Inspector Lee.
The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and placed on file.
Mr. David Boucher, owner of Lot 9 Parkland Subdivision, appeared at the
meeting regarding his claim for additional monies he was required to spend
as a result of a misplaced asbilt. It was explained by Building Inspector
Lee thatthe Metropolitan Sewage Commission required relocation of the sewer
line which resulted in the change of the original lateral. The contractor
for Mr. Boucher used the original lateral location which was in error and
therefore expended an additional amount of money($216.00) which he charged
Mr. Boucher. It was Mr. Lee's opinion that the city's obligation was to
cover the cost of the additional digging involved and did not feel that the
city could be held responsible for additional gravel needed. Ald. Schaum-
berg moved, seconded by Ald. Dumke, that the claim be submitted to the
Finance Committee with the recommendation that the amount of $216.00 be
approved for payment. Motion carried.
Mr. Ken Westcott appeared at the meeting for clarification of the number
of lots of his subdivision he is permitted to build upon as it relates to
. the 65% limitation. The committee reviewed the number of total sq. feet
involved in his subdivision and based on the following formula total sq.
fottage of land minus sq. feet of land used for road purposes divided by
the density permitted under the district zoning time665% equals number
of housing units permitted. Using this formula it was determined 10 lots
(or 20 units) would be permitted.
