BR00KSHIRE NORTH SECTION ~: Mr. A1 Hughey appeared before the Board to discuss the proposed requirement for him to put in a 10" water main for seven acres of undeveloped land. He orkly needs to put in a 6" main to serve his Brookshire Pines. He stated they did not have the cost of a 10, main figured into the cost of the lots. There is no way to re-bate on oversiziD~ of water mains at the present time. He stated he would like to make a request the 10" water main be left as a proposed water main while they develop the ground and then if it does have to be put in when that area is developed, put it in then, rather than at the present time. That would give the City and the developers timetowo~kc~an equitable means of re-imbu~sement for oversizing. Mr. Uhrick and the Board went over the April 1977 water master plan which indicated a 10" main was to go through that area. Mr. Hohl stated the re-imbursement method was deleted by the ordinance recently en~{~ By~-C6~cil. ~ayor Pi~'~s~-~ ~-~eister and Mr. ThomPson had recommended that be done.
