At this time council considered an appeal filed by Mrs. F. D. At'
which stated that "No master plan for iewers in the area concern
yet been made; other developers have been required by the City t
establish sewer and drain lines to provide for future developmen
properties other than their own; and in the interests of orderly
opment of the area concerned, a reconsideration of the commissio:
approval of #207 is imperative. " Mrs. Atkinson gave a detailed
entation.
The Council discussed sewerage and drainage at great length, pos
locations and size of trunk lines, sewer service to Marigold Far,
Mentone area.
Director of Public Works Shefchik reminded Council that no funds
been budgeted for a Sewer and Drainage study for this area as ha,
done for some of the other areas . He stated that a department s
could bring a recommendation to council regarding a fair approxil
of locations in possibly a month or six- weeks.
Councilman Knudsen reminded Council that in 1968 he recommended
study of this area, and added that frequently developers make th,
study and pay their own costs.
Mr. Wilcott asked why, if Mr. Knudsen has known about these cond
for a long time, the question comes up now?
Councilman Knudsen replied that more than two years ago he had s
this general area and that subsequent to that time, while making
division studies for Levitt Developers in that area, he became ai
the problems and depths of some trunk lines; he added that Pione,
Acres has not come before Council since that time (February - Ma:
1972) .

across his property and to pay the cost of an 8 inch line across
approximately 660 feet of his property from east to west, with t]
understanding that if a larger sewer line is needed, the city wi,
the difference in cost.
