My point is that since you do not own the water and are Allen Pay, city water master, you may as well go back on the culinary system Hick Kolen, council member, agreed. 1 think we should hook back up to the culinary system and get it over w ith, he said. Pay said that it would take approximately one week to do the job of reconnecting to the culinary water line. . The reason the irrigation the culinary system for about water cannot be delivered to $ 1.000.

The majority of them run, said Leavitt. However, the ordinance does not have operable vehicles as the only criteria. Those vehicles must also be licensed and must carry a current inspection. Leavitt said he was building a fence and the two reefer" trailers (refrigerated units which are usually part of tractor-traileunits used to transport perishable items) were delivered to his home earlier than they should have been. His plan was to remove the axles, put the trailers on railroad ties in a corner of his property and then use them for storage. They should not show over the top of the fence, he said. However, the fact that he was constructing a fence did not satisfy the terms of the ordinance, said Newell. The ordinance was designed to not allow junk yards inside city limits, he said. After three, it could be considered a wrecking yard, said Mayor Bryce Lynn. We have had complaints and they are within their rights to complain.

And when they were talking about a shelter, they were talking about a building. A tarp would not satisfy requirements of the ordinance. Leavitt said he was not operating a business. His hobby is restoring old vehicles, said Leavitt. That is why he has so many. "Restore three of them at a time, said Quinton Kay. The ordinance is there to protect you as well as others.

They will also be expected to clean up their lots. You need to communicate with your neighbors, said Newell. Talk to your neighbors and let them know your plans. One of those neighbors, Mike Stringer, was present and said he had some objections to the vehicles. When they were left, as they had been, for two or three months, the rodents moved in.

Madolyn Liebing, Ph.D. and Manager of The Journey: Blazing New Trails, LLC, and project engineer, Bruce R. Ward, Aqua Engineering, Inc., told Mona Council members they had completed the development plan for the youth home project and had submitted it to the planning commission. letters of apfrom the county proval health department, the city attorney, the sheriff and the city engineer, said Quinton We need Kay, council member. In addition to letters of approval, Rory Nielson, council member who sits on the planning commission, said the planning commission issued a list of seven items which must also be met. At an earlier meeting, Liebing was instructed to put together a development plan and present it to the city planning commission for approval. The three main areas of concern were the septic system, the water supply, and fire suppression, said ,iebing. up-to-da- wells, the Sate Engineer should be notified and the proper water rights and permission obtained, said Ward. Ward said he was also recommending that the water line existing be replaced with an PVC pipeline and that a fire hydrant should be placed at or near the 8-i- property line which Liebing intends to pay to have installed. Liebing said that she would pay to enlarge the existing line to the facility so that an adequate water supply would be available. Regarding the installation of the line under the railroad; we have con- tacted the railroad permit ting department and they have no problem with the existing line being upgraded to an line as long as it is bored and metal cased under the railroad and meets all other con8-i- n right-of-wa- y struction requirements.

Another concern, that of having a dead end line and stagnant water at the end of the line would not be a problem since the line will be in consistent use at the youth home. At the same time, water use would not be high enough to cause any concerns about reducing overall pressure for the iebing. Hall gave his verapproval for the plan bal although an actual septic permit cannot be obtained until the youth home actu- ally owns the property. Ward said the existing home, which Liebing plans to enlarge, has used a cesspool which will be abandoned. The top of the cesspool will be taken off, any remaining waste will je pumped out, the hole will be filled with sand and a top soil cover. The flow rate, said Ward, needs to be 100 gallons per day per person and a maximum of 30 persons can be accommodated. Although test pits do not show high ground water at the present time, there is sufficient evidence that ligh water at the site has occurred several times in the past, said Ward. In this situation, it is recommended that an wastewater system je used, he said. In order to be workable, the natural slope of the site cannot exceed 4 percent, )ut, he said, the slope at the site is 3 percent.

Liebing said the idea that there would be insufficient pressure to provide 1100 inches of water per minute because it is a dead end line appears not to be a valid 12-inc- h one. Ward had done calculations with elevation and distance and it appeared the fire hydrant will have sufficient pressure. Liebing said she ex- plained to John Sutherland, city fire chief, that if there is not sufficient pressure then a fire suppression auxiliary pump with an independent power source and an auto switch would be installed. She said Sutherland had told her that with' a fire hydrant so close she may not need to install a sprinkler At-Gra- system inside the house. fire alarm system and A smoke detectors will be installed.
