1 1 1 April 22, 1974 and that the land be platted by lot and block and not by metes and bounds. The Board felt that in future years this could cause a problem. Mr. Zelinka agreed. If the land is divided by metes and bounds, the future costs to the City could be a problem. If the cost of the Survey is around the $2500.00 figure named by Mr. Herr was a fair cost, then this would only amount to a little over $100.00 per tract. This is small compared to the amount it would cost for an individual to have his land surveyed. Mr. Marier moved to write to Mr. Herr the approval of the plat with the following stipulations. Mr. Herr conform to the Planner's and Engineer's recommendations as to specifications for the street grades, the Planning and Zoning also recommended that the North East corner be found by a proper survey and the land be recorded as a plat and the descriptions be by lot and block not by metes and bounds. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if the Open Space Agreement with the County had been signed. Mr. Locher said, yes, it had been signed at the last meeting. Mr. Marier asked that the Clerk make note of this in the minutes. Mrs. Harriet Hill of Sunrise Avenue had made application for the storage of a semi - trailer, unlicensed, to be used for storage. This will be sent to the Planning and Zoning for consideration. Mr. Jaworski presented the Council with a list of the Streets within the City with recommendations as to the ones that will need repair this year. Mr. Jaworski has planned to lease a Semen mixer, purchase the materials and do the work on the streets with City personnel. Mr. Marier questioned how much was budgeted for this work. Mr. Jaworski said "he wasn't certain of the exact figure but the bulk of the money budgeted was for this work. He also reported that some work should be done on Pine and 24th Avenue but felt that the work needed would be too costly for the City to attempt this year. He felt that we should take care of the roads that were oiled last year in order to keep the base we have and to improve what is already there. There was discussion on the proper method of dealing with the problem streets. The general consensus of the Council was that Mr. Jaworski should consult with Mr. Gotwald as to the best way to surface these streets, but it was generally felt that some sort of a matt should be laid. Mr. Jaworski will work this out with Mr. Gotwald and present the recommendations at the next Council meeting. Mr. Jaworski had checked the trucks that Mr. Rehbein had mentioned at the last Council meeting. There were some differences, a smaller engine, smaller tires, the axle weight was less, standard transmission. Mr. Jaworski felt most of the differences could be accepted. He wondered if the 361 c.u. engine would be adequate for the amount of snow plowing that must be done by the city. Mr. Rehbein said that this size engine had given better performance. There was some problems with the larger engine. He thought the larger tires might cause some problems but felt this could be checked with the companies. Mr. Jaworski said that he would rewrite the specs and have them ready for the next Council meeting.
