X AUDIENCE COMMENTS
A. Mr. Rasmussen stated that he felt that it was not so late in the year as
to hold up approving:th(s subdivision, as previously stated in the meeting,
because he feels that he can get alot done now, if the subdivision was approved.
He wanted to know why this plat was denied when another was passed in the
same general area. Mr. Erwin stated that his only concern: was hooking up
to water, the last word he had heard was that the City was not hooking up
additional %waterlines within the Island Lake area. Mr. Rasmussen stated that
Mr. Beukers would hook him up to their waterline. Mr. Erwin stated that if
Mr. Rasmussen had this in writing, he would have approved the preliminary
subdivision. Mr. Holt stated that he still was concerned with the sewage in
this area and that he would like a written. statement from the Borough Engineer,
as to the suitability of the ground. Mr. Simmons feels that the plat meets the
code legally. Mr. Gariss stated that he had contacted the City Engineer and he
had recommended that the subdivider put in a low pressure sewer system and
asked how Mr. Rasmussen felt about it. Mr. Rasmussen stated that he felt it
was a good idea and that every subdivider in the Borough should put one in, but
r— that he didn't have that kind of money and neither would anybody else. Mr.
Ecklund stated that he had subdivided the plat according the code and that
he had answered the Planner's questions noted on the plat. Mr. Gariss noted
that the subdivision ordinance stated i acre not 20,000 square feet. Mr. Ecklund
stated that this was the Borough's discrepency not the subdividers. Mr.
Simmons moved that the Commission reconsider their earlier action on approving
the subdivision. Mr. Holt wanted to know what had changed from previous
action taken. Mr. Heglin seconded the motion. Mr. Heglin would like to ask
the Borough Engineer how tie felt. Mr. Simmons moved to amend his motion

Crestview Subdivision, seconded by Mr. Heglin. Mr. Jones, Borough Engineer

stated that when the Borough changes their discrepancy on the 20,000 square
