Mr. Allen noted there was a drainage tile coming out off of Pawnee Court which would empty onto the subject property. He stated that water connected with water coming off of Cherokee and then flowed in a northwestern direction. Mr. Jorgensen stated he believed phase II would pick that area up.

He recommended angling the dumpster similar to the dumpster adjacent to the manager's apartment. He recommended installing concrete pads in front of the dumpster. Mr. Bunn noted the City now required the concrete pads in front of the dumpsters. He recommended Mr. Estes contact Greg Fields, Sanitation Superintendent.

PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT Mr Franklin asked the heights of the walls at ingress/egress. Mr. Estates stated he believed they would be four feet. He explained the developer wanted the walls to sweep up and have a sign on them. Mr. Franklin noted normally they did not allow anything higher than 30 inches within 25 feet of ingress/egress but he did not believe this would cause a sight problem. Mr. Franklin also stated the Fire Chief had required the adjoining apartment complex to install an asphalt drive behind the apartments. Mr. Bunn stated Mr. Jackson had reviewed the plat and did not mention a drive.

He further stated any water or sewer lines coming into the project would be public lines and would require a 15 foot easement. He stated that would also require a separate instrument.

He stated he did not see any way he could extend sewer to the site and planned on using a septic system. Mr. Bunn explained it was a city ordinance that in order to have a septic tank the property had to be at least one and one-half acres. He further explained Mr. Meinecke would either have to get sewer or purchase at least another half -acre. He also noted the City would still have to consider whether they would approve a septic tank with sewer readily accessible. He explained he would either have to purchase an easement to run the sewer line or bore under the highway.
