• COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 24, 1997 Council Member Kuether asked if the intention of this project is to include utility stubs over to the east side up Lake Drive as on the south side of 79th Street. Mr. Ahrens indicated that although stubbing is not proposed as part of this project, it can be accomplished if ordered by Council. Mayor Landers clarified that closure of the public hearing initiates the beginning of the 60 -day waiting period. Council Member Lyden asked that consideration be given during the waiting period to stubbing for the east side of Lake Drive. Council Member Kuether asked why the stubbing was not considered at the inception of this project. Mr. Ahrens stated that it was unclear at that time how Council would wish to consider service to that entire corridor, and that is not clear that 100% coverage is desirable. Motion carried unanimously.
