EASEMENTS IN LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 40
Mr. Nejed1y, Counsel for the District, stated the District is being required
to obtain a number of easements in Local Improvement District No. 40 because it
was necessary to stay out of the State Highway right of way.
He suggested that, since the majority of the property affected is commercial,
cast iron sewer installations be made so property owners may construct buildings
over the sewer lines, thus avoiding costly acquisitions of easements, and estimated
the saving would be approximately $20,000.00.
Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager, stated that, until this time, the only cast
iron installation he has considered and pe~mitted was that on the Markey property.
President Fisher stated that each individual easement should be considered
separately.
