(Councilman Swensen was not present at the time of voting. ) I Garth Cunningham of Ellsworth Engineering displayed a plat of the proposed Hollycove Park Addition which l1as been recommended. for final approval by the Planning and Zoning C;:;ommission. There was some discussion about requiring a fence along the part of the development that borders on Sand Creek and the canal, and other details which need to be included in an annexation agreement for this addition.. Attorney Smith,sug- gested that a recom.mendation on the fence problem could be requested from the safety commit tee. It was noted that the bridge will have to be approved by the canal company and that the City is not to maintain the canal in any way. Attention was called to the Zoning Ordinance amendment which now requires 30-foot lots in R-l Zones, but it wa,s determined that this would not apply to this development since the preliminary plat was approved before the regulation went into effect. Councilman Cheney moved that the final plat of the Hollycove Park Addition be approve'd with the zoning to be R-l. The 78 motion was seconded by Councilman Hirschi; voting was all in favor; motion carried. The need for a park in this new subdivision area was discussed, and it was suggested that the owner of the, property along Sand Creek be approached about land for this purpose. Approval was given by the Council on binders to' be used for the Municipal Code book when the printing is finished. ,;., Matters pertaining to the street repair under the water and sewer project were discus- sed, and it was felt that the City could manage the financing to replace all the paving in the Hillsdale and Hillview Additions by using some of the funds being held for' the widening of 17th Street (which will not be done this year after all) and issuing v;.arrants for.the remainger of the charge for getting the work done. Engineer Benton presented I an estimated cost of $60,000. and was authorized to get the accurate figures and neg- 0tiate with Hartwell Excavating Company. The feeling of the Council on this was ex- pressed in a motion made by Councilman Anderson to go ahead on the basis of the figures presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hirschi; voting ,was all in favo.r;, motion carried. The Council. declared the .1970 Plymouth police car as surplus, and requested the City Attorney to advertise for bids for its sale. In other items mentioned, Councilman Swensen reported that crosswalks are to be painted when the roads are cleaned up, and some streets where the contractor paving has been done need to have the radius filled in. Mayor Turnbow noted that extensions of ditch culverts have been put in on Ammon Road at Rawson Street and Molen Street~ and it was suggested that this should be done also on Central Avenue at those two street interesections. Also, according to the Mayor and Councilmen, several complaint have been received about the dances at the tennis courts conceliling the.volume of the mtlsic, the damage to the cotlrts, etc., and it was decided that a further look at the situation will have to be made before the outdoor dancing season next year. Engineer Benton indicated that the plans are made to eliminate the drainage problem at Samuel Street and Dal Avenue so that the work will be under the Project. He re- ported that the testing of the sewer lines has had to be more extensive than the con- I tractor ha.d originally intended, but is almost completed, and all' of the sewer main lines should be laid by the end of the week. The new motor is now being installed in the Jennie Jean Well No.5, and the building of the storage tank is coming along welL Mayor Turnbow mentioned that the City is putting in shu,t-off valves on some water -service lines where there Jwere nome previously so that the City will have control for bill collecting purposes, etc. He also requested suggestions from tlfe Councilmen for someone who would be eligible for training under a manpower program, p:referably a person who is :mechanically inclined.
