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. He had assumed Mr. Thompson was speaking for all the developers. After a
lengthy discussion, Mr. Hohl moved the Board delay any extension of 10" main on
Gray Rd. for the Brookshire Pines subdivision and require that they make a 6"
connection on 126th St. in order to loop their lines and will defer any action on
said 10" main on Gray Rd until such time as our policies have been definitely
determined, Mr. Kern seconded it and it passed unanimously.
