5/ ~ e :1 I Committee meeting held July 21, 1966: "Present: Mayor Cone, Councilmen Hawk, Lauris, Chatt, Crakes, Purdy, McNu~t, A~derson and Lassen; City Manager and staff; and others. 1 1.. Drainage Ditch - Avalon Street and Wil1hi' Street. A petition was read, opposing the digging of a drainage ditch along Avalon Street and Wi1lhi Street in the Bethe1-Danebo area. Present City policy with regard to unimproved streets pro- vides for a gravel shoulder of minimum width and a small ditch along the street to provide drainage for the pavement. The property owners take the position that since they had a 4-inch drainage tile which was removed by the contractot when installing the sewers, the City should replace the tile without cost. The Public Works Department reported that the old 4-inch tile was encountered whea sanitary sewer construction was started in the area, and that it would be difficult to maintain a grad~ by replacing the ~ile in the top of t?e sanitary sewer line e trench. Public Works also advised that the 4-inch drainage tile does not meet City standards. Mr. Las~en moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to insta1i the drainage tile according to the property owne!s request at the City's expense with the under- standing that the City will not maintain the tile. Motion carried. Several residents of Avalon and Wil1hi Streets asked if the ditch ~n these streets would be fi1ied and the property restored to the same condition as existed before sewer construction was begun. I Mr. Hawk explained that re-insta1ling t~e 4-inch tile was at best only a temporary solution. Mr. Lassen re-emphasized that the City will not maintai~ the 4-inch tile installation. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mr. Crakes to approve Item 1 of the Commit~ee report. Ro1'lcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, motion ca~ried. 2 2.. Planning Commission Report - July 11, 1966 a. Annexation - Van Duyn Street between Sisters View Street and Westward Ho Avenue, Jackson. Mr. Hawk moved, seconded by Dr, Purdy to approve this annexation as recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion carried. b. Rezone - 110 Danebo Avenue, AR to M-3, Van Deinse and Allum. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. McNutt to approve this rezoning according to Planning Commission recommendati~n subject to the condition that the petitioners' enter into an agreement with the City that there will be no gravel excavation other than on-site use and that if the subsequent relocation of Highway 126 should result in any M-3 land lying north of the Highway, it is understood that there will be reconsideration and probable rezon~ng of the property to whatever zone is appropriate at the ~ime.

Sanitary Sewer Easement - Pioneer Pike, Hannum. ~he Public Works Department has I determined that installation of the sewer line across the property owned by Roger Hannum (Tax Lot 5300, 17-03-29-12) provides the only practical method of providing the residents of the Pioneer Pike area with sewer service. Since Mr. . Hannum's prop- erty would receive no benefit from the sewer through the back hal~ of his lot, it was recommended that the assessment for his property be deferred until such time as the property requires use of the system for ~hat portion of land outside of the 160-foot assessment for the existing residence. Dr. Purdy moved, seconded by Mr. Lassen that the easement be acquired according to the Public Works Department re- commendation at a cost of $662.25. Motion carried. e Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mr. Crakes to approve Item 3 of the Committee report. Rollcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, motion carried. 4 4. Library - Magazine Research Center, Basement. Plans and specifications were pre- sented showing the plans for the proposed Magazine Research Center to be constructed in the basement of the Library. The Library Board has approved the plan. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mr. Chatt to approve construction. Motion carried. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mr. Crakes to approve Item 4 of the Committee report. Rollcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, motion.carried. 5 5. Oakway Golf Course Purchase. The City Manager explained there were several methods whereby the City could acquire Oakway Golf Course. The best method, at the present time appears to be filing of an application for a 50% Federal Open-Space grant and I the formation of a non-profit corporation which would issue bonds and pledge revenues to retire the bonds for the balance of the cost. He recommended as a first step that the City make application for Federal Open~Space funds. Mr. McNutt moved seconded by Dr. Purdy to make application for a Federal Open-Space grant for the purchase of Oakway Golf Course. Motion carried.
