Manager Benson informed the Board that the City Council deferred hook-up to city
water for Robert Meisterling at 12550 72nd St N. The agreement reads: The developers
are allowed to maintain existing well on lot 1, block 1 and drill a new well on Lot 2
block, 1 and thereby not connect to the city water system at this time. The obligation to
connect to the city water system is deferred until development or re-subdivision of the
remaining property within the plat, and the construction of city water system is designed
to serve the entire development. Therefore, lots 1 and 2 must connect to the water system
within one year of the system being available in adjacent street. After discussion, and
based on the City Council approval on motion of Commissioner Nyberg, duly seconded
by Commissioner Speedling, all voting “Aye”, the Board agrees to defer hook-up to the
city water system.
