This request meets all the City Ordinances and setbacks. Morgan moved, seconded by Armstrong, to approve the garage permit for Don Erickson. Motion carried 4-0. A. Hardy Driveway - The Engineer reviewed a survey showing the Hardy property and the City's two parcels. There is a 16 1/2 ' strip of land between those parcels and remaining property. It appears to be the remains of an old road bed. The bridge foundation is not on the Hardy or City property; but is on a triangular piece of unclear ownership. The tax records show Lowell -Reid -as-- - owner, ut he indicated he does not have a deed nor does he pay taxes on it. It may be tax forfeit. At one time, he granted easement rights to the ,previous owners of the Hardy property for access to the property. A title search may be necessary. The County is in the process of purchasing this parcel and they may be willing to grant an easement to the Hardy's. Bohrer had two bids for the driveway: Pete Miller Excavating, $5,250; and Carl Olinger, $5,116.06. Bids were high because 500 additional yards of fill will be needed and the work will take more than two days. They will also remove and dispose of the 4' diameter culvert. Pott asked what the City will get out of this work. The intent was to clear the channel, and reduce flooding upstream. The original plan was to remove two small culverts and put in oversized ones for $11,000. This driveway was considered a less costly alternative. The cost could have been cut had material on site been used and the National Guard done the work. The Engineer indicated that since there is more than 11 ft. difference in elevation in some places all the fill material could not comma from the site. Armstrong moved, seconded by Johnson, to accept the .low bid, Carl Olinger, and begin work on the improvement. Discussion - Morgan questioned the possibility of compromising the height of of the driveway to half of what Hardy's desire in order to keep the cost to the City more reasonible.
