CORRESPONDENCE FROM AND TO JACK BUCHTER, ARCHITECT, HE ORINDA PŒT OFFICE SEWER SERVICE Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager-Engineer, stated that on July 24,1961, tentative approval had been given to connect the post office site to the Orinda Highway Sewer subject to certain corrections on the plans submitted by Williamson & Vollmer Engineering, Inc. On November 7, 1961, tentative approval had been given to plans submitted by Coleman, Pinson & Coleman with a form letter of approval dated November 8, 1961. ~ Mr. Horstkotte stated that on November 29,1961, he voided the approval for connecting to the Orinda Highway line and required that connection be made to the Jack Snow line to the Safeway Store. His reasons for this change were set forth in his letter dated January 4,1962, to Jack Buchter, Architect, in answer to his letter dated December 27,1961, setting forth certain questions which he wished answered. Mr. Robert'H. Bolman, an associate of Mr. Buchter in the post office building, stated that in the latter part of 1960 they started making plans for the post office building and consulted with the District as to the proper floor level for gravity flow and, after it was determined, the floor level was established at the recommended level at considerable expense. Upon receipt of the November 8,1961, letter of approval for sewers to the Orinda Highway, they proceeded with the project. Later in November, they were informed they could not connect to the Orinda Highway line but would be required to use the Jack Snow line serving the Safeway Store. They came to the District office and discussed with Mr. Horstkotte the reasons for the change. Mr. Jack Buchter, architect for the group building the post office, stated that, in good faith, they came to the District to work out their sewer problem. At considerable expense and going diagonally across valuable property, sewer plans were finally completed; then the sudden change. ,..... Member Gibbs asked Mr. Buchter if they had knowledge of the Snow line in July or early November, to which Mr. Buchter answered "No". In answer to the question, Mr. Horstkotte stated the Snow line was com- pleted in 1959. The Members of the District Board and Mr. Horstkotte discussed with Mr. Buchter and Mr. Bolman other properties in the area and where they would connect. Mr. Horstkotte stated that the District Board could give permission to connect either way, but to connect to the Orinda Highway would be against his advice. 01 02 62 1.52 Mr. Horstkotte stated that the rebate payment for connecting to the Snow line could be paid on each parcel as connected, such as the 36,000 square foot post office site, not the immediate payment on the ultimate area to be developed. AUTHORIZATION TO REWCATE SEWER IN CARMEL DRIVE, WALNUT CREEK Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager-Engineer, stated that beyond the end of Carmel Drive (a part of the old Walnut Creek sewer system taken over by the District) it was discovered recently there was no easement and an apartment had been built over the line with another apartment planned for the same area over another part of the line. Mr. Horstkotte stated that the responsibility for relocating the sewer was being worked out with the City. He stated that the City was lowering Carmel Drive and it was important that the District relocate the sewer in Carmel Drive prior to its being paved.
