Mr. Dave Schulte, Mr. Dale Voltin and Mr. John Rambosek were present to review their sketch plans for Voltin's Oak Hill Estates and Rambosek's Red Oaks. Council viewed the sketch plans favorably and suggested that the plats address future subdivision and road alignments that would coordinate with any future development that might occur on the adjacent Bill Weiss property. C~se #2: Ken Miller Well Problem: (Continued): Mr. Hartley stated that he has reviewed the proposed agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Ken Miller and they are agreeable to it. Councilmember Cox inquired if it has been determined that there is a well problem that is the responsibility of the City and why the well hasn't been retested since the return of the water table to where it was before construction began. Mr. Goodrich stated that he cannot say whether the dollar amount Mr. Hartley proposes reflects the dollar amount of the City's responsibility but the City does have some liability for the interruption of water service to the Millers for a period of time. Mr. Miller stated that nobody can get the well to work. Mr. Hartley noted that the proposed agreement is buying certainty that the connection charge for sewer and water for that property will eventually be paid and that is important when there is a grandfather use inconsistent with current zoning. Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Pearson indicating that even though it is inconsistent, City Council approves entering into an agreement, with terms as proposed, to provide municipal water service to the Ken Miller property in order to resolve the matter of the malfunctioning private well and assure the City that the subject property will eventually pay the sewer and water connection charge. Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca stated that he has seen no documentation that previous contamination of the well had been resolved and that the current interruption of water service was to a well fit for human consumption. Councilmember Sorteberg noted that the City also doesn't have documentation proving the well was contaminated at the time of the service interruption. Councilmember Pearson noted that Mr. Miller's well is only 17 feet deep but he had the same situation happen to him and his well was 50 feet deep. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox and Pearson. Voting No: Councilmember DeLuca.
