The variance allowed a home to be constructed on a cil approved lot zoned located at 355 West 4th RE-- 1 North. The property was purchased by Clair Larkin from William Ellet. The requested adjustment was for 35 feet on frontage and 16 and 70 feet on the sideyards. Since both boards approved and no one appeared to make any objections, the council made a motion to approve the variance. Robert Saxton requested that an additional connection be allowed on the fire line currently being installed at the South Main Street con-- i struction site, to be allowed at cost. They are paying the $1,000 fee on the fire line hookup. An alternate proposal was to install another tappage from the original building on the building. The council felt this would be contrary to the intent of their ordinance and if allowed might encourage other re- quests for a tie-i-n into existing lines from one connection. After weighing the pros and cons of this matter, the council unanimously voted to require a "a inch culinai line into the new adHiHn: to be installed at cost along with an 8 inch line at a charge of $1,000 on the fire protection line. Low income housing regulations have been changed some this year and more deductions are allowed. It was reported that $8,750 has been alloted to Smithfield for this cause this year. Attention was called to the fact that bridges and culverts where new homes are being constructed are causing problems. The council asks citizens to be aware that the size must be approved by both the city and the irrigation company before installation. The whole of the council meeting was spent with Val- ley Engineering, Inc. engineers Gale Larsen and Ken Jones, discussing the citys water system. A cost com- parison for dividing the proposed 1978 project into smaller projects over a 15 year period was presented by selling business to make Valley.

Based upon the various meetings with Valley Engineering and the outcome of the report, the council has discussed in many council meetings increasing the minimum water rate. The minimum has been raised only twice since 1968 and the council agreed that the excess use should be increased as well. The fees for excessive use. have remained at the same rate since 1968. Discussion continued on this matter for more than an house and a half as members were hesitant to make the motion for the increase. Councilman Budd Low felt that the small water user shouldnt pay a higher rate than the commercial user. He suggested that the large users should pay the same rate and not receive a discount.

Mayor Ballom said in regards to changing the rate, I feel uneasy that we feel uneasy. Lonnie Loveday, Councilman, mated in response to this statement, But when we think about the next two years water supply and when the last raise was nine years ago on the excessive use, I don't think we can do anything else." It ws finally agreed and the motion made to unanimously institute that the billing fees would be increased by five cents after the first 20,000 gallons, from 15 to 20 cents after the next 30,000 gallons and from 12 to 17 cents after the next 50.000 gallons (or 100,000 all told).
