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
