MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 8, 1990 Fahey felt the proposal offered by Blesener was too great a departure from City standards. Fahey suggested that Mr. Stewart pursue the City Engineer's cost estimates with Mr. Buche. Scalze stated that if it is the desire of the Council to require less than a standard road for two or three lots, then that should be adopted as a City policy and applied fairly across the City. Collova pointed out that the proposal is only for one additional lot. Collova pointed out that Blesener's proposal involved a public road, although the width was narrower than standard and curb and gutter was not proposed. Fahey stated that he was willing to look at something the City Planner could develop that would be applied across-the-board in these situations. However, Fahey did not feel City standards should be cut just so it is feasible for Stewart to build. Collova pointed out that it is not possible to develop a policy that will fit every case, that is the reason for the variance procedure. Fahey agreed that the City's variance standards are pretty tough. RECESS At this point in the meeting, 9:00 P.M., the Council took a short recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:08 P.M. STANKE The City Engineer reviewed correspondence outlining WATERMAIN the need for watermain extension under Ryan Drive to EXTENSION the Stanke property to serve a sprinkler system within Mr. Stanke's building. The Engineer also outlined soil conditions under Ryan Drive and the various alternatives for installation of the watermain. The Engineer pointed out that the most feasible alternative involves floating the watermain on the peat and using ball-joint pipe. Under those conditions, the Engineer stated that the City could consider accepting responsibility for the watermain. The Engineer pointed out that 40 to 50 feet of ball-joint pipe would be necessary, and this pipe is expensive. Page 11
