(Discussion) Mr. Ajax briefly explained bonding requirements in response to Mr. Schuelein. In essence, if Dr. Nelson posts bond, he would have a year from January, 1978, to make improvements under the old standards. Mr. Snider asked, "my motion waives bonding, doesn't it?" Staff replied correct. Mr. Snider further stated he would like to see the project completed and it would probably have to be along the standards agreed upon by previous staff and council. Mr. Sheeley asked if standards applied to entire area or just Dr. Nelson's 1/4 interest. Staff replied that no communications had been received from owners of other 3/4. Mr. Sheeley suggested that standards be drawn up according to City specifications so that when a developer comes in, he knows what is expected of him and what the City will offer. Staff concurred with this. Mr. Snider favored old standards being applied to keep costs down as he felt Dr. Nelson was striving to provide a nice residential community for people of moderate means. Dr. Nelson concurred that this was becoming quite involved; however, he was doing everything he could and as fast as he could. He reiterated he wanted to develop his 1/4 only and an extension of time should not affect the City. Mr. Adams asked Dr. Nelson how much cost would be involved to put the water and sewer lines in street instead of alley. Dr. Nelson replied that it would increase costs greatly to move lines. Mr. Schuelein asked if the City was obligated to provide street lighting. Mr. Ajax replied this could be a policy question. Mr. Snider responded by stating the City did not provide streets, lighting or sidewalks in other parts of the City; therefore, favored L.I.D. process. Main motion carried by roll call vote of four (4). Councilmen Tidrick and Schuelein voting no. APPOINTMENT - HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD; Mayor Tidrick thanked Mr. Russell Wiseman and Mr. Harry Moore for their interest in Housing Authority Board.
