made by Carmelaire Condominiums requesting the City to accept
their sewer and water mains. The motion was seconded by Mayor
Hancock. All members voted aye. Motion carried. The reasons
for denial were as follows:
1.) Areas where the water mains are 3' to 5' from edge of
building. Main breaks could cause major problem with the
foundations. ,,
2.) Meter pit located on top of the water mains. Main breaks
in these areas would require removal and resetting the pit.
3.) Poured concrete patios located over the water mains.
4.) Accessibility for backhoe are very poor in areas. There
are other utilities such as, power control boxes, telephone
boxes, blocking the route where the backhoe would need to get
through.

lines and telephones.
