the well had not been applied for or issued.

home on the lot but if they cannot do this they would like to have the
well to raise a garden and pasture for their horses.
Engineer Alder said the subdivision ordinance was for the purpose of
orderly development and building permits cannot be issued on property
that is not bordered by a dedicated street.
Engineer Alder said a permit should have been issued for the drilling of
the well and the city should have been given the right to approve or
disapprove the permit. No further discussion on this issue.

line for a distance of 200 feet and subdivision developers will pay the
difference of cost of the 8 inch line over cost of 6 inch line.
