Pebble Park Tennis Court Improvement - Final Payment Parks Commission Chairwoman, Sue Dunn and Parks Commissioner Nancy Hansen asked that the City defer final payment of this tennis court improvement until the tennis court could be inspected by the City Engineer. Hansen stated that she visited the court after a rainfall, and there was water standing in three different locations. She stated she was unhappy with the overall appearance of the court and asked that the City Engineer inspect it before final payment was made. She further stated that her major concern is the length of time the water would stand on the court. The Engineer stated that he was unable to visit the court after the rainfall, but asked the Maintenance Foreman to check it out. The Maintenance Foreman agreed that there was water standing, but according to his calculations, using a method of measurement as directed by the Engineer, was less than 1/8 of an inch. \- M/S/P Fraser/Dunn - To defer final payment to Sjolstrom, Inc. for the resurfacing of the Pebble Park Tennis Courts until they are inspected by the City Engineer. (Motion carried 4-0). B. Public Hearing for application by Loetscher/Dickhausen for a simple lot subdivision and lot size zoning variance at 3063 Jamley Avenue. Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was opened at 8:07 p.m. in the City Council chambers. The applicants, Mrs. Daniel Dickhausen and Mr. Russell Loetscher were present at this public hearing to review their applications The Council reviewed the application, the City Administrator's background information and the memo from the City Engineer dated August 27, 1984. The Council further reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve this application - their contention being that the housing units were built before the code was adopted and that the existing situation of having two houses on one lot is a worse situation than having two,sub-standard sized lots. The minimum requirements suggested by the City Engineer were that the. applicant show that there is sufficient room so each septic system can be upgraded to meet the present City code. This would involve soil testing, appropriate design, and a scale drawing showing the layout, and pointed out that neither of these homes are in the 201 Program.
