City of Carmel~Y VIA FAX: 8142231 Original by mail August 14,2003 Jim White Primrose Development LLC 1016 3rd Avenue SW, Suite 100 Carmel, IN 46032 RE: Laura Vista Subdivision, Lot 55 Dear Mr. White: This letter is in response to our recent discussion regarding Lot 55 within the Laura Vista Subdivision. As you noted it may be the desire of the owner of the property to remove the parcel from the plat, have access as proposed to Laura Vista Drive including construction of a drive and gate and ownership of Block "B", maintain access to Dublin Drive within the Danbury Subdivision, and not have the lot subject to the covenants and restrictions of the neighborhood. As you may recall this property was added to the subdivision plat with the consent of the owner in order to among other things eliminate several zoning and subdivision violations including but not necessarily limited to a lack of frontage on a public street, access to the parcel via an unplated easement, and setback requirements for an accessory structure. Other issues are also present regarding access to this parcel including the construction ofa portion of the Cool Creek North Trail and the provision of a new access drive to the site within Block "B" of the subdivision. The following are items to be noted when proceeding with the project: 1. That access to proposed lot #55 is restricted to the existing ingress and egress easement to Danbury Drive until such time that said easement is vacated. Only upon vacation of this easement may a drive be installed within the proposed Block "B" for Lot #55 onto Laura Vista Drive as shown on the Secondary Plat and Construction Plans. The owner of the property identified as "Lot 55" is aware of this condition as they spoke at and attended the public hearing and granted their consent to the filing of the Primary Plat application. 2. The Department of Community Services will not grant approval of the Secondary Plat without one of the following: A deed restriction on Block "B" stating the an access drive and/or gate shall not be constructed on Block "B" until such time as the vacation of the Page 1 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571-2417 ...... / ' u u easement noted in item one above is complete or that this condition of the Primary Plat approval is satisfied prior to approval of the Secondary Plat. 3. Removal of Lot 55 from the Laura Vista Subdivision Primary Plat would require a replat application and public hearing in front of the Plan Commission. It is not likely that the conditions as noted above would change. Removal of the lot from the Laura Vista Plat would require the creation of a new subdivision of one lot. 4. No Building permit could be issued for construction of any type on Lot 55 due to the technical violations noted at the time of the Primary Plat review process until the Secondary Plat is recorded. 5. The Covenants and Restrictions do not have to apply to all the lots within the subdivision. Lot 55 could be excluded form the covenants intended for the rest of the lots within the subdivision and even platted as a separate section. Our approval of the secondary plat will be forthcoming upon adequate resolution of the items listed above. Sincerely, .. ~ Jon C.

Alternative E Alternatives E and G b h provide a similar function of avoiding residential impacts along existing US 31 corridor in the comparing these two alterna' es, Alternative E ge y has greater overall impacts than Alternative G. It also has the hi est number eam crossings (15) and the second greatest impacts to wetlands ( 11 acres) and Ii ar of streams (7,780 feet) when compared to all of the other preliminary alternatives. .tion, unlike Alternative G, Alternative E would not provide the added benefit relieving affic congestion on SR 32 through the Town of Westfield, which ~es potential Sectio 4(f)1106 sites. Therefore, due to greater overall impacts and ~ of traffic congestion relief on R 32, Alternative E. was el.iminated in favor of Alte~G. As for Section 4(f) impacts, both lternative E and G would result in potential impacts to the same site (i.e., Lindley Farm), Alternative H ~1ternative H would require the m?st right-of-way (516 acres) and result in the greatest impacts to agricultural land (327 acres), prime farmland soil (301 acres), linear feet of streams (9,130 feet), floodplain areas (80 acres) and wetlands (21 acres)" More specifically, the majority of the wetland, stream, and floodplain impacts are related to a longitudinal encroachment along Cool Creek between SR 431 and l51st Street. This area has been identified b the US Fish and .... Wi 1 e ervlce as a sensitive ecosystem that should be avoided. It also may be potential ha Itat 'lII""1' - - - for the federally endangered Indiana bat. With regard to Section 4(f) impacts, Alternative H and G would result in the same potential impacts to Lindley Farm. However, Alternative H would result in greater impacts to natural resources than Alternative G. ?his AR.el'1 /lIel~5 1'f6~ 5fl r/Lf(l.aP~ U/4I2,Jq tAsfG $fA.,O cll'';IS(J~ dr\lJ. -r/vL. setNel' 41'1d -i-~,'t cl~"f'e.,~ Ill,;",?

Between SR 431 and SR 38, a new alignment is proposed to the east of US 31. North of SR 32, the alignment matches Alternative G. Approximately eight miles of this alternative would be on new alignment. . The US 31/SR 431 interchange would be redesigned to provide all movements between US 31, SR 431 and 146th Street. Interchanges would be tentatively provided (locations remain under review and are subject to change) at 106th, 116t\ 126th, 136th, 161st streets, SR 32 and 1915t Street. A new interchange is also tentatively proposed at the northern terminus of this alternative to allow for full access to SR 38 and the unimproved portion of US 31. $,;,.;,., ~eCDs'(S~ Phase 1: Purpose and Need Traffic Congestion: Thi~ alternative would result in improved levels of service at Greyhound Pass and SR 32. Compared to the No-Action Alternative, the LOS at these locations would improve from F to D, meeting INDOT standards. Projected freeway levels of service range from A through D also meeting INDOT standards. Traffic Safety: This alternative will improve safety on US 31 by reducing travel demand on the non- freeway section and changing the facility type. Consistency with Transportation Plans: This alternative is consistent with INDOT's Long Range Transportation Plan for providing a "Statewide Mobility Corridor." However, neither INDOT's Long Range Transportation Plan nor regional transportation plans identify a new freeway facility offthe existing US 31 alignment. Based on the aforementioned findings, Alternative H meets the project purpose and need and was advanced to Phase 2 of the screening process. Phase 2: Environmental Impacts The potential impacts identified for Alternative H are presented in Appendix A, Table A-I and Figures A-I through A-4. The largest impacts to land use by this alternative occur to agricultural 35 US 31 Preliminary Alternatives Analysis and Screening Report ~31 r/ll'IIDUtmtnr PROJf.CT I w o I' land (327 acres). The majority of these impacts occur between 151 st Street and SR 38, where the alternative is located off-alignment. In addition, most of the agricultural land supports prime farmland soils (301 acres). The alternative would result in the displacement of approximately 36 single-family residences and 12 retail buildings. The majority of the residential displacements occur north of l46th Street and at the potential 136th Street interchange. Approximately 21 acres of wetlands would also be impacted. As for stream impacts, Alternative H would result in 12 stream crossings that would involve 9,130 linear feet of stream. The majority of the stream and floodplain impacts are associated with a longitudinal encroachment of Cool Creek between S~ 431 and 151 st Street. The otential cultural resource im act associated with this alternative inc ude five archaeological ~itpc li1l'~,1J nnp. p.ligihlp. historic sit~ (i.e., Lindley Farm). In regard to the historic site, no structures would be directly impacted, rather the direct impact would consist of land/property takings. As for public parks/recreational areas (i.e., Section 4(f) property), Alternative H would result in an aerial crossing of the Monon Trail between l36th Street and Rangeline Road. However, no property or right-of-way will be taken. Because Lindley Farm is an eligible historic site, it represents the only potential Section 4(f) impact associated with Alternative H. I I I I I I I Conclusion I Alternative H is being eliminated frnm fip;-rpr consideration based on a comparative analvsis of ~pacts with other altp.m::ltives that wpre gg'.T:!loR~pn to the Phase 2 screenin,g process (See Section - 5.0 - Preliminary Alternatives Eliminated from Further Consideration). -- I I I I I ,( '.~ .

Though not ground-checked, nor do they define jurisdictional wetlands, they are the industry standard when initially attempting to identify wetland areas. Wetlands identified in the project area are fragmented and rather small, primarily less than ten acres (Appendix A, Figure A-3). Most systems are categorized as palustrine, and thus not associated with a river or lake system, but ra~her dependent on groundwater or precipitation runoffto sustain their hydrologic regime. They vary from emergent to scrub-shrub to forested wetland systems. There are several small riverine wetlands that occur along Cool, Clay and Carmel Creeks near the southern limits of the proiect area. Typical vegetative species in the wetland areas include black willow, cottonwood, green ash cattails and various reeds and sedges. - - ~ 3. 7 Vegetation and Wildlife Habitat Wildlife habitats in the ro'ect area v and are constant! under ressure due to (sub)urban develo ment. These habitats include terrestrial ecos stems such as fallow fields, sma wooded lots and aquatic ecosvstems such as small wetlanrls, man-made ponds and some creek habl a . ,Elultitude of both plant and animal species can b~ fmmrl in the proiect area. Examples of typical ...animal species include white-tailed deer.. opossum, raccoons, skunk, rabbits, various smalf mammals such as mice anrl ntl,er rggentc:::, WPM hhlP nprnn red-tailed hawk, migrating waterfowl (e.g., Canada geese, mallard, etc.) ~d a variety of songbird specie.s. Aquatic habitats are home to species such as minnowc:::, ~l1nfish, turtles and various amphibians. Vegetative species inc1uae oak, maple and various species of pine and shrub. .. Aquatic systems have the potential for providing habitat for fish, invertebrate and mollusk species, however species quantity and variety may be low due to continuing disturbances. Additionall onl Carmel reek 0 I Creek a ear to be sufficient to rovide semi-suitable habitat for mussel 0 ulations. Due to develo ment in Hamilton County, especially near the U 31 co~suitable and high-quality habitat is limite and quickly being dIminished. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) specified that Bitternut Woods Nature Preserve, a state-dedicated nature preserve, is within the boundaries of the project area (Appendix C). This area, located northwest of the l06th Street and Spring Mill Road intersection, as detailed in the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database, contains two high- quality natural communities, specifically a wet-mesic floodplain forest and a mesic upland forest. Both are categorized as state-significant by the NHP. Species in riparian forest and forested floodplain areas along Cool Creek and Carmel. Creek include box elder, silver maple, sugar maple and Ohio Buckeye. 1 3.8 Threatened and Endangered Species Information about threatened and endangered species within the project area was provided by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) and IDNR (Appendix C). The USFWS II us 31 Preliminary Alternatives ~31 Analysis and Screening Report ~:U;~f~r'm'" I I I I I I I I I II I I I " I - I - I w o stated that the project ~ea is within the range of the federally endangered Indiana bat anF federally threatened bald eagle. There are no current records of Indiana bats near the project corridor, however, the streams in the affected area haVf'~ not heen !':urv~yed for the species. The USFWS indicated that there is suitable summer habitat for Indiana bats in forested areas along Cool Creek and possibly in the other riparian forest areas within the project area. Locally, there are multiple. records of this species in adi acent Marion County. including a location withi~n Iiiiles of the project area. It was also reported that there are no bald eagle nests or significant ~ habitat areas near the project corridor. According to the IDNR NHP database (January 31,2002), the Red Shouldered hawk, a state species of special concern, and the American badger, a state endangered species, have been reported to occur in the project vicinity, though these reports are 13 to 45 years old. No critical habitat for any threatened or endangered species, including the Indiana bat, has been identified within the project area. 3.9 Water Resources Surface Water Surface water features in the project area are primarily flowing water bodies including creeks and their tributaries, all of which are collectively contained in the Upper White River watershed. As indicated on USGS topographic maps, these water bodies include Lindley, Jones and Almond Ditches, Grassy Branch, Cool, Carmel, Williams, Henley, Elliot, Will, Clay and Center creeks (Appendix A, Figure A-3). There are no natural lakes in the project area. However, many residential developments and commercial/office complexes have man-made retention ponds for recreational, aesthetic, and water storage purposes. As indicated by the IDNR Division of Water (IDNR web site retrieval February 6,2002), use of surface water has continued to increase from 1986 through 1997, especially for energy production, industry, agriculture and public water supply. Little data is available on the water quality. Volunteer monitors have recorded partial results for only one site near Carmel High School in Cool Creek (Hoosier Riverwatch, retrieved February 6, 2002). Through the USGS Natiorial Water Quality Assessment (NA WQA), some regional information is available on surface water quality in the local watershed, though none on the specific water bodies mentioned herein. Overall, findings indicated elevated concentrations of pesticide contaminants were of key concern and that concentrations and types depend heavily on land use in the surrounding area (USGS website retrieval February 18, 2002). Groundwater Groundwater in the area is delivered from the White River Basin aquifer system. According to the IDNR, annual groundwater withdrawal between 1986 and 1997 has continued to rise for usage in energy production, agriculture, and public supply (retrieved February 6, 2002). Quality of this water in the watershed, though not necessarily in the project area, has beenmonitored by the USGS through 94 monitoring wells. Much like surface water, pesticides were of concern, though none exceeded any federal guidelines. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were also ofconcem as they were detected in over half of the shallow urban monitoring wells. These compounds, however, did not exceed federal drinking water standards. Nitrates were also detected in both shallow and deep wells, with concentrations in shallow wells exceeding federal drinking water standards. 12 US 31 Preliminary Alternatives ~31 Analysis and Screening Report ~b~f&lmfaT j , ,. -.

We are realistic and understand that this land will be developed some day and we see several positives with this development. 1. We support the residential use of this property, particularly in light of the Greyhound Pass commercial development. 2. We support the type of community proposed by Primrose Development. The empty nester community with an estimated target selling price of $350,000 per home will blend well with Foster Estates. 3. We applaud the plan to preserve as much of the existing natural surroundings as possible. This "open space" or Common Area is good for both our developments and also the City of Carmel. 4. We know the developer. Steve Schultz has an excellent reputation in the area and is a homeowner in Foster Estates. His partner, Will Wright shares the reputation for high quality work. Along with these positives we have some real concern about Laura Vista. 1. The developer has explained that the minimum cost of a home in this development will be $350K to $450K with the median being about $375K. The Laura Vista home values will impact upon the majority of the Foster Estates homeowners. The Foster Estates homeowners are requesting that the value of the Laura Vista homes be reflected in the neighborhood covenants i.e., percentage of brick exteriors, square footage of home, landscaping, etc. We request that the Plan Commission impose and insure those requirements that lead to quality home construction. 2. The developer has shown a common area between Foster Estates and Laura Vista. The Foster Estates homeowners request the Planning Commission require this common area be neatly planted and maintained during and after construction. To prevent additional back yard flooding situations, we also request that grading be done in this area to alleviate this problem. We are also concerned about the other common area. The Foster Estates homeowners request that a restriction be placed on the property Deed excluding other structures or commercial development in these common areas. 3. Most of construction traffic, as it now stands, will enter FE at Jason St and travel south on Jeremy Dr to Laura Drive and then west into Laura Vista. This is unacceptable to the homeowners adjacent to Jeremy Dr, Jason St, Hazel Foster Dr and Maralice Drive. The only acceptable solution is a temporary construction entrance dedicated to construction traffic. We have learned that Primrose has requested such a temporary construction access from Hamilton County. The route requested is along a frontage road adjacent to Keystone Ave, between Smokey Row Rd and the new development. We request that the C/Carmel assist the developer and the Foster Estates homeowners in jointly acquiring this temporary access. The City of Carmel is presently repaving our streets after 12 years. Should we be unsuccessful in securing a temporary construction access, the Foster Estates homeowners request the Commission to require that the developer keep the streets clean and repair damage done to the effected roads. We intend to meet with Primrose prior to the August 6th meeting. Thank you for the opportunity to present the homeowners side of this project. ~9a Albert Koeske Secretary Treasurer Foster Estates Homeowners Assoc. . 07/22/02 11:12 FAX u HAMILTON CO HWY. ~~~ Carmel DOCD o Igj 001/003 HAMILTON COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT July 22, 2002 Mr. AI Koeske 14208 Joshua Drive Carmel, Indiana 46033 RE: laura Vista Subdivision Clay Township '1,...~p e>' ....

Dobosiewicz Planning Administrator Department of Community Services City of Carmel One Civic Square Carmel, Indiana 46032 Mr. Dobosiewicz: Thank you for taking the time to meet with me regarding Laura Vista and answering my questions regarding rules and procedures for land development in Carmel. I have had a subsequent conversation with Jim White and Steve Shutz and gained further clarification and would like to voice my support for the project. As you are aware, I am the owner and inhabitant of Lot 62, 14286 Matt Street in Foster Estates; and will be directly affected by the development of Laura Vista. After reading the Development Report and conversing with Jim and Steve, I support the project as planned and am anxious for it to get started and finished. My dealings with these two gentlemen in their roles with Quadrant Development have always been positive. I have found them to be responsive, honest and sensitive to the quality and value of the homes in Foster Estates, and I anticipate they will be with Laura Vista as well. Due to a previously planned trip, I am unable to attend the Carmel Plan Commission meeting on July 16, but wanted to voice my support and have it included as part of the record of the hearing. . -Thanks again for your time and help. Best personal regards, Steve Scattaregia 14286 Matt St. Carmel, IN 46033 ~ METROBANK IKE G. BATALIS President and Chief Executive Officer Carmel Westfield N oblesville Fishers 317/573' 2400 10333 N.

Box 80451 Indianal)olis, Indiana 46280-0451 u u July 15, 2002 Mr. Dan Dutcher CARMEL CITY HALL One Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 ~ REUWfD t:'''_ 16 .., DOCS RE: Docket No. 81-02 PP; Laura Vista Subdivision (primary Plat) Dear Mr. Dutcher: I am a resident of the Foster Estates Subdivision and reside at 14490 Jeremy Drive. Foster Estates is adjacent to the applicant's proposed development. The purpose of this letter is to register my support for the waivers as proposed for this new subdivision and approval of the plat. The principals, Steve Schutz and Will Wright, of the entity seeking this approval are of outstanding character and possess exemplary skills in subdivision development. Other entities that they are involved with are good corporate citizens and I am confident they would conduct themselves likewise in this development. In fact, Mr. Schultz is a resident of the Foster Estates. It is not feasible for him to do anything that would hurt the residents of Foster Estates simply because he would be personally adversely affected as well. Concerns have been raised about construction traffic to and from the site. I, too, will be affected by this construction traffic. Since I live on Jeremy Drive, some of the construction traffic will be going right in front of my home. Unfortunately, that is the price we pay for living in a growing, vibrant community. The development of this site will have the same construction traffic and ongoing traffic impact as if this would have been another section of Foster Estates. It is only 54 more building sites adjacent to a subdivision that already has approximately 300 existing sites. Also, I believe that the housing product that is proposed for this subdivision is very desirable. The "empty nester" segment of our population will continue to grow as the baby boomer generation progresses to scaled down activities. This segment of the population tends to have above average disposable income and is willing to pay for high quality housing and the amenities that come with a development such as proposed. The developer has taken care to assure of a quality subdivision as evidenced by the materials filed with the plat petition. Additionally, all of the homes in this subdivision are to be constructed by the. principals of the development or other affiliated entities. Once again, these gentlemen are highly skilled tradesmen in the home construction industry. w (J July 15, 2002 Docket No. 81-02 PP Page 2 Finally, I believe the time is right and the product is right for this development. Please lend your support for ultimate approval of the waivers and plat, as presented. Ike G.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our concerns regarding this proposed section. We have lived in our home, which is adjacent to the above referenced property, for 28 years. We have helplessly watched local development consume and destroy valuable greenspace and wildlife habitat in the area. It is our opinion that, with the actual Monon trailless than one mile west of this proposed "shortcut", there is no legitimate reason to cut through a mature forest. This would endanger the habitat for many animals that have taken refuge in this remaining area. The trees that would be lost are irreplaceable in our lifetime. In addition, much of the proposed trail is located in wetlands. Further complicating the location of the proposed "shortcut" trail, is imminent construction of the north 431 exit ramp which would have to be crossed. The new 146th street bridge has a dedicated and barricaded bike/walking lane, which is in use, and adapted to, by the public. When one compares value received for this proposed "shortcut" to the potential expense and loss to C'.onstruct it, the proposal seems simply not justifiable. Secondarily, if our concerns are ignored, and this leg of your master plan is built, this will directly impact our access to our property, a recorded easement, which will also have to be crossed. Due to liability issues, we have had to maintain a security gate; this would have to be relocated between the location of the trail and our property. And there would need to be fencing erected along our property lines. Are you prepared to include this in your expense? Please reconsider your proposal for this additional walking trail. If you have questions regarding our concerns, please contact us.

I have addressed each of your items individually with a numbering system consistent to your comment letter. I. Signage examples and open space maintenance issues are being submitted within the informational brochures. An open space plan was submitted derming regions and type along with calculations; comments regarding those from Scott Brewer were revised based on written comments received at TAC. We are attempting to contact Scott to discuss further requirements. 2. Landscape easement was removed and sign placed outside of easements. 3. (a.-d.) All easements were revised. 4. Lot #54 (this lot is now lot 55 per other revisions); a. The adjoining lot line was moved to provide setback. b. Primrose has secured consent to include in plat, any required signatures will be addressed at time of secondary platting. c. Existing easement with instrument number was shown and labeled. 5. A 6' multi purpose path is shown connecting Vista Drive to the 10' multi-purpose path located northwest of cool creek. 6. Sidewalks were update to 5' and the general note for sidewalks was revised. Internal paths are shown at 6' and the path along cool creek is indicated at 10'. The 10' multi-purpose path was shown based on an interpolated sanitary relocation plan provided by City of Cannel Utilities. 7. Northern cul-de-sac on Vista Drive was removed and turned into a stub street. An additional lot was incorporated, please note lot count revised from 54 to 55. A revised application and fee will be submitted by Primrose. 8. Waivers a. Subdividing within Floodway. It appears that Lot 55 (existing lot) will have floodway and/or floodplain that will be subdivided to be included within the plat. There is a row of lots that abut Cool Creek which has mapped Flood zone, every attempt has been made to not subdivide within the floodplain. The floodplain was interpolated and provided by Miller Surveying. b. With the elimination of the cul-de-sac on the north side of Vista Drive and turning it into a stub street, will this waiver still be required? If a stub street is deemed a dead end street, then will an additional waiver be required on the south end cul-de-sac? c. Current open space width is 55', with a 20' easement. It's noted a waiver will be required. d. The remaining open space west of Vista Drive has been given two points of access via two 6' paths. Open Space was revised, only the buffer yard open spaces do not have two points of access. e. Noted. THE SCHNEIDER CORPORATION 12821 E.

Please be advised that this office will require the following statement to be placed on Site Development Plans and on Stonn Sewer Plan and Profile Sheets when construction drawings are submitted: . .. 'i. w w Mr. Brandon Burke June 6, 2002 Page 3 THE STORM SEWER SYSTEM SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED PER DESIGN SPECIFIED AND AS APPROVED BY THE CITY OF CARMEL ON THE FINAL APPROVED CONSTRUCTION PLANS*. DEVIATIONS FROM THE APPROVED DESIGN SHALL ONLY BE PERMITTED DUE TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR DIFFICULTY DURING CONSTRUCTION AND WILL REQUIRE PRIOR FIELD APPROVAL FROM A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CITY OF CARMEL IN ADDITION TO SUPPLEMENTAL APPROVAL BY THE DESIGN ENGINEER. AN EXPLANATION OF ANY SUCH DEVIATION SHALL BE INCLUDED AS A REQUIREMENT ON AS- BUILT/RECORD DRAWINGS SUBMITTED FOR RELEASE OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES. APPROVED DESIGN SLOPES IDENTIFIED AS GENERATING VELOCITIES OF 2.5 FPS OR LESS SHALL REQUIRE AS-BUILT CERTIFICATION AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION. *THE CONTRACTOR SHALL FIELD CHECK EACH SECTION OF STORM PIPE AS IT IS BEING INSTALLED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE DESIGN PLANS. 12. This office would prefer aligmnent of the tops of the inlet and outlet rather than inverts when possible. If it is not possible to align the tops of pipes, we would request the inlet pipe invert to be raised above the outlet pipe invert. 13. Do you plan to develop this project as one or multiple sections? 14. There appear to be two driveways for the existing residence on Lot 54. We believe the driveway into Danbury Estates is an existing driveway. . Is the driveway listed as "driveway by others" existing or proposed? . With this construction, will both driveways be maintained? . Will the driveway by others connect to the dedicated street? . Are you planning to incorporate a non-access easement into the lots adjacent to this driveway? We reserve the right to provide additional comments upon receipt of detailed construction drawings and drainage calculations for this project. If you have questions, contact Kate Weese, Mike McBride or me at 571-2441. ~ Dick Hill, Assistant Director Department of Engineering Enclosures Cc: M. Kate Weese, City Engineer (w/o encl.)
