installed. It was pointed out that Attorney Anderson is making contact
with Fred Kvarfordt and Wayne Peterson on the title for Well #5 so that
final payment can be made. Mayor Wehmann requested that Council members
report to him if they observe the need for street repair within the next
week so that this can be taken care of while the weather is still good
for patching, and he mentioned that the concrete work which is to be done
on sidewalks and curbs and gutters at several locations throughout the
City should be completed ri~ht away also.
Regarding unfinished business, Councilwoman Dille referred to a vacancy
on the Planning and Zoninq Commission, and Mayor Wehmann suggested that
something be done by the City for Joseph Wenger in appreciation of all
the time and effort he put into assisting the City on the Utah Power &
Liqht_ case. Councilman Swensen noted that a bid of around $3,000 has been
received from Lynn Reiman for a complete repair of the City Building roof,
compared to a $400 bid from another individual to repair only the part
that is bad at this time, and it was recommended that Mr. Reiman be given
an opportunity to bid on the partial job before making a decision. Re-
garding the problem of fences in the easement for access to the 17th St.
storm sewer station, Mayor Wehmann reported that a letter is being prepared
to send to the property owner regarding this matter.
Regarding the continuation of the Public Hearing on Mountain Valley Estates,
which was to have been conducted on this date, it was noted that neither
the developer or Douglas Hall, who has a special interest, were present.
Councilwoman Dille moved to recess said hearing until October 5, 1977.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; the voting was Dille, yes;
Swnsen, yes; Lee, abstained; motion carried.
Claims were approved for payment. Councilwoman Dille moved to adjourn;
the motion was seconded by Councilman Lee; the meeting was adjourned at

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and City Council and a
Continuation Hearing on Mountain Valley Estates:
The following City Officials were
Mayor George Wehmann
Councilman Marvin J. Anderson
Councilwoman Carol A. Dille
Councilman Francis Lee
Councilman Russell N. Swensen
present:
Office Clerk Aleen Jensen
Asst. Engineer Robert Butler
Attorney W. Joe Anderson
Others present were: Rod Blossom, Benton Engineering, and H. Dwight
Whittaker--both representing Mountain Valley Estates; Douglas 11all, pro-
perty owner adjacent to Mountain Valley Estates; and Roland T. Romrell
came in for a few minutes near the end of the regular meeting.
The Continuation Hearing was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Mayor George
Wehmann. Due to conflict of interest, Councilman Francis Lee exempted
himself from the hearinq on MountainVallev Estates. i<od Blossom and H.
Dwight Whittaker presented the preliminary plat for the new development.
The need to annex a small portion of the railroad right-of-way and a rail-
road crossing at Wanda Street, approximately midway between 17th Street
and Sunnyside Road, was discussed. The development comes within 300 feet
of the Bonneville-Iona Sewer District and Mr. Whittaker pointed out where
the sewer line would be. Discussion followed concerning whether or not
homes would be required to hook on to the sewer. The County has the re-
quirement to hook on to the sewer if the property is within 300 feet. In
discussing whether or not a property owner would be forced to hook on, the
example of property owners on Sunnyside Road being required to hook on to
the Idaho Falls sewer was cited. The reason for this action was not known,

howev2r, it was the opinion that the Health Department or E.P.A. would
have had some influence and, also when bonding for a sewer, everyone is
needed to get the bonds paid. If the property included in the Mountain
Valley Estates and the property of Douglas Hall which is bordered on three
sides by Mountain Valley are annexed, the City of Ammon will have juris-
diction. If the properties are not annexed, Bonneville County will have
control.
Douglas Hall, who was a little late coming in, requested further clarifi-
cation of the county requirement if water and sewer was brought to a stub-
bing point within 300'. Attorney Anderson explained that there is a County
ordinance which states that any location within 300' shall be required to I
hook on. In response to the question if the County can seek and force the
ordinance, Attorney Anderson determined the "shall" to be mandatory. Mr.
Hall further wondered if the City and County were the same as he under-
stood the City to be 200' and the County 300'. Also, Mr. Hall asked, if
he chose to be annexed to Ammon, could the City grant a waiver of this
requirement. The City could not grant a waiver, however, the City could
choose not to act upon the matter. Mr. Hall wanted to know if the sewer
later came down Crowley Road would he be forced to pay another fee. It
was explained that the Bonneville-lona Sewer does nIDt include Crowley Rd.
at this time, and it is being built with revenue bondiny. If financing
was by L.I.D. the property could be assessed. No one can say whether or
not there will be an L.I.D. in the future. No one can predict the form
of financing. When sewer service is provided, Mr. Hall would pay a tap
fee and incur the cost of the sewer from the stubbing point up to the Hall
resident. The County usually is concerned with developing'streets and not
sewers, however,fue County did make a L.I.D. for Lawndale.
Councilman Russell Swensen read from the Municipal Code of the City of
Ammon: 8-4-11 "CONNECTION TO SANITARY SEWER REQUIRED: Every parcel of
land or premises within the City, improved for occupancy and occupied or
used by any person, or by persons, shall be connected to the public san- I
itary sewer if such sewer is within two hundred feet(200') of such land
or premises. TheoWler or person in charge of such land shall make, or
cause to be made, such connection within ninety (90) days after receiving
official notice from the City to so connect. Mayor Wehmann recommended
to Mr. Hall that he contact the Bonneville County Assessor's office to
get their assistance in computing tax figures for his property. Mr. Hall
commented that it appeared that, if he went with the County, he would
have to hook on to the sewer and, if he went with the City, he might have
a gambling chance. The comment was made that there might be a possibility
of hooking one residence on with a 4ft service line. Mayor Wehmann em-
phatically explained that no plans would be approved if they included a
4" service line with land sitting there which could within a short time
require more. The lines have to be adequate to serve the property.
Mayor Wehmann expressed his desire that Mr. Hall understand both views.
The Preliminary Plat can be approved without Mr. Hall making a decision.
Mayor Wehmann asked that Mr. Hall send the City a letter when he decided
which course of action he wanted to take. The Union Pacific Railroad had
been contacted and it l~oks like approval is favorable, however, the paper
work needs to be completed. Rod Blossom" Development Engineer, asked that
since the weather would soon be against the development for this year, could
work commence by way of Crowley Road provided the City approved the Plat I
until railroad approval was received. Mayor Wehmann advised that no ap-
proval for any construction would be given until the railroad approval
was given. The Council were in agreement with this. The Preliminary
Plat shows 120' lots in Mountain Valley Estates.
As proposed new subdivisions are considered~ MaYQr Wehmann exgressed his
conCerh about an adequate supply of water~.equal1zing.water c $ts ror water
users, and the cost ~o the City for prov1u1ng water I1nes. Th1s year we
have been conscious of conserving water and perhaps it would be worthwhile
to meter the use of water. Also, large city lots use more water than
small ones, yet everyone pays the same amount each month. Large families
use considerably more water than the widow. We charge a fee of $300'~to
tap into the sewer--why not charge a fee to tap into the water. The City
faces quite an overwhelming expense to provide water services with the
rapid growth. The Mayor requested that the Council give consideration to
I

the water problems and also consider requesting all new subdivisions to
install meters. Idaho Falls is doing an indepthstudy on water at the
present time and has promised a copy of their study on water meters.
Councilman Swensen felt it was worthy to conserve water and equalize
the costs, however, with water as hard as Ammon has, he would like proof
that the meters would hold up. Some cities charge a flat water fee plus
additional for large lots during the summer months. Councilman Swensen
noted that this year was a good example--we have had less water to use
but the farmers have utilized the water available and have produced
good crops.
The question was raised regarding the actual pavement width of streets
in the proposed development. Engineer Blossom stated that the plans
were for 28' of actual pavement. This is the width normally put in un-
less there is curb and gutier. The bridge needs to have State of Idaho
approval. Engineer Blossom commented that if water is not metered you
need to have double sized lines--unmetered systems use twice as much
water as metered ones.
Councilwoman Dille moved that the City approve the Preliminary Plat for
Mountain Valley Estates. Councilman Swensen seconded the motion. Voting
was unanimous in favor. The motion carried. The Mayor will advise the
developer about the Utlion Pacific's decision, Douglas Hall will let the
City know of his decision, and Rod Blossom will prepare the Final Plav.
The Continuation Hearing was adjourned.
The regular meeting of the Mayor and City Council was called to order
at 8:35 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann. The pledge of allegiance to the
flag was conducted by Councilman Anderson. The invocation was offered
by Councilman Swensen. The minutes of the last meeting were not approved
because the.City Clerk Deon Hemingway is on vaction.
Designation of Election Judges and Clerks- The l~st of names of those who
served on the last City Election in 1975 were reviewed. Councilman Swensen
moved that, subject to their approval, the following clerks and judges be
appointed for the 1977 Election: Ethel Pickett, Patricia Hay, Beth Lords,
Mildred Empey, Almira Richardson, and Myrle Groom with Almira Richardson
in charge; Alternates-(1) Vera Lee, (2) Leona Dees, and (3) Louise Hess;
Constable - Dermont Ricks. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dille.
Councilman Swensen asked permission of the second to include some altern-
ates for Constable in the motion. Councilwoman Dille gave her approval
and Alternate Constable choices were (1) Glen Southwick and (2) Doward
Kopp. The voting was unanimous in favor. The motion carried.
Councilwoman Dille moved that the compensation of election workers be set
at $2.30 per hour for the first eight hours and $3.25 per hour for over
eight hours. Councilman Swensen seconded the motion. Voting was all in
favor. Motion carried.
City of Ammon Impact Area- Mayor Wehmann reviewed status of the impact area.
Since work was first started to set.up Ammon's impact area, there have
been changes. The Mayor recommended that the Council declare significant
changes and readvertise. There was some discussion as to whether or not
both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council would have
to reconsider. Attorney Anderson was asked to research the proper pro-
cedures and advise the Council. Last Friday, September 30, 1977, Mayor
Wehmann and Councilwoman Dille met at a Breakfast Meeting at 6:30 A.M.
at Bert's with Councilman Gil Karst, Councilman Thomas Campbell, and
Mayor Eddie Peterson of Idaho Falls. During the meeting the two cities
worked together to define their impact areas. Both Mayor Wehmann and
Councilwoman Dille felt that they had a good session together. The law
requires that the impact area be established by December 31. Mayor
Wehmann pointed out Qn an aerial map recommended area of impact for Ammon
as defined at the Breakfast Meeting. The area was defined as follows:
North Boundary - t mile North of First Street; Western Boundary- Sand
Creek North of 17th Street and Sand Creek South of 17th Street except the
boundary would move out furhter West to include the Eastgate Shopping
and trailer area; Southern Boundary-Township Road; and Eastern Boundary-
1} miles East of Crowley Road. There was some discussion regarding these
302
October 5, 1977
boundaries, but it was the concensus of opinion of the Council that these
were pretty good boundaries. Attorney Anderson pointed out t~c an impact
area is something for planning. Councilwoman Dille moved that the Council
accept the area of impact as presented and that it be advertised as such.
Councilman Swensen seconded the motion. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Motion carried.
Plastic Water Pi-pe- Mayor Wehmann asked, "Does anyone have any objection
to plastic pipe?" Bob Butler, Assistant City Engineer, presented to the
Council members copies of specifications for use of plastic pipe for
municipal water systems. In preparing these specifications, he had done I
some investigation and various cities are using plastic pipe. Bob Butler
called attention to the fact that in any non~metalic pipe you can't con-
duct electricity through it. Also, because of freezing plastic pipe needs
to be buried deeper--six feet minimum. Engineer Butler said that for lo-
cation purposes, the drawings of Ammon's water lines are quite accurate.
Councilman Swensen wanted to know what he meant by "quite accurate" for
example 3'. He explained that on new pipe he meant within 1'. Council-
man Lee asked if it was necessary to change an ordinance. It was deter-
mined that it was not necessary. Engineer Butler further recommended
that Ammon maintain continuity of the system in as area and only approve
the use of plastic pipe in defined areas. He recommended that in the
new subdivisions North of 17th Street and the one East of the Railroad
would be acceptable. The copies of specifications presented were labeled
"Draft" because the City Engineer; David Benton, had not had the oppor-
tunity to sign them and Bob Butler had modified the American Waterworks
specifications to fit Ammon's system specifically so that we would not
eliminate manufacturers of plastic materials. There was no objection to
use of plasticwater pipe in defined areas.
Ammon-IBSD Agreement-Mayor Wehmann stated that he had reviewed the agree-
ment and as far as he was able to determine there were only two blanas--%
rate and number of years. He asked the Council if they had any other I
comments f~om their review of the agreement. Councilman Lee had missed
receiving a copy and he was provided one. Mayor Wehmann asked Attorney
Anderson to set up a meeting with the Iona-Bonneville Sewer District.
Water Meter Boxes in all future Subdivisions- This subject was discussed
earlier in the hearing portion of the meeting, but the Mayor again en-
couraged the Council to give some careful consideration to requiring
meters in new subdivisions. Ammon is facing a possible 100 acre annex-
ation in the proposed new Felt-Wait Addition. It will be hard on the City
to keep up with the expense of a-good water system. Engineer Butler quoted
that a water meter would cost approximately $300 installed.
R 11 t d 1"n to encourage the Council to take so.me action on

the problem gratinqover the ditch on Romrell Lane by h1s place. Mayor
Wehmann advised that a work order had been given to get this fixed, but so
far it had not been done satisfactorily. Romrell stated that he would
be willing to work with the City to get the job done, and the Mayor pro-
mised to get something done about it.
Utah Power and Liqht Case-Mayor Wehmann expressed his pleasure about the
outcome of the UP&L request for rate increase before the Public Utilities
Commission. The increase granted was for 8.15%. This case drew the str-
ongest public comment. On the negative side, Idaho Power is proposing that
the setting of rates be taken out of the hands of the Public Utilities
Commission and make it a cost of production. Idaho Power and Utah Power
are teaming up. Unless there was some objection, Mayor Wehmann proposed
taking those who worked on the UP&L case so diligently (partners included)
out to dinner.
I
Low-Head Hydro-Ririe Dam-U.S. Senator Frank Church has urged Mayor Wehmann
to pursue Low-Head Hyrdo out of the iUrie Dam. Mayor asked if anyone was
against him doing so. No objection was expressed.
Office of Consumer Services-Mayor Wehmann made two trips to Boise to urge
Governor Evans to apply for an Office of Consumer Services.
Idaho did apply

and was successful in obtaining funds which should be very beneficial.
Mayor Wehmann called attention to Councilwoman Dille that he had received
a letter from Sheriff Skinner wanting to know about the law enforcement
contract.
Planning and Zoning Commission-Mayor Wehmann proposed that Joseph W. Wenger
be appointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission to replace Earl McCoy.
Mr. Wenger was a diligent worker on the UP&L case. There was some question
as to whether or not he met the residency requirement. Councilman Swensen
encouraged that the Council not get into a situation like the Bonneville
County Commissioners. Attorney Anderson reminded that members of the
Planning and Zoning Commission do not make decisions--they make recommen-
dations. Councilwoman Dille moved that Joseph W. Wenger be accepted as a
member of the City of Ammon Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Lee
seconded the motion. Voting was unanimous in favor. Motion carried.
Coupon Book-The work on the coupon book as a method of billing for water,
sewer and garbage services was discontinued until a decision was reached on
the UP&L rate increase. Now that the UP&L ,;as been sett led, the Mayor in-
structed to get the work completed on the coupon book. Postal rates are
supposedly going up.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Police and Fire Department-Councilwoman Dille reported that during August,
1977, 55 citations had been issued (35 traffic and 20 parking), 24 hours
of radar, for a total of 362.5 hours (11 hours by investigaters). Two dogs
and one cat had been picked up. There is a new Animal Control Officer,
Lawrence Skinner. Regarding parking in the streets, the streets seem to be
clear. The problem of Simpsons at 2045 Dove Drive was discussed. Simpsons
have done nothing about cleaning up their premises. Both Councilman Lee and
Councilwoman Dille have checked. A number of possible solutions wr~re con-
sidered--persuading the neighbors to help clean up; citing Simpsons in on a
nusiance charge; appealing to Fred Blair, the owner; getting Harold Argyle,
the owner's boss to'lean on Blair; citation of misdemeanor; if Simpsons had
any church affliation, to get the church's assistance. Councilman Lee ag-
reed to check on LDS Church affliation and to check with Harold Argyle to
see if he could offer any help. The best solution seemed to cite Simpsons
to appear before the City Council. Councilwoman Dille moved that Attorney
Anderson be authorized to draft a letter to Simpsons and Fred Blair, owner,
whereas a complaint has been made by the neighbors upon 2045 Dove declaring
the unkept premises to be a publicnusiance and cite them to appear before
a hearing of the City Council to see if a public nusiance does exist. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Lee. With the permission of Councilwoman
Dille and Councilman Lee, Attorney Anderson restated the motion. Voting
was unanimous in favor. Motion carried.
Mayor Wehmann was authorized to send a letter about the junk car on Avocet
Drive. Attorney Anderson was instructed to send another letter to Nebekers,
2985 East 17th Street, regarding cleaning up their property, with a copy to
go to ,Gene Burch of the Farmers Home Administration.
Public Works-Councilman Lee reported that he had been working on the ~
plow problem. If he didn't solve it soon, he might consider selling the
snow plow and getting a lighter one. Mayor Wehmann encouraged him not to
get too anxious because he was still hoping for a truck from Boise. The
fence around Well #5 is done. The trees have been moved at Harris' place.
The Engineer needs to work on the easement with Harris. There have been
complaints about the City maintenance employees--it is extremely hard to get
them to get anything done. Also, there have been complaints of the men on
garbage truck yelling at people and having foul mouths. The men need some-
one to supervise them.
Fiscal Operations-Councilman Swensen gave Engineer Butler a copy of the Ion~
Bonneville Sewer District study work. ,He reported he needed to get the rest
of his commitments done--roof repair, trench repatr on Ammon Road, sandbag
Le?lacement, and work with LaVern Williams on additional repairs needed for
Dodge truck. The Dodge truck has been out of operation for a long time--
Swensen will follow through to get it in for the hoist.

Parks and Recreation-Councilman Anderson wanted authorization to attend the
Idaho Governor's Conference on Children (Idaho's Greatest Resource--Our
Children and Youth) to be held in Sun Valley on October 18, 19, 20, 21, 1977.
Major topics of the conference are Community Environment, Public Services,
Juvenile Justice, and Home Environment. Mayor Wehmann wondered if Ammon got
that involved with youth. Councilwoman Dille suggested that, if anyone
went it should be the Parks and Recreation Department. Also, important leg-
islation seems to develop from the various conferences. Councilwoman Dille
moved that Councilman Anderson go to the Idaho Governors Conference on Child-
ren and that he be reimbursed on the rate schedule set up. Councilman Lee
seconded the motion. Voting was unanimous in favor. Motion carried. Council-
man Swensen reported that the automatic timer on the tennis court lights I
doesn't work. The Mayor will check with Keith Brown about the problem.
Councilman Anderson reported that it should be about time to take the lights
out for the winter.

nothing to report. The Felt &

Enqineer-Robert Butler reported on the items on the Engineer comm :itrnent list.
The trees have been removed at Daryl Harris' place, but the easement agreement
needs to be completed. The revised preliminary plat of Mountain Valley Estates
was taken care of. Nothing has been done on the anticipated proiects of pav-
ing Midway and Southwick around McCowin Park early in 1978 or land acquisition
and fence for Well #3 in 1978. The operation manual for the pumps at Well #6
is not complete because it has not been possible to get all the necessary
information. The draft copy of specifications for use of plastic pipe for
municipal water system was distrubuted to Councilmen earlier in this meeting.
Engineer Butler thinks we need to drain and clean the water tank and repair the
pump at Well #6 soon. He will work it around his schedule so that he can be
right there to supervise the operation. The sewer meter equipment is not
calibrated. Mayor Wehmann was upset that we couldn't get the sewer meter I
equipment in operation after all this long time. He promised Attorney
Anderson and Engineer Butler who are involved in the IBSD that nothing of
the IBSD was going into Ammon's lines until the sewer meter was working.
Councilman Swensen thought we were still holding money back from the sewer
project until the sewer meter functioned properly. No money was retained,
however, there are letters to document the problem.
City Clerk-The bank balance is $16,309.87 and there are claims in the amount
of $10,580.29 to be paid. Councilmen approved the claims before and after
the meeting.
Mayor-Mayor participates in AIC as a Board Member. When he serves in the
capacity of Board Member, he charges AIC for the meetings. At this time,
Mayor Wehmann has been asked to serve as Chairman of a 30 man Community
Development Task Force which will involve three meetings. He asked-for the
Councils' approval to serve as Chairman and for the City to pay expenses for
the three meetings. Councilman Swensen moved that the Mayor be authroized
to attend the AIC Task Force meetings and to serve as Chairman and be re-
imbursed by the City for expenses at the rate schedule set up. The motion
was seconded by Councilwoman Pille. Voting was unanimous in favor. Motion
carried. The first meeting is in Boise on Monday, October 17, 1977. The I
telephone in the Mayor's home is used a good deal for city business. The
Mayor thought it would be advantageous to install a city telephone in his
home and to have it listed in the telephone directory under City of Ammon
as "Mayor's Residence~' Councilman Lee moved that a telephone be authorized
for the Mayor's residence. Councilman Swensen seconded the motion. Voting
was unanimous in favor. Motion carried. Attention was called to two phone
(extensions) which are in the two back offices of the City Building and are
never used. It was suggested that these be removed. Del Bodily, Bonneville
County Recorder, has inquired if the City would be interested in a City-
County agreement for 1979 election. ,The Council thought the idea not bad
but wanted to know what the cost would be. The agreement would be for a
combined voter registration. The Mayor expressed the need for uniformity
in ~~~~8 Ps~mit fee~. When major new construction occurs plans are

They set up the permit fees accroding to an amount per square foot (con-
forms with the Uniform Building Code). On other construction for remodel~
ing, repairs, sheds, storage buildings, etc. the owner places a valuation,
and the cost of permit is based on this valuation. The Mayor recommends
~hat Ammon establish some uniform fees because it is unrealistic that
buildings could be built for some of the valuation figures. The dis-
cussion on National League of Cities Meeting was tabled until the Mayor
knows more information. There have been complaints about water pressure
in Petersen Park area and the Mayor asked if anyone could give a reason.
The Engineer stated there could be a circulation problem. There will be a
traffic meeting tomorrow morning (County Traffic Safety). The County will
be responsible for the signs on Ross Street. A representative of Inter-
mountain Gas Company and the Mayor conducted a survey of the heatin~ in the
Well pumphouses. The gas company refuses to hook up the furnace at Well #1.
The other wells are using normal household thermostats to regulate the tem-
perature and the lowest setting is 55?, A thermostat is available which can
be set at 35~ The gas company recommended we could obtain different ones
and set them at 40~ Dick Weimer has been contacted to get Well #1 legal
and to change the tllermostats_ When Dermont Ricks sent in his water pay-
ment, he commented that the water charge was too much and what about spray-
in9 ditches. Marian Perrenoud noted that the City gets a lot of bad checks.
She wondered if the City couldn't charge people extra if they wrote an
insufficient funds check. The Attorney said no. Councilman Swensen said
let the bank assess the charge--just keep the check going back to the bank.
There is a problem with Brent Petersen parking a boat and trailer in the
street. The street is not posted for no parking but he leaves the boat &
trailer parked there indefini tely. The Mayor will investigate vhat can I:E cbne.
AttorneY Anderson did a tremendous job on the Utah Power & Light rate in-
crease hearing. He has been left unpaid for his service. Mayor Wehmann
asked Council approval to pay Attorney Anderson $1,000.00 out of the 1978
monies for his services on Utah Power case. The Council was agreeable and
felt that no approval was necessary since it had been budgeted. Unfinished
business--the~roof still needs to be fixed. Councilman Lee moved that the
meeting be adjourned and Councilman Anderson seconded it. Meeting adjourned

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann, with
the following City Officials present:
Mayor George Wehmann Clerk Deon Hemingway
Councilman Francis Lee Asst. Engineer Robert Butler
Councilman Russell N. Swensen
Councilwoman Carol A. Dille
Councilman Marvin J. Anderson
Others present during the meeting were City Councilman Candidate David R.
Rowberry, Pack 307 Cub Scouts David Fullmer, Brock Van Orden and Kevin D.
West, and their leader W. Reed Fullmer.
The pledge of allegiance to the flag was conducted by the Cub Scouts; prayer
was offered by Councilman Anderson. Minutes of the meeting of October 5,
1977, were approved as prepared. Mayor Wehmann acknowledged the presence
of Mr. Rowberry.
An rlpplication for a variance submitted by Larry Clark, 1900 Eagle Dr.,
was;~taken under consideration, and it was noted that the request was to
build a separate garage at a location in the backyard which would be ten
feet from the back of the house in order to place the structure within one
foot of the side property line (the zoning ordinance requires that a separate
building in an R-l Zone should be at least 12 feet back from the house before
