All members were present. Mr. Kern moved to approve the minutes of the last regular meeting, Mr. Hohl seconded it and it passed unanimously- COMPLETION OF BLUE W00D cREEK: Mr. M~xH~dson appeared before the Board and presented a petition with 28 signatures petitioning the Board of Public Works to complete the Blue Woods Creek p~oject, starting at Lakeshore Drive East, and eastward to Stratford Place. In aacordance with the plans that were submitted and approved by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Town of Carmel, the following work remains to be completed: (1.) Head walls on both sides of L~keshore Drive East, at the Culverts, as shown and approved by the plans submitted. (2.) Rip-rap to be placed on the bends of the creek, from Lakeshore Drive East, and eastward to Stratford Place, as designated on the original plan. The original plans called for a 12-foot bottom with a 2 to i side slope; however, had this been carried through as the plans called for, it would have been highly improbable that iot #172, on the south of the creek, and lot #171, on the north of the creek, would have been large enough lots for the houses which are now situated on these two lots. In order for these two lots to be buildable lots, it was necessary to maintain the very steep Slopes. Because rip-rap was never placed on the slopes, severe erosion has occurred which will now require fill dirt before rip-rap can be placed on the banks. The petition further stated that the signators felt the responsibility for completing this project falls upon the City of Carmel because the Beveloper was released from the Performance Bond by the City Engineer. City Engineer stated the bonds were released in 197~. Mr. Kermmoved the City Engineer give a report within the next couple of meetings as to what has to be done and at what cost, Mayor Pickett seconded it and it passed unanimously.

Mayor Pickett read memo from Clyde E. Williams stating the decision to accept it or turn it down was not really an engineering decision, it was a matter for the Board of Public Works policy or executive decision. Mr. Hohl moved the first 7~ units be approved, Mr. Kern seconded it and it passed unanimously. Mr. Langston reviewed the status of a possible subdivision in the NE section of Carmel. He found a piece of ground which is approximately three blocks south of l~6th Street on the east side of Gray Road, approximately 70 acres and plan to develop it into 70-71 lots. Clyde E. Williams came back with a suggestion that Page 2 2/28/?8 he be denied right to hook on to the sewer. This was a yea~ ago. Since that time, a lot has happened out here. This would basically tie in with the new sewer line coming up Coo~ Creek. He would like some g~idance from the Board as to the feasibility of putti~ in sewers and septics. Mayor Pickett stated the Board would review it. Mr. Hohl would look into it and report back at next mmeting.
