2 August 27, 1979 Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The hearing on the layout design for the expansion of Baldwin Lake Trailer Park was called to order at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Locher said these lands hadn been rezoned to R -6. Mr. McLean noted that the Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of this expansion and layout. Mr. McLean read the motion of the Council accepting this layout. There was some discussion on the fire hydrant aspect since there is no central water supply. It was generally understood, that if these are not required by the State, the City will not require. Mayor Karth asked for comments from the audience. Mrs. Williams, the land owner to the North presented some pictures of the area abutting her property that is being used as an area to store unwanted objects. She felt that in order to protect her investment, there should be a fence installed along the common property line. 1 Mr. Howard said they plan to landscape that lot line and plant bushes, such as Russion Olive. Mrs. Williams said she preferred a fence. There was some discussion on this problem. It was generally felt by the Council that a natural screening would be better, and it was suggested that per- haps a temporary fence such as snow fencing could be used to protect the young trees. Mr. McLean moved to accept the July 2, 1979 drawing of the design lay- out of the Baldwin Lake Trailer Park expansion to include street, lot sizes, fire hydrants to be installed as to the direction of the State Health Department when appropriate, snow fenceing on the north line with bush type screening to be planted on the park property (i.e. Russian Olive) to include ingress and egress and sewer access to the private parcels of land located within the park boundaries. The sewer in- stallation costs to be at the private owners expense. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion declared passed. Mr. McLean moved to close the hearing at 9:10 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz.

Mr. Gotwald explained the differences in the estimated costs and the bid price obtained from Schifsky. The actual bid proce of $3850.00 will bring this street up to City specifications.
