APP�ICATION FOk LTCENSESZRED'S CLUB: Mr. John Terpstra was present at the Council Meeting� representing Mrs. Huetmacker. He briefly reviewed the facts that Mr. Huetmaker had been the £ormer license holder until revocation because of a conviction. He said he wovld like to comment on several things the Council is probably wonderin� about �n their decision o£ whether or not to �rant the license to Mrs, Huetmaker. He said that the first item would be her experience. He stated that Mrs. and Mr. Huetmaker had been in bus�ness for 20 years. 17 of those ,years had bean in a tavern in Minneapolis with no violations� and the last two years at Hed's C1uU. He Felt thls 20 years of Pood business was qulte an accomPl�sh- ment. Mr. Terpstra said he wanted t,o point out a few circumstances of the Hearin�. The char�e had been allowin� a minor to lolter. In a municipal court hearinp,� the ,7ury� after deliberating tha�ee hours� found £or the in£raction� but there had been no evidence to show a minor was �erved or consumed liquor. He eacp7a�ned that the minor had come �nto the club in the company of her fiance who was over 21. The minor had been checked when she came in and she only planned to sta,y to pick up another couple. Mrs. Huetmaker left at this time and when the Police Officers came in they cound three minors. Mr. Terpstra ststed that he did n�t think the Council would jeopardize their position by granting the license For Mrs. Huet,maker. He sa�d that a minor can enter a 3.2 establishment for a pnad reason� it, is �ust against the law to stay or do anything a�alnst the law while in the establishment. Councilman Wright asked the attorne,y the date of the infraction� and i.he att,orne,y answered it was last October 25th at a_o:15 P.M. Coim cilman Samuelsan asked Mr. Gibbs a6out this case. Mr. Gibbs stated that he had tried this case in Anoka and what Mr. Terpstra had said was substantially trtte. He said that as far as he was concerned� he was not going to retr,y the case here, but the jury had felt it warrented convictlon. He said that Mrs. YuPtmaker was the bartender when the minor entered, that Mr. Huetmaker was procecuted as the lir,ense holder, but that he felt� quite frankly, that Mrs, Huetmaker was � respons�ble as Mr. Huetmaker was� ss she remained on the nremises almost the total time ihe couple was there. Councalman Harris asked Mr, Gibbs if it were possible to have more than one name of a l�cense. Mr, Gibbs answered that he did not believe so, it would be jur,t one indsv�dual's name. Ccu ncilman Harrls asked if her name had heen on the license also, would they both have been tried. Mr. G1bbs answered ves, but that Councilman Harris was assuming facts not poss�ble. Mr. Gibbs said that the l�censP holder is responsible for what �oes on in the club whether he is present or not. �'ouncilman Samuelson a�ked Ch�e£ MrCart,hy �f he had any comment to make on Ped�s Clnb as the law enforc�n� a�ency for the Clt,y or if there had been an,y ca]]s to cnmment, on. Chief McCarthy stated that, the,y have had several ca]ls� and he helie�red the Council had a list of these. He stated that other t,han the calls t,he Police DePartment has had� he did not want to make any comment. on thi�, Cnnnc�lman Sheridan asked Ch9ef McCarthy abo�zt, the im�PSt9�ation on 5/16I66i' the or9{�inal liquor application, Chief McCarthy stated that thts license appl uatian come in like so many others and the Police Department was not {�iven a fair opportunity to check it. He stated that the Police Department ha� never done a thorough back�round check on any o£ the license holders in the City because there has never been ample time. He stated that a lirense applicataon comeG in on Monda,y mornin� for act�on at Mondap's evening Council Meeting. Ma,yor Kirkham asked Chief McCarthy, if there had been time for an invest,i�ation, what hzs recommendatYOn would have been regarding an employee o£ a convicted ]_�cense� who had been workin�; at the tlme of a violation, which the emplo,yee should not have allowed. Chief McCarthy pointed out that he does not make recommendations to the Council on an,y application, he either initials them or he does not in�tial them, and in this case, he probably would not initial it. Councnlman Sheridan st,ated that he did not £eel this quest3on to the Chief of Folice was in order. He did not fael the previous lirense holder's conv�ctlon was a reflectaon on the new applicant, The appl�cation before the CoUncil is for an entire]y new person, and the onl,y question should be whether the new applirant is capable of running the establishment�the wa,y it should be run. Mayor Kirkham said that this was true, and his point was that he is wonderin� if this applicant. is capable as she is the one that was on duty when the minors were allowed to loiter. Councilman Sheridan sald he would assume the present aPpli�ant ha5 lParned a lesson from the previous conviction. Councilman Sheridan sazd that he had checked tin the Minneapolis LicensP Bureau and as has been indicated, the huetmakers had not had any infractions within the City of Minneapolis, an�l he would recomm�nd �;rantin� the license. Councilman kirir�ht said that he wished to speak in agreement wit.h Councilman Sheradan. He stated that he had talked with Chief Deputy Inspector Carl Pearson, who was at, the time of the Huetmaker's Minneapolis license jrd �n command of the Minneapolis Police Department� and at that time iri rhar�e of investigations for 11c'enses. Mr. Pearson had stated that he was personall,y familiar zaith the establishment r�m £or 17 years b,y the Huetmakers and it had bePn an outstandin£ one. Councilman Wright said he did not think it, xas a case of a husband and rrife havin� identical skills, styles and personalit-ies. When an employee buys an estahlishment which has been closed for any reason, he is not t�kely to run it under the identical proceduxes. He said that Mr. Fluetmaker is ill and retired. He said he felt the time lapse from the _, t�me she �ave her permission for the man to brinP his fiance in out of the �o7�i and wait for a ride, and the time she left was not su£ficient time to constztute loitering� but it was the contsnuinp time after she left that constituted loiterin�. Councilm�n U1ri�ht said he felt it was important that the Counc�l r11r1 not remove the family livelihood on a technical violation that did n�t lI1VO��rP, minor consumption� or any felonious activity at all, and he urged the Gounc�l t,o consider care£ully and �rant the license as applled for. He sald that if the Council wished to instruct the Administration and Pol��e Department to rall an,y infraction to the Council's attention, he thou�ht, th�s wonld be fine. Mr, G�bbs said that if zt was the nation of any member of the �ouncil that Mr. Huetmaker was convicted on the basis of a man havin� his fiance come znto a cluh to r�et out of the cold, they were mistaken as the facts were far more diffi��x]t, and serious than that. He said that the Police found three minors zn the r,1uh s�ttinp with an adult in a booth with four heers. The adult testi- fied in froni, of the Jury tY�at he was drinkinp all four beers. Mr. Terpstra said t,hab Mr. �ibbs was brin�ing forth inference that he should answer. He ^a�d that there had heen do dzrect testimany of the minors drinking, Not one policeman had testifzed that they knew the minors had heen drinking or that they had smelled beer on their breath, C�,�r+cil_man �her�dan drew the attention o£ the Counc�l to the su��estion of Cotmcllman Harris at the previous meeting that the proceedings of the hvar�n� be studied anrl this was the reason he had investi�ated the license �n Minneapolis. Mr. f�ibbs said that no offlcial record had been kept. There was a discussion between the Police Ch�ef and Nir. Terpstra on whether a m�nor has to be arcompanied by a parent or �uardian Zn a 3,2 estahlishment. City Attorne,y Herrick said he felt there was no need to po into references to drinkin� or not drink�nP, the Council should make a dec�sion snthout trylnP to exnand o* detract from the Court's decision. MOTTnN hv Councilman Wr��ht that the Counc9l t�rant a l�cense for non-intoxirat�n� malt hev�raaes to Mrs, Huetmaker for the estahl�shment known as Red's Club for a normal 1zr,Fn4inp oeriod.

The C-�ty Manager explained that the Plannsng Comm�_ssion was not shuttin� the door for rezoninp, but they felt that a more specialized ordZnance t,hey are workin� nn should he �n effect first. If the Cnuncil conrurs with the Plannin� CommisG�on, Mr. Skjervold could request another Public Hearing, Mr. Sk7ervold, represent�n� Emmy Riedel� was prPSent at the Council Meetinp_. He �tater� that he had su��*ested to the Planning Commission that it would be a11 ri�ht with the R�edels to leave a strip 125' wide to act as a buffer� and they would also be agreeahlP to arsythin� the Council wanted. He said that at one time he had written the Csty Atto'rnev, Wyman 5mith, about the storm sewer draina�P on t,he Riedel TronPrt,v a� he l,l'�r�np*ti�+ zt uras Zll�val, but they agreed to hold in abeyance because of Urban Renewal possibilities at that time, He ,tated that they would be a�reeable to give some o£ this land to the C�t,y if this would make it possible for the City to control the develo�ent. H� si,atPr3 that thP P]annin� Commission had he]d a meet�ng on Npril 28th at wh�ch he had not been present, but from the minutes of the meeting he gathered there was no one in opposition and he thought the request would be appmved� and then it was denied. He said the pronert,y, as it is, is b,y no means a cred�t to the City as the,y are not receivin� the taxes they would if it were deve]oped� nor is it a credit to the people next door� but it could be a benafit �f it were rezoned snr3 Used under the �ontrol of the Coiincil. He said if the problem is that the City has to take the first step, and if the on]y t,hin� is the method� the Riede]s are wLllsng $o a�ree to any covenants or even a�ree to Rive land. Councilman Wripht sa9d that Mr. Skjervold has piven an actual summax,y, except for one exception. In part it is the ordinance, but also hecause n" ner�ssarir enPineertin� for sewer drainape. The �ouncil has three choices of the way +� take care of the draina�e prohlem� and on= of the wa,ys may requsrP a part,zal pan�itinp� and another oi the three mi�ht take as much as four acres of the 15 ar,res in the south. He su��ested perhaps there coul�l �, be a narrower strip as a planting area, and a larger area in the south for a park area with pond, Mr. Skjervold said he was sure the Riedels would serloizslv consider this. Coilncilman Wright stated he felt that it is imporLant t,o �et the engineerinP advice i,o the Plannin� CommissZOn and hold a meetanp to considPr this. The �ity ManaPer asked the Cit,y Attorne,y if the City were a nroperty owner, could restrictive protectice covenants be enforced, and the Czty At,tnrne,y said vPS. Councilman Wripht sa�d that there would be two things to work out wath the �"n�ineer and the Riedels, an area suitable for ponding and protective zoninp without a new ordinance, Councilman Samuelson said he t,hou�ht the City needs a new ordinance and the City Manager said that the Plannin� Commission was workin� on it, and thev will dlsr�zss it on the 2C�th nf May, Councilman Wripht Gaid that the Cit,y Attorney savs he could help speed up the process with the Plannin� Comu�ission so they could get zt to the Counc�l zn reasonable form rapidly. He said that assumin� there was an appropria+P ordinance� a Public Hearing crnitd be called at the earlsest �'or ,iune Fth, or a more normal �late o£ �une 13th� and the City Attarney said th�s woul�i hP fine.

Mr. flroo]<s} representing the Standard Oil Company� and Mr. Johnson were pre�ent at the Council Meeting. Mr. Brooks referred to the report from Mr. Hodne and his eu�geGtiens that the land he used for multiple dwellin�s� a serv�ce station on the south side of the propert,y or rezonin� the entire parcel of land into R-3 if site recommendations are followed.

Coiincilman Sh�ridan asked about Mr. Hodne's 2nd reeommendation� and asked ii the south Port�_on w�s not satisfactorily zoned for this. Mr. Brooks said that with a special use perm�t� there was 200� fronta�e, but this was not the most desirable and would leave the front quadrant zoned residential. Councalman Sheridan asked if their request was to rezone the total area, and Tnr. Prooks answered ,yes, and they taould pick the side exposed to traffic for the Gervir,e station and motel. Mayor K�rkham asked Mr. Kell to find out if the nei�hbors were a�reeable to meet, Mr. KP11 could show them Hodne�s letter, and get some su��estions of their own for Mr, Johnson.

HiJMA4i R��,Lt�T70NS COMMITTEF� MEN�TING MINUTE� MAY 11� 1966: The C�t,y Mana��er reborted that he had not ,yet received the minutes from the Human �elations Committee, �,.� � � �/16/66 COMM[iNi CATi ON S : HOKEN50�1 - CTVIr, CFNTER: Mayo: Kirkham asked the Cit,y Mana�er to read the letter £rom Mr. C. Mark Hoken=on, in which he questioned the le�ality af movin� the Cit,y Hall to Lncke Park. Mr. Hokenson, l�61 Rtice Creek Roulevard was present at the Coimctl hiPetinp and sa�d he would like to hear the Cit�J Attorney�s report on the legal�tv of �uch a move. The City Attorney had a prepared memorandum wh�ch he handed out to the Council and read aloud to the public. It st�ted that he had founrl no snecif7c location named in the of£1cia1 6allot, which he read, n�thinp in th� nfficsal notice� whir.h he read, and no lorztion named an the bi�s on bonds. H�s memorandum stated ihat Locke Park is t,orrens property, the lan�uaFe _ of the CiPP.d sa,ys the land is for the use of the City and the public for a park and for its public purposes� and the torrens certificate further reveals the property may be used £or "other pnblic purposes deemed necessary". His onlnien Was t,hat Lorke Park can be used le�ally by the City, and there is nothinp to prohibst the C�tv from buildinp, the Cit,y Hall there, The only restrict,�on he could £inci was on the fee title� which prohibii.s selling liquor there. Ceuncilman Wrlght asked the CZty Attorne,y if he exam�ned the bond issues for the purchase of Locke Park. The City Attorney sa�d the bonds were not for the specific` �urchase o£ Locke Park� but there were t,wo issues for the purchase of Park property. Co�xnc�lman Wri�ht� asked Zf t]Ze first bond lssue was not. executed pr�or to the closin�; of the purchase o£ Locke Park, and approximat,el_y Ii0°r of the Purrhase pr�ce was from this bond issue, and subsequently there wa� � second bond issue for park purposes. He sa�d that because both bonds were for the purpose o£ purchasin� park land�, whether or not they specified I,oci<e Park, and were used entirely for the acquisition of Locle Park� except for incidenta] eapenses� wouldn't it be correct that an,y of the restr�ctlons of that authorization from the votel's are carried over to the subsequent use made of Locke Park. The Cit,y Attorney said that, based on his research, th,_� would not be true, Mr. I�okens�n mentaoned that Councilman WriRht and CoLmcilman Sheridan have pr��ared a memn to the Council considering the five o�tions to bujld or , relo�ate, and at this tune he would like to ask the Council to reconsider moving to Locke Park. —� Councilman Harris said that th�s was not a discussion as to where the ]ocation of' Cit,y Hall should be, bnt he would like to cangratulate and commend Councxlman Sher�dan and ulrl�ht for the work done �n providing this �nformat�on. He said it was unfortunate that it was �iven to the publ�c before the Council had a chanoe to review it completely. He had not had a crance to firther scrutinize the fi�ures as s�ated sn the columns, he ment�one.d he did find some errors, not of commission� but of ommission, and before the public assumes this is a documented findinP, he felt the rest of the Gouncil and the Attorney should have a chance to review this and nrovide to the public a combsned pro�ram showinp, the choices and £easibilities based on economics. Co�xncilman Wr�pht said that he would like to specify speciiicall,y that this anal,ys�s was not an attempt to ar�ue for any one alternative, but was the fairest plcture they could come up with. If there are errors, it was he and C�u�rllman Fherldan Frho made them as neither the Administration nor consultants were znvolved in this project. He said they real�ze that no £inal dec�sinn has been made nor w�l] a f_inal decasion be made this evenin�, but he Pelt it was proner to release as much �nformation as possible to the public as quickly as the Cotmcil can �et it� as lon� as the,y underst?nd the source� and that the rost estimates are nothing more than estimates. He sazd that when tentative aPreement was reached to move City Hall, it was done .nt,h varying degrees of enthusiasm and various stipulations, and was not a formal meet.in�. He stated Be a�reed to support a move that was fl scally feast6le and responsible provided that if park land were used� it be renlaced at once, xie stated that the analysis they have made shows one £actor of pr�mary smnortance� that 9S the C�ty Hall should move to the Locke Park szte or the HaFner site, it would be far less expens�ve to do so and leave the fire and po]ice station here� remodelin� this buildinp, for them� and this is not the understandinP he had before, If we do move the City Hall and leave the fire and police station here, we cannot sel]_ this land, and where are thP f,an�ls {,o rPn]ace the I.ocke Park acrea�e-- so the nri,mary, requ,rement is missin�. He felt �t shoul�i pet a full hearin�� and the Admin�stration should hP asked to wnrk ii over anr] Prepare a ver=�_on in�orporatzng thPSe facts an�l an,y others Ceunc�lmPn ma�r think of� ancl make lt available t,o the nublic. .� � -l� d K/]6/6b MOTION b,y Councilman Wright to receive the document from Councilman Wri�ht and Councilman Sheridan. Ma,yor Kirkham said that since Mr. Hokenson asked to be heard, and the Coimcil is cons�dering his request� he wi�ll not ask for a second at this time. He asked Mr. Hokknson if he had any further comments. Mr. Holeenson said that he asks the Cotmcil to look over this pro�ect vexy careflxlly, as the,y are �nt,erested in t,he cost. Mr. Tom JohnSOn� a visitor to the Council Meetln�� said that his company� Ar,me Metal Spinning, and others in the southern part oP Fr9dle,y were interested in Fridley�s fire and police protection, and they wou]d like to see these departments remain where the,y are or �o farther south, and they stron�ll feel that the park system should be used only for parks. He said that Fridley wanted a center� and if they move City Hall� they will be dispersing it, and the bus�nessmen £eel they would like to see it stay at its present site. Councl]man Sheridan said that he did not dispute the findinps of the Csty Att�rney on t,he le�alit,y oi' the move� but he would like to call the Council's attent�on t,o the pr�posal matiled to the resident voters wh�ch referred to i,he C�ty Hall bond issue. I'� said on the proposal that the City Hal1 was to L�e located a+ 6l�th and IIn�versity on land owned by the City and that additional land was to be acquired to the rear. He stated that morally he felt the Council is required to keep the City Ha11 at its present site or �o back to the voters for a vntP to allow the Gouncil t� move the Gity Aal7, The City Attornev sa9d he hed rommented onlv as to the le�al limitations, and whether there was a moral obl��ation was not for him to sa,y.

They feel that it is �mnortant that the Cit,�r Hall be located as conveniently as possible to as man,y citizens as possible and that, it would seem a shame i,o move it farther to the north. The seconrl �emmP�t is that the concept of a central city area has not been ��ven up� �ust the wav in which it +.r�ll be £inanced� and th1G area needs a cornerstone. 7f City Nall were to move it would take with it some of the office and bus,ness potentaal nf this arPa. He said that unt,il tom �ht the,y did not know of R�edel's of£er of land for a possible pond which would make the current loration unique for a City Hall, and they hope the �ouncil takes co�nizance o£ these factors in their decision. Counc�lman Uarris stated that some of the comments in the communication were or�en for discussion. He said that it may be o£ interest to the public, that the Coimc�l is hanpy to announce, and especially himself as Chariman o£ the Inc7ustr�al CommissZ�n which is keenly interested �n industrlal development 1n Fr;dlev� that one of the areas which had been incluc3ed in the Urban Renewal Pro,ect w�ll be developed hy the Frickson Brothers, Holiday Stores.

Mr, Meyer addressed the Council and stated that he was concerned about the der.islon to move the Cit,y Hall for a number of reascros. He stated that the C�unc�] had not r.onsulted the Plannin� Commission, Parks and Recrentioci Committ��, C�ty P]anner - Hodne, �ire or Poltce Departments, Chamber of Comm�r�e or a number of other Cii,y Comittees, He ,aid that none of these, vthether voluntar,y or paid� were officiall,y consulted. He said that, the renort wki�r,h was presented tonight, which was not full,y examined by all I the Council ;,��t, is the sort of thznp, that should have been done last ,Tanuary. He said that the statement has been made �hat there is no commit- -J ment yet., hut that the architect is designino a plan fe* Locke Park, and a goori part is alread,y expended� so there alread,y is a heav�r financial commitment in the Locke Park scheme, He asked what the City is getting in Lncke Park that, they could not get here 3n this C�ty Hall, as an architect can make a building cost anywhere irom $10 a square foot to $30 depending on the qual_it,y of consbruction. He pointed out they are cutting out the concept �f a community room and library room. Mayor 'f,irkham said that perhaps the Council made a mistake in tak�ng the recommPnd�i,ion of ihe Fridle,y Hous�n� and Redevelopment Authority not to add to t,his bui]din,a,. Mr. Herder sai.d that this is not the same as moving the site. Mr. Mepers sai_d he would like to sa,y one thing as a po�nt o£ lnformatzon. On the consideratlon of the Hafher site� it is most important to realize that the architPCt is �*oing ahead expending money in the Locke Park site, and he is Poing to charge to re-do the plans� so Mr. Meyers recommends that the Connc�l iG^n� a stop order on a11 pre7iminary drawinp.

LJTTLP' L�AGUE LEASE RR�U&ST: The Clt,y Attorney stated that he had prepared a slceleton lease apreement based on the discussion of the previous Council Meeting. If �t can be hased on the f��+ures mentioned without correction, it indicates the Little Lea�ue would pay 5� of the total cost of the City�s interest per vear, or what it wou]_d cost the Cit,y in interest to purchase the property. He said the annual rental would be $1200 or $100 a month� and he has prepared a five year 7ease with a f;ve ,yPar option. The Little Lea�ue would pexmit, the City Rer,reataon program to use it when it is compatihle, and the Little LeaPue �rtll be respon,ab]e to keep it free and clear and responsible for the maintenance. He stated that the I,ittle Leapue will not be responsible when i,he RPCreat,lon Department is usinp, the property, U1hen the a�reement is to be tFrminated, the Little Lea�nie as authorized to remove any removable improvements, and the Cit,y will pay � fair cost for non-removable items. T�e Citv ManaPer explained that ihe doZlar fi�ures have chan�es a little bit. The �;ty had hou�ht all of $lock 16, The County carr�es the property as not c�ty owned, with one-half of it carried as tax delinquent. He stated that the add�t�onal cost would be �n special assessments, making about $1q,000 rather than �25�000. Counrilman Samuelson said that the Czty should make a dec�sion on what the rltv is willin� to do and send the representatives of the Little Lea[�ue a letter. Councilman `�IriPht su��ested perhans the L�ttle LeaPUe would phase it, as the�� want i'ive diamonds. Crnincilman ShAridan SR7(i C,t1Rt, }1P wAS n�t, 3n a�renment t�, charge `�1200 a year for a lease of property. He said that the Little League is takin� a portion of the Recreation pro�ram and handlinp, it, supervised by adults. The,y derive their funds from solicitations from citizens in the c�mmunity� and the property would not be used by outsiders. It would be hls recommendation to �ive them a lease on th�s property, but do not char�e on a lease bas�s as indicated� and with $1200 they could put that many more r,hildren on the fteld fullv 5uited. Councilman Harris asked if Councilman Sheri_dan would a�ree with a lesser t,ype of e�cpenditure, say 2K�. Counc�lman Sherldan said that would be more in line as this was a non-profit or�anization. Councilman Wri�ht said that his feelings were that the Council cotLld not let any orr*ani�,atton, no matter how noble, operate on a basis that creates a losG '.,o the C�ty, in a sense subsidizin� them. He stated that our own Parks and Recreation bud�*et.is very tigh't� and needs mone,y for site acquisition badly. Counci]man Sheridan pointed out that if the land is leased to the Iattle Lea�ue, they in a sense would he developing park land. He said the,y had a surpins of funds toda,y-� because the,y have not had to pay for ball parks, but the costs w�11 go up as they bring in more teams. He stated that the Council wnuld n�t he �eopardizing the park pro�ram hy letting the Little LeaPue lease land t,he CitV already owns. Councilman Harris su��ested they find the break even point on the interest and assessments, as he agreed wlth Councilman Wri�ht that it should at least be a break even proposition. The C1ty Mana�er sa�d he would like to che�k into these fi�ures more. MOTIDN b,y Councilman Harris to refer the leasinq of land to the Little Lea�ue back to the Administration £or a breakdown of the cost of assessments and interest. Seconded b,y Councilman Sheridan.

The Counc�l talked about a plan for the ChristPnson corner with Mr, %urpius oF the Minnesota Hi_ghway Department and Mr. Boh Christenson.

The Mayor said that a straw vote may be called £ory but that in the end it is the Council who must decide. He saicl the signature of the Mayor on tMa bmttem oY the Notice oi Hearing ioes not necessarily constitute his endorsement of a project.

The City Engiraeer said that another petition had been received, because the tima period of the £irst petition had run out� and that it is not necessaTily true that each petition gets a hearing. Councilman Samuelsmn explainad that some of tha people had asked for etreet� but tk�ey could not be mrdered in until ttiere was a atorm serrer� but that people on the loa level want streets and they must have the storm aewer first. He explained that a petitien was received, which was approximately 50� from Hickory Drive. Thn petition was within the s� month period, and it was auggeste� the Council hold a storm sewer Hearing� which is this even#itg. A visitor to the Public Hearing asked if this txcluded %Oth Way.
