4 • 4/19/72 3) All certification shall be on an annual basis and shall be based upon lo- cal enforcement. Failure to enforce may result in revocation of certification." Mr. Keliing moved to recommend to the Council that we have the attorney submit our present Sign Code to the State for their certification. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Carried unanimously. Permit #20, Access to inspect Sign on 35W is to be laid over until the next meeting. It was requested that Mr. Bratland come to the meeting. It was requested that Mr. Marier make our recommendations exactly as we state them. He noted it would be necessary for him then, to receive the P &Z minutes prior to each Council meeting. Mr. Glenn Rehbein asked for a variance for overhead wiring in his Shenandoah project. Since there will be no sewer in there this summer he cannot put in any utilities underground, and blacktopping the roads would be unfeasible. He said it would cost him between $6,000 and $15,000 per month to haul sewage. The cost would be prohibitive. A letter from Lonnie E. Dye, Metro Sewer Board, April 7, 1972, was read. Also a letter to Mr. Rehbein, dated April 19, 1972, from Milner Carley, in which they outline his only two alternatives "neither of which is good. First, pump- ing the sewage would seem to us to be uneconomical. Second, individual septic tanks would provide only temporary service and prevent you from obtaining the proper financing to further the sale of homes." Glenn has sold 8 homes, with 6 up. Two parties have a June 1st occupancy date. He can't get gas in since it is the last utility which would be put in under- ground. He's going to have to go to fuel oil. Mr. Keliing stated that, since he proceded in good faith, and has been confronted by circumstances beyond his control or ours, we recommend to the Council that they allow him to put in over- head wiring, that percolation tests and water tests be made before sewers are installed, and that money be put in escrow for future blacktopping. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Carried unanimously. Mr. McLean also suggested that he consider putting homes on every other lot if he doesn't meet the percolation tests. The Plumbing Inspector, Jerome Boyd, had a set of recommendations, based on the State Code, which he would like the Clerk to make a copy of and hand out with the permits. The consensus was that he should give them to Mr. Marier who would go through them and then submit them to the Council. Mr. Boyd also had several other suggestions. First, that before the permit is issued, a plan should be submitted that shows the elevation of property, situa- tion of proposed sewer and water, neighbor's sewer and water, etc. This would make it possible to see if it is a suitable site for the proposed system. Sec- ond, the Code says copper pipe is not recommended for a septic system. He would like ours to read that copper pipe cannot be used with a septic system. It was advised that Mr. Locher should look at what the intent of the code is in this area. Mr. Keliing moved to adjourn at II P.M. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Carried unanimously.
