Minutes 2/26/84
was present to ask if Boyle's Addition would be
assessed for the new street to'be put in. They
have access from County Road 76. It would be
no advantage to them to have a thru street
there.
Another representative from Boyle's Addition
noted that they were not against development
but that they were concerned about what effect
it might have on Boyle's Addition.
Building Official Pittman noted that County
Ditch 18 serves that area for storm sewer
drainage. It was his opinion that the County
tile is already overloaded, and the area had to
be pumped out in previous seasons. He felt
that a storm sewer would have to be put in to
handle excess water. Mr. Reid felt there would
be no increase in the amount''of water due to
his plans for development.
After discussion, Mr. Reid stated 'that he would
be willing to discuss with City staff various
options, and to continue the hearing until
April. The County had postponed their hearing
on the matter until March 28. '
