Harold Loveland requested clarification of the city's position for completing the curb and
gutter installation on Ross Avenue north of Sunnyside Road, and was advised that none was
to gO in until the City approves a storm drainage plan for the street. It was determined
that two French drains are now in existence there. Councilman Swensen moved that the
City Council authorize Mr. Loveland to install 164 feet of curb and gutter on the east side
of Ross Avenue which is now deleted, and that the City Engineer give him the prQper grade.
Seconded by Councilman Cheney,; voting all in favor; motion carried. Further discussion
indicated that installation of curb and gutter on the west side of Ross Ave. in that area
should be delayed until the sewer line can be put in with August being suggested as a date
when definite plans should be known. Mr. Loveland was to report at the next meeting if the
FHA would approve of such a delay under the loan conditions for homes built there.
Engineer Benton suggested that the city needs a policy to present to subdivision developers
regarding storm drainage, with a recommendation to come from the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
