ADMINISTERING OATH OF OFFICE TO A MEMBER OF THE FRIDLEY HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY:
Mayor Nee administered the oath of office to John Meyer as a member of the
I'ridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
PUBLIC HEARING; FLOOD PLAIN IMPROVEMENT:
Mayor Nee announced that the purpose of the public hearing on Flood Plain
Improvement is to provide members of the Eridley Housing and Redevelopment
Authority with the opinions and ideas of the residents of the flood pl�in,
The Mayor stated that the City suggests investigating several solutions to
the flood problems in the City of Fridley and that one of these possible
solutions is urban renewal ofthe flood plain. If the flood plain should
become a pro�ect, the Authority would buy the property on the flood plain,
and the City would purchase the property from the Authority for use as park
property. The Second solution would be for the City to establish zoning
requirements for the flood plain, requiring the elevation of all buildings
built on the flood plain to be above a given elevation which would make them
safe from flood waters. The Mayor asked if any of the people present at the
hearing had any statements to make upon the sub�ect of solutions to the
flooding problem. He asked whether the residents believe that the flood plain
is a suitable place for a City Park.
Mrs. Hock, a resident o£ Apex Lane, in the City of Fridley, stated that she
would like to have the Authority take her home and create a park. She stated
that her home was badly damaged by the flood. Mayor Nee asked if anyone
else had any comments. Mr. Belisle, a resident at 7801 Apex Lane, stated
that het�elieves it is a11 right for the Cxty to use Urban Renewal as a
solution for property owners that wish to sell their property, but that
property owners not wishing to sell thelr property should have a right to
remain in residence on the flood plain. He stated that he lielieves the City
should build a dike on itiverview Heights to protect the property of the
property owners wishing to remain in their present residences. Mr. Belisle
stated that in 1952 he had received 18 inches of water in his house, and in
this last flood the water had risen to a level of 42 inches in his home.
Mayor Nee pointed out to Mr. Belisle that if a dike were builb along Riverview
Terrace the road �� the area would still be flooded from flood waters backing
�
�
13
from the creek that runs through the flood plain. Mr Belisle stated that he
believed the solution to this problem is sand bagging the banks on both sides
of the creek.
Mayor Nee stated that the City had conducted some preliminary investigation of
solutions to the flooding problem in Fridley, that City officials had surveyed
the flood plain on a preliminary basis and conducted evaluations of various
alternatives to the solution of problems in the flood plain. They estimated
the cost of a dike to be in the neighborhood of 1 million dollars. This cost
of the dike would have to be borne entirely by the City of Fridley wrthout the
� aid of Federal Funds. The engineers do not believe construction of this dike
is a good solution to the flood problems since creek water will sti11 get
behind the dike, undermine it and very possibley damage the homes of residents
on the flood plain. Mayor Nee stated that there are 30 or 4D homes on the
flood plain, that the cost of a pro�ect in this area with 30 homes on it would
be a gr�at deal less than the cost of a dike and that the City would not have
to bear the fu11 cost if these homes were to be included under rederal Urban
Renewal plans. The Federal Government pays 75% of the cost of Federal Urban Renewal
pro�ects and the City need pay only 25% of it, Mayor Nee stated that he
believes this is an attractive way to finance reconstruction of the flood plain.
If the City were to go ahead with plans for the flood plain. If the City were
to go ahead with plans for the flood p�ain, the Urban Renewal Authority wo�ld
be responsible for providing equal housing at an equivalent cost to present
residents living on the flood plain. The Urban Renewal Authority would have
full responsibility for the entire program for the flood plain until the City
purchases the land from the Renewal Authority for use as a park.
Mayor Nee stated that City officials began an investigation of a permanent
solution to flood damage on the flood plain before the tornado damaged the
City of Fridley. He stated that immediately after the flood, inspectors From
the Housing and Home Fin�nce Office in Chicago were in the City of Fridley
to inspect the flood damage. However, they were unaUle to examine the damage
inside the homes since the flood waters inundated many of the houses. It is
necessary that damages on the flood plain affect more than 50% of the property
on the flood plain in order for the area to qualify for Urban Renewal. Mayor
� Nee said that after the Tornado hit the City of F;idley the inspectors from
the Housing and Home Finance Agency retunned to the City and made a further
investigation of conditions on the flood p?ain. The Mayor said he believes
that when inspectors are allowed to enter the homes and inspect actual
structural damage to the homes on the flood plain, they will find sufficient
damage to the homes to �ustify the use of Urban Renewal Funds for an Urban
Renewal Pro�ect on the flood plain.
Mr. Hollenbeck, a resident at 571 - 79th Way Northeast, stated L-hat he believes
the residents of the flood plain should have some kind of decision �rom the
Gity so they can make plans for the future. He stated that he believes the
increase in building and other developments in the northern part of the state
wi11 add more water drainage to the River and this wi11 result in more
flooding in the City of Fridley in the future. He stated that he favors the use
of an Urban Aenewal Pro�ect to develop the flood plain as a City Park, and that
citizens living on the flood plain should have a decision now so they can
properly plan for the future use of their homes.
Mr. Earl Bierman, of 7830 Alden Way Northeast, asked the Council what number of
houses are on the flood plain, what values oP the homes are, and what the cost
of an Urban Renewal Pro�ect would be to the City of Pridley. Mayor Nee stated
that the cost of a dike to protect the area might Ue 1 million dollars or more
except for the backing up of flood waters into the creek which would still
cause the plain to be flooded. He stated that the cost to the City of- the Park
� would be only 25% of the total cost of the pro�ect, and there being 23 houses on
the flood plain south of Cheryl Street, the cost would be less than 1/2 million
dollars. He stated that these m sts are based upon the values of the houses as
computed by the City Assessor.
Mr. Wafer, of 640 Dover Way Northeast, asked whether the Corps of Engineers
rendered any opinion concerning any future flooding in the City of Fridley,
He said that the Anoka County Auditor informed him when he bought the property
and inquired concerning the taxes on the property that there had not been a
flood in the City of Fridley for some 78 years and there probably would never
be another flood, He stated, however, that he had Ueen flooded in 1952 and
w as flooded again this year. The Mayor informed Mr. Wafer that the Corps of
Ll
14
Engineers said that there will be periodic flooding in the City of Fridley
He said that the Anoka County Auditor informed him when he bought the property
and inquired concerning the taxes on the property that there had not been a
flood in the City of Fridley for some 78 years and there probably would never
be another flood. He stated, however, that he had been flooded in 1952 and
was flooded again this year. The Mayor informed Mr. Wafer that the Corps of
Engineers said there willbe periodic flooding in the City of Fridley, and
that there is no authoritative information to the contrary. Mr. Wafer asked
if the first course of action of the City should not be to find out whether
or not there wi11 be another flood in the City. The Mayor informed Mr. Wafer
that Joseph Strub, the Weather Buer�iu Climatologist, said that the plain will '
be flooded periodically. Mrs. Wafer stated that the Dover Street area had been
flooded in 1952 and again in 1965, and she asked why the Mayor mentioned Cheryl
Street as a boundary of the flood plain. She stated that she believed the area
above Dover Street should be included in the flood plain, Mrs. Waver said
further, that every time it rained this spring her home was flooded with water.
She stated that she is willing to se11 her home to the Urban Renewal Authority
today. The City Manager said that he drove by the flood plain this day and
that the river is quite high.
The Mayor stated that it is the purpose of this hearing, among other things,
to decide whether the Urban Renewal Authority should conduct a study of the
flood plain for the purpose of establishing whether or not an Urban Renewal
Pro�ect should be conducted. He stated that the IIrban Renewal Authority
would need to estimate the damage to the flood plain to determine whether or
not it meets the criteria for a Federal Grant, and if the residents of the
flood plain meets the criteria for a Federal Grant, and if the residents of
the flood plain are in favor of the City conducting this study� such a study
wi11 be made.
Mr. Robert Jaeger, a resident on Bxoad Street, stated that no one in his right
mind would buy a home on the flood plain at this time. He stated that he would
be unable to se11 his home even though he wished to move out of it and for
this reason he favors an Urban Renewal Pro�ect on the flood plain.
Mr. Robert Kretlow, of 7885 Broad Street, asked whether the inspectors from �
the Honsing and Home Pinance Agency will consider the fact that it is necessary
for the residents of the flood plain to put clean water into theirbasements
before the flooding actually occurs in order to pievent structura� damage to
their basements. The Mayor stated that there must be definite proof that
damage will occur before the inspectors of the Housing and Home Finance Agency
would consider this sufficient to warrant a pro�ect. Councilman Wright said
that the inspectors of the I�ousing and Home Finance Agency are structural
engineers who W�11 be looking for structural damage in the basements. Mrs. Watson
asked whether it will be necessary for the inspectors to inspect the damage to
the homes before the homes are fixed up and damage is cleaned up. She stated
that it is possible the homes might be flooded again in the near future and the
residents are wonderi ng whether they should fix up their homes, immediately.
Mayor Nee informed Mrs. Watson that it would be necessary for the inspectors
of the Hoixsing and Home Finance Agency to see the damage caused by the flood
and that the residents should not repair �his damage if the City decides to go
ahead with the Urban Renewal Pro�ect so the inspectors can examine the damage
as it ac*_ually occured.
Mayor Nee stated that the Fridley Housing and Redevlopment Authority has been in
existance for one week and is �ust beginning work. He stated that the Authority
believes that an Urban Renewal pro�ect in the flood plain is a feasible pro�ect
to study although there is a question when the City can afford to carry out the
project. The residents may be living on the flood plain for two more years before
the City can £ind the funds to carry out the full pro�ect. The proposed study �
would determine the boundary of the flood plain which depends upon areas where
more than SD% of the homes sufFered damage.
Mayor Nee asked the property owners favoring an Urban Renewal Study of the
flood plain to raise their hands. Almost all of the people present at the Council
meeting did so, The Mayor then asked whether those favoring no study of the
flood plain would raise their hands. There were almostnone raising their hands.
Mayor Nee asked property owners in the flood plain favoring zoning regulations
requiring that construction of new homes be above the elevation of the flood plain
to raise their hands. None were raised.
Mayor Nee asked whether members of the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment
Authority had any questions to ask the homeowners. 'One of the.homeowners stated
that he had a question for a member of the Urban Housing and Redevelopment Authority,
15
He asked whether in the event that homes in the flood plain do not qualify for
IIrban Renewal under the flood damage suffered to date future flood damage
would be considered. Mr. Herder of the Authority stated that he did not know.
Mr. Herder stated that if the pzoperty owners are interested in the study the
Authority wi11 make the study; �f the property owners are not interested in it
the Authority wi11 not be vezy znterested in conducting the study. If the
interest of the property owners is extensive the Authority wi11 conduct the
study as quickly as possible and attempt to facilitate the pro�ect in every' way
possible. Pau1 Sarrow, another member of the Authority, stated that the study
would be made with Federal Funds, that the full cost of the study would be
� born by the Fedesal Funds, whereas the cost to the City, the 25% portion wi11
only be used for carrying out the actual pro�ect, that is, condemning the
_ property and renewing it. Mr. Barrow stated further that the Housing Authority
needs to be convinced that the study should be made. The study itself wi11
take time since it is necessary to inspect the inside of the homes.
Another property owner stated that he applied for a loan from the Federal
Housing Administration and the loan was refused since he lives on the flood
plain. He stated that he asked a real estate agency to sell his home and
the real estate agency refused since they consider the home on the flood plain
not saleable.
Mayor Nee stated that he hopesproperty owners will help the inspectors from the
Housing and Redevelopement Authority by pointing outthe damage in their homes
to the inspectors< He suggested that the property owners made a list of the
damage done to their homes as a result of the floods and discuss the damages
with the inspectors. Mr. David Ayer, of 661 Cheryl Street, stiated that his
basement floor was heaved four inches above the normal level of the floox,
that the brick veneer on his house is coming off and that the first floor
�oists are rotting as a result of the flood damage. He stated that this is
not very evident from the outside of the house but inspection of the inside
of the house is necessary to show the flood damage. Mr. Hollenbeck said that
several homes on the flood plain have been vacated since the flood and that
these vacant homes, in the long run, encourage vandalism on the flood plain.
, Mr. Ayer said that upon examination of the basement floor, he found that the
water level is immediately below the floor. FIe said that his home is only 22
years o1d and it is 1ikely the footings of his home have been damaged by the
continuous high water level under the foot�ngs, Mrs. Wafer asked how intensive
an inspection the engine�rs £rom the Housing and Home Pinance Agency wi11 conduct.
The Mayor anstirzred that the inspectors Wi11 probably inspect all structures located
in the flooded area.
Mrs. Gerald Lewis, of 641 Northeast Gheryl Street, stated that her basement Flooz
has been heaved by the floods and that the wa11s are cracking as a result of high
ground waCer pressure against the outside of the wa11s since the flood.
Mrs. Strub, 7890 Broad SYreet, stated that the creak flowing through the Flood
plain is presently Elooding and the water level is up to the staps of her nome
The road past her house is collapsing, She stated that it has been her
experience that the creek level rises higher each year.
Councilman Wright stated that the residents are wondering where the lines of the
Urban Renewal Pro�ect on the flood plain wi11 actually be drawn. He stated that
the lines wi11 be drawn by the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority Theg
try to define fairly conCiguous areas for the pro�ect and will not select homes
in the flood plain on an arbitrary basis but wi11 try to include an entire area
in which Che ma�ority of the homes suffered damage,
Mayox Nee asked if any of the members of the City Planning Commission have
any questions to ask the property owners. No one �swered. Mayor Nee asked
, whether anyone present at the Council meeting has any alternatives to suggest
as solutions to the flood problem. No one answered, Mayor Nee then stated that
one of the members of the Planning Commission suggested that paper pads be
available for the residents to write any ideas which they might have as solutions
to the flood problem. He stated that the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment
Authority is involved wiCh work in two other areas in the City of Fridley and
that they wi11 be quite busy with this work in addition to making a study of the
flood plain. He stated that the Authority would appreciate any suggestions
which the residents of the flood plain might have concerning the flood problem.
Mr. Belisle asked whether the Urban Renewal Authority wi11 investigate all the
alternative sol�tions to the flood problem in addition to the Urban Renewal
Project. Councilman Wright azsswered that the Housing and Home Finance Agency
��
will insist that all alternatives be studied and the study be reviewed before
the pro�ect is carried out.
Another property owner asked what he could do with his empty land on the flood
plain. He stated that taxes on this land are $226,00 per year and that he
cannot se11 the property. He stated, furthermore, that he does not like the
idea of building upon the property.
Mayor Nee stated that the City Manager will provi@e paper pads in the�Fire
Department to the residents and that upon leaving the Council meeting, the
residents should write their names and addresses on the pads along with a �
list of damage to their homes.
The Mayor asked the structural engineer, Mr. Geisen, whether he can give the
residents some informatiori concerning listing of structural defects which they
should do for the benefit of the inspectors of the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. Mr. Geisen stated that the property owners should note any difficulties,
repairs, or maintenance of their homes which might have been caused by flood
damage and they should discuss these defects with the inspectors. He stated
that buildings with fireplaces in the walls are bound to have pressure
differentials due to the weight of the fireplaces on the structure which might
result in small cracks and other damage in the walls.
Mrs. Strub stated that she has a fireplace in her home and she found that the
floor buckled in the vicinity of the fireplace and she is unable to sand the
floor sufficiently to remove the effect of the buckling floor boards. The
fireplace has apparently been moved a small amount during or since the flood and
a stone retaining wa11 on her property or near her property collagsed as a
result of the flood. Sand which had been put behind the-retaining wall is now
holding water back and her home is still floode&.
Mr. Ayer asked how much in repairs residents should make before inspectors of the
Housing and Home Finance Agency inspect their homes. The Mayor stated that
the residents should make sufficient repairs to make their homes habitable but
not to cover up the defects caused by the flood. Mr. Ayer asked whether the
City wi11 grant Suilding Permits in the area. The Mayor stated that When the �
City determines that an Urban Renewal Pro�ect will be carried out the Crty wi11
not grant Building Permits in the area but since the study has not been
completed the City will grant Building Permits considering that the pro�ect might
not be completed for another two years. He stated that when the Authority determines
finally that the area will be sub�ect to Urban Renewal no more Building Permits
wi11 be granted or if the Authority determines that there will be no Urban Renewal
Pro�ect, the City will amend its zoning Laws to require that the elevation of all
structures built in the flood plain�be above the elevation of the flood plain.
The Mayor stated that this will require that homes be built on stilts or piers to
raise the elevations of the homes above that of t�e flood waters. He stated
that ordinari�y the City wants the residents to clean up their homes, to repaint
and repair them as quickly as possib2e Uut since the inspectors of the Housing
and Home Pinance Agency will probably visit the City shortly, he would rather
the residents not make repairs until after the inspection. The Mayor stated
that he assumes the inspection will be completed by the middle of Suly. He
stated that inspections will be necessary before it can be determzned whether or
not the flood plain is eligible for a grant of funds from the Federal Government,
The Mayor stated that the flood plain is a beautiful spot, and that if it is
developed as a City park it wi11 probably be the best park in Anoka County. He
stated that possibly the City would do some regrading in the flood plain to
protect the river bank from further flood damage. �
The Mayor stated that the City is considering a paving pro�ect on the streets ,
above the flood plain. The City Engineer said that the City has rebuilt the
roads above the flood plain twice this year and rebuilding these roads costs
money. He stated that the City is considering a plan to pave all the roads
from Fasrmont Street North to the City boundary and West of East River Road.
He said that the paved roads will improve access to the park, The Mayor said
that residents o� the flood plain might express their opinion of the value of
this paving pro�ect to the property owners required to pay for the paving project
by special assessments. In this way, they-could help the City improve the higher
grounds on Riverview Heights.

necessary for the Financial Consultant to furnish a prospectus for each of the
individual bond issues. The Mayor stated that examination of the estimate of the
Financial Consultant indicates that the City is getting a bargain in the fee of the
Financial Consultant since the consultant lumped the fees for the three bond
issues together and computed them as one instead of computing them all separately.

insurance company. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Geisen whether he could report on the
condition of the structure at 5609 - Sth Street Northeast.
Mr. Giesen stated that the home had been inspected on May 28, 1965 and on
June 9, 1965 by a team of inspectors, including Mr. F1ynn, the Building Inspector

home are split at the front doorway, the floor is cracked in the northwest corner,
the east and north walls are bowed out at the ceiling, the roofing, the ceiling
and the floor covering were destroyed.
Mayor Nee suggested that the communication from Sesse & Cosgrove could be
referred to the City Attorney for review and possible recommendation. Councilman
Wright stated that the Council could also ask the insurance company why they
have not settled the claim for damages on the home since it has been more than
one month since the home was damaged.
Motion by Kirkham to receive the letter from Sesse & Cosgrove concerning the
structural damage to the home at 5609 - Sth Street Northeast. Seconded by �
Wright. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Nee asked whether Mr. Ferguson is present at the Council meeting. No one
answered, The City Manager stated that he received information that a settlement
has been reached between Mr, rerguson and his insurance company. He stated
also that Mr. Ferguson has signed a release for the demolition of the structure,

lyEMOLITION D�LAY REQUEST - 5844 UNIVEASITY AVENUE NORTHEAST ( RAYMOND HAItRIS):
The City Manager announced that he had �ust received a telgram from the Parmers
�
�
19
Home Mutual Insurance Company concerning the delay of demolition at 5844
University Avenue. The Mayor asked Mr. Geisen to report on the condit�on
of the home. Mx. Geisen stated that he is a structural engineer xegistered
to per�orm stxuctural engineering work in the State of Minnesota. He stated
that an inspection team of Mr. Flynn, the Building Inspector from Coon Rapids,
the City Building Inspector and himself, inspected the structure at 5844
University on May 27, 1965, June 9, 1965 and Sune 14, 1965. He stated that the
inspection on June 14, 1965 was not made by the previously mentioned team
but by himself and Mr. Belisle. He stated thaC inspection of ehe structure
shows that the south wall is pulled �rom the floor and light is visible between
Che south wa11 and the floor. The soutwest corner of the house is leaning
towards the north and east The north wall is bowed at the windows, the roof
on the north addition to the house has sagged and the roofing has been destroyed
The South wall is broken loose at the ceiling, the rear door has been racked,
the ceiling has been racked, The west wa11 leans one inch towards the east,
The living room floor has sagged, the gable on the roof is racked. He stated
that there is no accessable cYawl space below the floor so it is not possible
to inspect the structaral members of the floor and they were unable to find
access 2�to the attsc Co examine the structural members of the ceLling and the
m of. He�stated that it is necessary to remove the wall board in order to
determine whether structural members in the wa11 are damaged or not. A soil
pipe connecCed to the water closet bowl is broken loose from the stoal.
Mr, Geisen staeed, in conclusion, that repairs to the home will probably
exceed the value of the house, assuming, of course, that the structure can

there is any additional stzuctural damage to the building. Mr Geisen answered

result of the sCOrm and has sagged further since the storm. He stated that
he does not believe it is practical to rebuild the home. Councilman Wright
informed Mr. Harris that one of the ma�ot concerns of the Council is the

the home to be sound and that it could be reconstructed in accordance with
the building practices in existence at the time when the home was firse Uuilt
fnr t�e amount of $3,650.00. The insurance company stated further that if the
home should be demolished or repa�rs should be forbidden on the home in accordance
, with the building practices in existence at the time the honle was built, the

owner or limit payment to the amount of $3,650.00 The telegram was signed by
Dean K. Johnson.

house as to whether they comply sufficiently with the City Code to avoid
demolition. Councilman Wright asked Mz. Geisen whether he believes khat the
amount o£ $3,650.00 is adequate to restore the home. Mr. Geisen answered that
he does not believe this amount to be sufficient.
�0
Councilman Wright stated that he wants the pu6lic to know that the record
shows certain insurance companies are trying to get out of their contracts
with homeowners, These companies are trying to capitalize on legal
quibbles to avoid paying the homeowners and that he believes this to be an
example of such a practice. He stated that he has reached the end of his patience
with the activities of the insurance companies. Councilman Wright asked whether
it is necessary for the City to withdraw its demolition notice from the
structure in order not to damage the rights of the property owner.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Geisen what would be necessary to inspect the structural
members of the home. Mr. Geisen asked the homeowner whether it is possible �
to get into the attic of the house. Mr. Harris answered, "Yes." Mr. Harris
stated, however, that the structure is an older structure and needs to he
rebuilt to comply with the code. Councilman Wright stated that the City
has the right to inspect older structures to determine whether they comply
with the code and the City has the right to inspect this structure to
determine the exact damage to the structure. Such an inspection necessarily
includes examination of structural members in the floor, the wall, and the
roof, and where necessary removing some of the covering to do so.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Harris whether he discussed his insurance policy with an
attorney, Mr. Harris answered that he has not done so. Mayor Nee informed
Mr. Harris that the Crty has sufEicient �ustification to remove the building
since it is not entirely safe for human hahitation, and it is a health hazard
to the occupants. Mr. Harris stated that it does not make sense to him to rebuild
the structure as is. Playor Nee stated that if Mr. Harris considers the matter
thoroughly and agrees to sign a release, the City will demolish the home. Mr,
Harris stated that he would prefer to discuss the matter with a lawyer before
signing any release for the City to demolish the home. Mrs. Harris informed
the Councxl that the renter of the home is under agreement with them to
purchase the home, but that the renter does not have the money to do so at the
present time, Mr. Harris asked whether the structural engineer will inspect
the home further to detetmine the extent of the structural damage. Mayor Nee
stated that the inspector would be willing to do so. He informed Mr. Harris
that he could obtain a report from the structural engineer on what is required �
in the waq of structural reconstruction to restore the home and get estimates
based on this report. He stated that if structural damage is substantial the
City will have a real concern for the safety of the tenants in the home. The
Mayor stated further that apparently the health inspector has not inspected the
home at this time but according to the report of the Building Inspector it
appears evident that the home is not the proper place to house children.

the Planning Consultant is taking such a lengthy time to make recommendations

building to see how construction will affect the flooding of Che sanitary
sewer system. Mr. Hawrysch stated that the sanitary sewer system is built
in the neighborhood of his apartment building and ehe lateral has been sCUbbed
into the pxoperty mak�.ng necessary for him merely to connect to the lateral in
order to be able to use the sanitary sewer. Mayor Nee informed Mr. Hawrysch
that the pxtch of the sanitary sewer main is so shallow that proper �low of-
sanitary sewage is not possible. Mr. Hawrysch answered that he has had no
2�
problems with back up of the sanitary sewer into the other apartment buildings
which he has built and that he does not see why he should have any problem with
construction of this apartment building since the sanitary sewer stub is more
than five feet below ground and the floor of the basment in the apartment
building will be substantially above this elevation. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Hawrysch
to wait for one month and study the construction of the sanitary sewer with the
City Engineer to determine the effect of this construction upon the sanitary
sewer mains. Mr. Aawrysch stated that he would do this rather reluctantly. The
Council took no action upon the request of Mr. Hawrysch.
