Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. PROPERTY It was noted that the Planning Commission tabled action on the request DIVISION - for the division of 3240 Twin Lake Road into three lots pending additional 3240 TWIN information on the issue of access to the City's sanitary sewer line in this LAKE ROAD area. The Public Works Director reported that the City currently leas a 15 foot utility easement from Twin Lake Road to the sanitary sewer line which runs along the back of the lots abutting Twin Lake. The Director reported that from the end of unimproved Mitchell Trail to the lake he is requesting that the easement be widened to 20 feet that that a gravel road be installed to provide access for Public Works vehicles to the sanitary sewer line.

It was noted that there are 2 or 3 access points to the sanitary sewer line that abuts the lake. The Director gave the Council some past history related to maintenance of the sewer line noting the City's need for periodic access to this line. Scalze asked if any trees would have to be removed in order to put in the gravel road. The Director indicated that he would try to avoid trees if possible.
