Mayor McCarty stated he could understand Mr. Carpenter's feelings but
that the City was not concerned with who was legally responsible but
rather with the health, welfare and safety of the City, and what would
be done to correct the situation.
Mr. Carpenter stated he would like to hire an engineer to study the dis-
pute. Attorney Meyers replied that he was welcome to and pointed out
that the City must rely on professional opinions.
Mr. Thornton asked if the decision could be delayed to allow Mr. Carpenter
time to have tests done. Official Rose replied that the problem is up to
the developer, in that if he wants to develop the lots, it is Staff's
recommendation that they answer the questions first before further develop-
ment is allowed. Official Rose added that he did not believe any further
work would be done until spring.
Attorney Meyers recommended that Mr. Carpenter hire a professional firm
to present his side of the issue.
Mayor McCarty pointed out that the plans and specs called for 10' horizontal
separation yet Mr. Carpenter had put in the 18" vertical separation. Mr.
Carpenter replied that he had put in the 18' by mistake.
Mr. Thornton stated that he would like the Council to allow Mr. Carpenter
time to set up some tests for verification of what has been done and to
allow him to meet with the inspector and see if there is some way to
satisfy the requirements. He added that Mounds View Development Co. No. 1
does not want inferior work.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that the contractor had not been licensed
to work in Mounds View and asked if that had been rectified. Mr. Carpenter
replied that it had.
