cost projections from Ford Engineering for the drainage problems on South Main St.. Haeckerville Rd.was
planned and budgeted for FY 97-98,but S.Main was not,and the budget will not accommodate both. Even
improving the bar-ditch on S.Main would be too expensive to do at this time. Council decided to follow
through with the Haeckerville Rd.repair,with the understanding that it will also need a seal coat,and
review the City's street repair priority list at the next workshop. Bob Glisar motioned to have Potholes
PLUS repair Haeckerville Rd.for the bid amount. Gail Douglas seconded. Approved.

the plat,on condition of LOMAR and engineer approval,but denied the request for a setback variance from
25'to 15' on four lots. Mr. Greg San Marcos explained his need for the variance on certain lots that are
shortened by cul-de-sacs,but do not widen out in the back. Following discussion,Council decided to
approve the plat as approved by P&Z,with the understanding that Mr. San Marcos might still address P&Z
with his explanation,and request setback approval on a lot-by-lot basis. Bob Glisar motioned for approval
of the plat as approved by P&Z. Chuck Ridge seconded. Approved.
