gutter requirement.

The Committee discussed the turn around requirement for Lake
Drive with the Developer, John Ingersoll, which was referred from the Plan Commission. The need for a turn around was resolved by
John Ingersoll providing a 18' x 30' asphalted t-turn when the asphalt requirement of his PUD is constructed. Mr. Ingersoll
recognizes his responsibility for storm water coming from Lake Drive and will provide drainage plans as part of his overall
storm drainage and storm sewer plans along the property line to the lake.
Public Works Superintendent reviewed the procedure for disposing
of firewood when the City removes a tree on city right-of-way.
The wood is first offered to the adjacent propety owners and if
it is refused, it is then offered to someone else who can use the wood.
A request for Public Works Department involvement in constructing
bike trails on Electric Company right-of-way was discussed. If
the Highway Superintendent feels there is sufficient man-hours to
participate in the project, eligible for reimbursement, all costs (except labor) would be since the Public Works Department did
not budget for this type of project.
The meeting adjourned at 11:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Ald. David Taube
Secretary
