• • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council January 6, 1982, Page 2 to tie onto the sewer line when it becomes available. Danny Barfield: Mr. Mayor, may I address the Council, please? My name is Danny Barfield and I represent Hardy Interests, Inc. which is the owners of the property in question. We under- stand there is a problem or there could be a problem with the sewer on the property which is the subject of the ordinance just read. My client is prepared to submit a letter tonight in .which reads that it is their understanding that a sewer line is soon to be available to the property. At the time that it is made available we would definitely hook up to the sewer line. We would present that to the Council at this time. We understand that the sewer line is across Fairmont Parkway would require a core and things, but still that would be bet- ter for everybody concerned on that side of the street to proceed and to develop that side of the street. We don't want to put a septic tank in there either. I think there have been some problems with it, and knowing the problems we have here we would like to make our intentions known; that when the City makes the sewer available and that line is on stream with the new City plant, we intend to hook up to it.

If in fact it occurred, and we knew--ah--we don't want to spend the money for a septic tank--if we knew that line was going to be on stream within a reasonable time, we would wait for the opening so as to hook up to that line first. Malone: Mr. Barfield., are you aware that the business estab- lishment next door to you has its restroom doors locked be- cause of a septic tank system that does not work? Barfield: Yes, sir, we understand that, and that's why we are prepared to spend a little. extra time. Now, we could not say that we are going to wait forever, of course, for the City to open that line. It might come about that we would have to build a septic tank, strictly from an economic standpoint. At • the present time, knowing somewhat that the line is there and will be in use soon, just what we could find out. We haven't
