(3) April 17, 1974 Mr. Bill Meyer was here to discuss the connection of water and sewer to the town houses in Lakes Addition # 2. Mr. Gotwald recommendations were read. He suggested that a bond would need to be posted for the restoration of the street that would have to be excavated in the process of installing these lines. Mr. Meyer agreed to this. The access to these Properties was discussed, Mr. Marier felt that the access to this property should be a public street. Mr. Meyer said he didn't feel this was the intent at this time. He felt that a private driveway had been planned. He will contact Mr. Gotwald on this. The Variances for the transfer of the property at Lino Park was discussed. This is necessary to realign the North line of the Park. The legals are in order. Mr. L'Allier moved to recommend approval of these variances. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried. There was discussion on the sign permit applications. Some have been returned and paid, some have not. fir. L'Allier moved to recommend approval of the ones that have been returned. Seconded by Mr. Kelling. Motion carried. Mr. Amundsen asked the Board if the 1973 State Building Code had been adopted by the City. He was told that both the Building Code and the Plumbing Code had been adopted. Mr. Amundsen felt that if the Building Code had been adopted in its entirety, then the City is in violation of Chapter 3 dealing with permit fees. The fees set by the State are much higher than the ones now charged by the City. Mr. Marier will discuss this at the Council meeting on Mcnday, April 22, 1974. Mr. Amundsen will attend this meeting. Mr. Amundsen also brought up the subject of a minimum fee. He felt that on additions where the fee under the present system of computation is $5.00Jbr less, that he is losing money on the time involved inspecting these structures. He suggested a minimum fee of $10.00. There was general discussion on the need for this. rir. Amundsen was asked what sort of a report does he make in connection with the inspection of buildings. Mr. Marier said there is supposed to be a quarterly report from both the building inspector and the plumbing inspector. Mr. Amundsen explained that he has a file with a copy of the blueprint with his notes on this blueprint. He did not know of a report. Mr. Hill felt that some record should be kept of the inspections - when they were made and Mr. Amundsen's observations. I -Ie felt that the inspections of the footings was the most important one. Mr. Nadeau suggested some sort of a printed form that Mr. Amundsen could fill out as he inspects. This should be sent along with the permit. Mr. Kelling moved to adjourn at 10:20 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Ave.
