Attorney Meyers replied <br />that the other property owner would have to get approval tosplit off his property. <br />Administrator Achen stated that it could be handled as a consolidated effort and <br />costs could be minimized. He also recommended that the Council either table the <br />matter and allow the applicant and anyone else interested the opportunity to <br />discuss the issue as far as putting services down Silver Lake Road, or just set a <br />hearing and invite everyone in to discuss it. <br />MSP (Pickar - Rowley) to table any action and set an informational meeting for 9:00 PM <br />on February 13, 1978 and direct the City Administrator to notify the property <br />owners of the hearing. 4 ayes <br />Mayor Pickar closed the public hearing and reopened the general meeting. <br />
