OLD BUSINESS BONNIE BRAE SEWER EASEMENT PROBlEM Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager-Engine~r, stated that Dr. En~elbert was objecting to the sewer line on his property because he had planned a swimming pool close to the property line as a joint venture with his neighbors. . Mr. Horstkotte also stated that a petition had been received from neighbors of Dr. Engelbert requesting that the sewer be relocated to serve their properties. Mr. Horstkotte pointed out, on a blackboard diagram, that the property owners who signed the petition would be better served by existing lines installed in the Bonnie Brae Subdivision arid a line that would eventually have to be in- stalled in Tiegland Road. Mr. Horstkotte stated that the relocation of the off tract sewer as suggested was not feasible from an engineering standpoint. Dr. Engelbert pointed out, on the blackboard diagram, the location planned for the swimming pool, stating that at present the pool was planned to be loca~ed on his property close to the property lines of his neighbors for easy access, but it was possible that the pool would be located over the property lines.

Mr. Horstkotte stated that this could be taken care of by installing'a bolted-down manhole cover. The Members of the Board infonned Dr. Engelbert that it appeared the sewer line would have to be installed in the general location as presently planned anè that, if the Doctor would give the exact location of the pool, the line would be located to avoid the area. Mr. Horstkotte, upon being questioned about the time element, stated that a final determination as to location should be made in about thirty days.
