specifications. Seconded by Ald. D. Sanders, motion carried.
The Committee discussed request for sewer service on Crowbar
Drive, west of Racine Avenue. Three (3) residents on Crowbar and a
possible three (3) or more lots on Kelsey Drive would be served by
. the Denoon Point Estates development. The existing dwellings, as
well as the possible lots, would contribute to a lift station that
may have to be installed because of the minimal cover over the
sewer line as it crosses the creek. The Developer will secure cost
figures and the property owners will be contacted. Developer noted
that he will be contacting the State to attempt to attain permit
for gravity flow of main under creek. A Community well was
proposed with a potential hookup to Lake Meadows Subdivision's
water system.
Ms. Gail Dercks, W203 S10342 North Shore Drive, appeared before

County Department of Health, that the City would not proceed with
request.
