EASEM~,, RELEASE ~0T#ll EDEN GLEN: Mr. Hohl stated on Lot #ll Eden Glen, there
was a very large area which was considered a drainage easement. These people
~az~ted to build a swimming pool and they discovered about one-half of their back
yard was a stray piece of easement. Mr. Hohl stated we would need a legal form
to release this easement. He stated he would have to double check the details.
He stated in his opinion it would be all right to release the easement. Mr. Kern
stated if it was a drainage easement the Council would have to give release.
Mr. Kern stated he would prepare an ordinance and release for them.

was calculated at the then current price $110.00 per connection, condominiums
were counted as apartment units so that was multiplied by 7~ arriving at $77
per connection. The project did not complete. A different group took it over.
They are now under construction. They have come in for sewer permits and Mr. Hohl
stated he was desirous of voidi~ the original sewer permit for bookkeeping
reasons because they can't very well go out and do 30-40 seperate sewer installa-
tion inspections on one permit paper. Mr. Hohl stated there was also the question
of the contract which the City signed at the time Justus Development put in part
of the sanitary sewer. It was a three party agreement signed by Carmel Multi-
School Corp, Justus and City of Carmel. It included the fact that Justus had
paid these permits and this agreement was binding on the assigns of Justus.
Mr. Hohl stated he did not feel we could go back and charge them a higher fee.
Mr. Kern moved to approve Mr. Hohl's recommendation that the sewer connection
fees and availability be considered paid on this project subject to his looking
at the contract, Mr. Hohl seconded it and it passed unanimsouly. Mr. Kern stated
we needed a resolution stating the fees are only good for one or two years.
~6TH STREET CHANGE ORDER: M~yor Pickett read letter from Mr. P~aswamy of
Clyde E. Williama and Associates requesting change order for $4,875.00 for
re-locating the sampli~ point for chlorine residual analysis at the 96th St.
wastewater treatment plant. Mr. Ramaswamy stated inasmuch as the Board of Public
Works felt this item should have been included in the original plans and specifi-
cations, it would be agreeable for Clyde E. Williams to pay to the City of Carmel
a sum of $158.00 being the City's share of the price difference estimate had the
item been in the 1974 bid as compared to today's prices. Mr. Kern stated he
didn't feel the federal government should pay for the mistake of the engineer.
Mr. Dougherty, Utilities Manager, stated the chan~e had already been done by the
contractor upon authorization of someone other than the City. Mr. Hohl moved to
table the approval of the change order and direct Clyde E. Williams & Associates
to approach us with their solution and method of handling on an official basis
all of the outstanding problems we have at.the 96th Street Wastewater Treatment
Project, Mr. Kern seconded it and it passed unanimously.
