OLD BUSINESS
REQUEST FOR SEWER RELOCATION, MR. AND MRS. E. R. JEROME, JR.
Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager-Engineer, read a letter from Mr. E. R.
Jerome, Jr., dated February 13,1967, and presented a map showing the easement
on property at the corner of Brook Street and Dewing Avenue which they are
requesting be relocated.

Mr. Jerome stated that the heirs of Mr. Newell Wilson, who granted the
easement, wished to develop the property further and the easement in its
present location interfered with the planned development.
Mr. Jerome recited figures showing an increase in taxes to be received
by the County if the property were to be developed as planned. Mr. Jerome
requested that the sewer be relocated at District expense.
Member Mitchell pointed out that the present problem was created not
from the location of the easement but by development of the property after
the easement had been granted.
Member Roemer stated that the District has no power to relocate sewers
with District funds.
President Gibbs stated that there appeared to be no reason why the present
owners could not relocate at their expense.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Roemer, seconded by Member Mitchell,
that the request of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Jerome, Jr. to relocate sewer in easement
at the corner of Brook Street and Dewing Avenue, Lafayette, at District expense
be denied. Carried by the following vote:
