(2) Castle Design - Update The engineer reminded the council that Castle Design owns a vacant lot in the Lanes DeMontreville Addition (a sub -standard lot) and applied for a shoreland permit. When the application was denied it was pointed out that the City storm sewer emptied across the Castle Design lot. The engineer and maintenance department were instructed to take care of the problem. The engineer and maintenance foreman have reviewed the situation, measured up what materials are needed to be ordered, etc. The engineer called Ken Gervais of Castle Design and they discussed the need for a temporary construction easement on his property to correct the drainage probelm because the right-of-way is quite narrow. Mr. Gervais stated that he would not give a temporary construction easement, so we are faced with the situation of doing the work, but may have to condemn-the>.constructiop=Basemen=t. There was discussion on alternatives to the engineer's original plans to alleviate this problem. Consensus of the council is to send a letter formally asking. Mr.- Gervais for a temporary construction easement and if the City is denied, to take no action at this time. 8. City Council Reports A. Mike Mazzara: Update on the 7-18-84 Waste -To -Energy neighborhood meeting. iI Mazzara stated that there were about 21 property owners from Section 32 in attendance at this meeting, along with Doug Wood, project coordinator for the Waste -To -Energy Project. It was explained to the residents the difference in the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and mass -burn facilities. The program is still basically in limbo - what the Board has done is elected to take a two -stage procuremnt process to get proposal from the RDF first, and if the figures prove what they have been talking about, it is about 50% cheaper than the mass -burn facility. The Board is also putting together options on land in Section 32 that is effected.
