenda Items A through H?
Stiles: I have none.
Item H. 2001 Beer License Renewal: Maverik Store by Hyde Stauffer – 1805 Cherry Lane:
Anderson: Is the beer license – is that signed by the Police Department? I didn’t see anything on it.
Bird: It’s all taken care of.
Corrie: It’s by the State and also by the City. They paid their $50.00.
(Inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: Captain Bowman, on the license for Maverik Store, has it all been signed – Police Department approved and all?
Bowman: Yes, it has.
Bird: There isn’t anything we need to pull off the Consent Agenda, is there, that I can see or that I looked at. Everything looks fine to me.
Item 8. Department Reports:
A. City Engineer – Gary Smith:
2. Request to hook up to City Sewer by Warren and Jeanie Pemberton – 940 South Mustang Drive:
Corrie: On Department Reports, Gary, I know that Warren and Jeanie Pemberton are here. Can we hear what it is and then we can – at the end, if they don’t want to stay – I’d like to
have you stay or it’s going to be a very quiet meeting here, not that you’re going to be really vocal – Gary, why don’t you fill us in on what these two are.
Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council members. These folks live on the easterly side of Locust Grove Heights. Their property backs up to the recently installed sewer extension that
was built by Voigt under the interstate to Overland Road. They have been having septic tank drain field problems. According to the correspondence, they’re pumping the tank monthly
– weekly.
Unidentified: Ten months.
Smith: Ten months between, okay. There is some concern about the ability to locate another drain field on the property. Apparently, this is problem according to the information they’ve
been able to find. Previous owner – it’s been a – it’s had some history to it. It’s had some problems for quite some time. Their request is to connect rather than go to the expense
of digging up the drain field and replacing that is to connect to the sewer line that exists on property adjacent to their property. Wanda Buckert, I believe, is the property owner’s
name. That’s the request. We have a little bit of concern of not just this property, but other property that would be adjacent to that sewer line connecting into the trunk, thereby
eliminating any need for them to connect to a future sewer line or become a participant in a future sewer line installation within the subdivision in the public right-of-way. It kind
of takes them out of the – it takes those property or this property. This one wouldn’t be a deal killer as far as an LID, for example, if that ever happened in that subdivision for
a sewer line, but it would effectively take the properties out of participation because they are already connected in another manner.
Anderson: Are they contiguous to the City limits right now?
Smith: They are not – not their property. The subdivision that they’re within is contiguous to Woodbridge to the north, but the individual lot that we’re talking about this evening
is not. I would suspect as development takes place in that Magic View area, those properties will continue to be annexed – the large lots that are developing commercially. When that
happens, assuming that Buckert’s property is one of those that sells and is annexed, then this property would be adjacent to – contiguous to City limits. Hopefully, I’ve related the
situation. Is that what exists out there?
Pemberton: I think our issue would be that we have two-story. Our basement is in the ground. I’ve already done a scuba-tank into my septic system. I didn’t much care for that. From
what it looks like Fermon had, I’ve got cesspool-type setup. I’ve talked to the neighbors, and he said he dug up a great big hole, and he filled it full of rock. I really don’t have
a clue what’s going on with this system. To fix it, there was supposedly two places that he has this tied in. My only concern would be is that if we had a sewer system brought into
our subdivision, whether or not it’d be deep enough for my basement. I know the one that’s behind our property is – a deep line to where I could get out and hook up to it without building
a pump station or a lift station or something like that to get it to our basement.
Corrie: Council, any other questions or concerns about the Consent Agenda or the Department Reports? Any other information you need or want?
Bird: I have everything.
Anderson: I don’t have any wants or desires.
Corrie: I’ll entertain a motion that we all adjourn.
Bird: So moved.
Corrie: Okay. We’ll be back at 7:30.
MEETING ADJOURNED AT 6:54 P.M.
