Notice of the hearing was published on two dates--December 5 and December 12, 1963. Slightly over 900 notices were mailed out for this hearing, some of which were based on water billings. Approximately forty persons attended the hearing. Mr. Meyers stated that the hearing on this date was the third and last hearing scheduled for the improvement consisting of sanitary sewer lateral lines. This meeting covered the area north of Highway 10 and West of Long Lake Road, Knollwood area and West of Groveland, involving the large lots. The first hearing was for the whole Village covering 1,960 parcels of land, and notices were sent to all addresses available. This hearing was for the main interceptor line. The second hearing was for the laterals to serve the area generally called "Pinewood" and "Twelve Oaks". The hearing at this time is for sanitary sewer laterals in the area described above and specifical- ly detailed in the published notice on Page (1) of these minutes. Mr. Meyers reviewed the history of the sewer improvement program from the time it was first presented to the Council. The problem first arose in September of 1958 at which time it was brought to the attention of the Council. The Village was incorporated in this same year and immediately began investigat- ing the possible outlets for a sewer system. Petitions signed by 200 persons had been presented to the Council indicating a need for sewer improvement in certain areas. Methods were discussed at that time but there was no outlet for sewage available. In February of 1959 a delegation appeared before the Council requesting consideration of either a sanitary sewer system or water system and, at that time, the Council requested the Village Engineer to make a preliminary study for the Village. Mr. Meyers pointed out that the Council is legally charged with checking out any requests that appear to be reasonable -2-
