Since <br />there has not been any past freeze-ups at Mr. Schoonover's address, no <br />notice was sent. Such a notice will be sent in future years. The policy <br />allows the homeowner to appeal the City Engineer decision to Council. Mr. <br />Schoonover is appealing for payment of part or all of the $150 bill. <br /> <br />Childs clarified that the problem occurred at the water pipe which runs <br />between the stop box and the watermain outside the property line. He <br />noted that the last appeal the City received was about four years ago. <br /> <br />Benke feels that given the rarity of such a problem, the appeal should be <br />approved. He suggested the modification of the City Code which would <br />allow the City Manager to approve or deny appeals. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoonover asked how watermain responsibility is determined. Benke <br />said this is a standard policy and asked staff to investigate the issue. <br /> <br />Gunderman suggested the Citizen Study Commission (CSC) review the <br />policy. Larson feels that staff should first review the policy. <br /> <br />Benke suggested that staff perform a preliminary assessment and based on <br />that, the CSC would be instructed to continue the review. Council <br />suggested that staff include in their review the creation of a notice which <br />would provide instructions when a home is left unattended. <br /> <br />Motion by Rebelein, seconded by Larson, to AUTHORIZE STAFF TO <br />REIMBURSE MR. SCHOONOVER FOR THE $150 FOR HIS WATER SERVICE <br />CLAIM AND DIRECT STAFF TO REVIEW POSSIBLE POLICY CHANGES TO <br />THE WATER AND SEWER SERVICE LINE POLICY AND POSSIBLE LATER <br />REFERRAL TO THE CITIZEN STUDY COMMISSION. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Mattila presented for consideration a request for site plan review, special <br />use permit, and nonconforming use permit to construct a 600 sq. ft. <br />addition onto the existing Sunnyside Elementary school building. <br /> <br />Public Hearina <br /> <br />Habitat for <br />Humanity Minor <br />Subdivision <br />Report 93-085 <br />Resolution 93-041 <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Frozen Water Pipe <br />Claim <br />Report 93-087 <br /> <br />Sunnyside School <br />Addition <br />Report 93~088 <br />Resolution 93-042 <br />Resolution 93~043 <br />
