discussion.
Councilman Krienke asked to have the specifics of
the topic on the sewer line be recorded.

adopting Ord. 275 was that the sewer line on the east side of the Walker
property was intended to provide sewer service to the properties on the west side
of the Walker property.
Councilmember Smith stated that the citizens she
has spoken with do not want to see us go in the direction of criss-crossing a
sewer line through a wetland and that our code states that stormwater is
approved not sewer.
Jim Cutts pointed out that past practice has
allowed this kind of thing to happen even though the code does not allow for
it.

whether sewer, storm or both can cross the wetland.
Councilmember Krienke agrees that the code on this
issue needs to be clarified and changes to this code address at a later time.

Councilmember Kaemingk asked about the temporary
sediment pond and how long it will be maintained. City Engineer Jason Henry
