MINUTES City Counc9l May 13, 1981 Council's concern was that other cities are requiring this to provide for the condominium possi6ility on duplexes and fourplexes in ~he future. The City Engineer stated that there would be no prob1em with only having one sewer connection per bui1ding. Mr. Forsberg stated that he could not see requiring four separate water lines for a fourplex. Forsberg suggested tha~ ~four meters woul~ be run from one 1ine. Mr. Fahey stated that the City would be protected in so far as an unpa9d water b~ill cou1d constitute a lien on the property. Mr. Hughes stated that he has built approximately 50 fourplexes and he has not been required to run more than one waterline per bui1ding. Hughes stated that ~this is requ9red in some cities for zero lot lines> but it is not required on one ownership buildings. Mr. Fahey suggested that the City provide in the PUD Agreement that should these buildings ever condominiumize that separate water lines would be required. future Mayor Nanson questioned whether the City shou1cl consider some of the other Im~rovements improvements not yet made in the City as the City wi11 have a contractor in for the improvement of Park Street. Mrs. Nardini suggested that this would be the time to consider watermain improvement for Rice Street. Mr. Forsberg suggested that the City advertise that they will cons~der other improvements in the City at this time, and anyone interested shou1d submit petitions. The Engineer suggested that other hearings could be held before the Park Street improvement was ordered. Mr. Fahey stated that he did not think the City should go out and sol5cit water projects. Fahey felt the people shou1d come in on their own with petitions. Fahey also suggested that Rice Street be considered. Mayor Nanson suggested that the City Engineer prioritize his 1ist of improvements not yet made in the City and the Council can consider the improvements in the near future. The City C1erk stated that the Park Street improvement shou1~ be made by itse1f. Any other improvements would need a bond sale, and bonds may not sell at this time.
