on July 23 recommended the Council approve the lot split contingent upon
resolving the issues raised in the City Engineer's letter of July 9.
The City Engineer stated that both lots could be better served by sewer I
in Erie Avenue. The property was assessed for two units in the Sunrise
Hills project. The end of the service for the property is in the northwe
corner of the property. The City Engineer recommended the extension
of a sewer line in Erie Avenue be financed by assessments against the
Donald Schmieg, Mike Sorenson, and Char-Lyn properties. The total
estimated cost is $5,900.
The City Attorney suggested that Mr. Sorenson will have two lots. The
larger lot will not be assessed because it has the benefit of sewer already.
Sewer access will be cut off from the rear to the other lot by the lot
subdivision. This lot will have access to the proposed sewer in Erie
Avenue and would be assessed one unit.
A motion was made by Councilman Neveaux and seconded by Councilman Shulstad
to approve the lot split as recommended by the Planning Commission and
subject to the survey. The following voted in favor: Mayor Klingelhutz,
