Mayor Karth suggested the water tank would be put in another location and then the house will be 28' from the street right -of -way and the variance could be issued. Mr. Blackbird, representing El Rehbein & Son was in the audience and explained that the well or step all could be sealed off and asked the Council to grant a variance for the remaining 2'.

He asked if these ponds should be deeded to the City?

The Clerk will check with Mr. Schilling to see if a copy of the agreement Mr. Schilling and the adjoining landowner can be obtained for the office files.

He has not looked at it yet but will and write the Clerk a letter instructing her what is needed to reconstruct the street. He will also meet with Mr. LeRoux and the Building Inspector and determine how the mining should continue. He felt if it was done in a small area the City could monitor it easier.
