Manager Evans stated as instructed by the Council, the Consulting Engineer has investigated the construction of sanitary sewer only for portions of the Beam Avenue project. As indicated in the attached correspondence, the alternatives investigated involve substantial cost and result in assessment rates that do not appear feasible. Investment of such sums to serve the limited number of houses that currently exist does not appear appropriate, There are no firm development proposals for the area. In addition, past policy has been to require complete upgrading of streets and utilities before subdividing. Thus, sanitary sewer alone would not necessarily open the area for additional construction. It is recommended the City not proceed with any improvements at this time. b.

The following area residents expressed their opinions and concerns regarding the proposal: Mr. Manke, 1210 Beam Avenue; Mrs. Marilyn Vars, 1140 Beam Avenue; Mr. Voya Piletich, 2130 Arcade Street; Mr. Patrick Keene, 1190 Beam Avenue; Mr. Dennis Zahn, 1166 Beam Avenue; Lynn Firestone, attorney representing Mr. Piletich; ' Mr. Doyle Biggs, Guldens Supper Club; Mr. Harvey Zuercher, 2866 Maplewood Drive. d.
