of the balance of lots on Adams street that haven't been sold. Most of these lots

was advised it would be necessary for him to present his plat to the Planning and
Zoning commission for review.
CLARK SUBDIVISION - Mayor and Council reviewed the Clark Subdivision pre-application
plat. It was felt by the council the city should not furnish an extension of Boyd
Street to this subdivision. The developers need this right-of-way for the utilities
coming from Boyd Street. It was also suggested an area be set aside for a sms]]
park. Mayor and council also felt additional street acesses should be required.
Councilman Romrioll said he would talk to Rodney Clark of these changes and request
he attend the next Planning and Zoning meeting.
SEWER HOOK-UPS OUTSIDE CITY LIMI$S - Mayor and Council again discussed sewer lines and
hook-ups outside city limits. Mayor said when sewer lines are made outside city limits
the lines would need to be engineered or approved by the city engineer. Councilman
Romriell stated by allowing residents outside city limits to hook on to the sewer
at the same cost as city residents would encourage development outside city. It was
suggested the Mayor and Council meet with Southeast Health Department as they are
informing builders outside city limits they will be required to hook up to the
Chubbuck system. It was agreed by Mayor and Council to meet with Larry Perkins at a
special meeting Thursday at ~:30 p.m. for suggestions he might have to solve these
problems.

on Burley Drive reminding them of the June 1st date for payment on the proposed water
line installation.
