It was noted that the building permit was issued-on the same day as <br />the footing inspection was conducted for the residence in November of 1987. It would appear <br />that the 'fill would have had to be in place prior to City inspection of the site, possibly for some <br />time.

The petition involves properties along Ramsey Boulevard in the area <br />of Alpine Drive and 152nd Avenue. The next step would be to prepare a feasibility study <br />outlining the costs, proposed assessments, schedule, etc. The recommendation of the Public <br />Works Committee was that the petition be received, and after City Attorney review as to form <br />and content of the petition, order preparation of the feasibility study considering the extension of <br />urban services to those petitioning properties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig noted this petition has been received from the existing homeowners along <br />Ramsey Boulevard, not by a new development. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to ratify the <br />recommendation of the Public Works Cmrnnittee in Case No. 5 and to direct that the petition be <br />City Council / August 9, 2005 <br /> Page 23 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
