PUBLIC HEARING: LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 61 TO BE HEARD AT THIS TIME: Mr. Seidel, builder, would like action deferred account houses now under constt- uction in Meridian Addition would probably be assessed before ready to place on the market. City Attorney states the very earliest date of sewer construction would be after the first of the year. Churchman asked Mr. Seidel a few questions. Walter W. Saxton, Field -Fngineer with thb,_:Pollution Control Commission, answered questions and made statements. When asked if the pollution Control Commission would allow connections to sewer lines before Sewage Disposal Plant or cause delay Mr. Saxton stated that it is not the interest of the Commission to hold up approv- als on septic tanks and extensions; their policy is not to grant approval for large areas. He would not hesitate to make recommendation where plans are going forward but in case of refusal by the Commission the applicant may ask for a hearing. Plans submitted at this time could be completed in two weeks. Approvals of sewer connections in Meridian Addition could be held up account delays on acquir- ing,,-sit6!,- s Nearest point to existing sewer is approximately one-half mile. Mr. Seidel would like to have the City male the extension from the main sewer to Meridian Addition to serve 57 lots. A master tank could be installed at this time. Mr. Saxton would like to talk to the Army Engineers before making further recommedn- ations. Mr. Louden on `West Irving protests vigorously account double expense; thinks the septic tanks not old enough to warrant sewer expense at this time. Clark Vail is of the same opinion. Cost estimate was explained to G. E. Lewandowski who favors bond issue. Paul Schlagel favors a ten year payment plan. Meridian Addition could be left out of bond issue district. Mr. Moran suggests that when extensions are made a riser be placed to service each wilding site on the line. Steve Grant recommends that septic tanks have more rigid inspection.
