The Community Development /Wlirector said after this evening, the IRiNlEP.0ra0t-
portion will be gone for the remainder of the year reducing the award Amoonis to
$10,000 per system. If the City is successful in receiving another grant from the
IRLNEP, the funding will not be available until fiscal year 2020. She asked what
50% match should offered in the City's RFP noting each property connecting to a
gravity system would incur a cost of approximately $5,000 and to connect to a lift
station with a force main, the cost would be $15,000 per property along with the ERU
assessment. The County estimates the ERUs on the remaining properties to be on
the low end of $170,000. She said the City's match would be approximately
$420,000 leading to her request for direction.
She explained other grants, such as DEP's 319 which favors 100% participation in
that the whole neighborhood would be expected to convert their system. The Health
Department's requirement to connect within two years after lines are installed, might
be considered in soliciting 100% participation.
Chairman Hill asked staff to provide information on what properties (commercial vs.
residential) are remaining, what grants might be available, and their requirements so
that Council may workshop this at the beginning of the December 1? meeting.
The City Manager asked Council to consider approaching the Legislative Delegation
in January for a legislative appropriation to assist with the conversions.
D. Being no further business, Chairman Hill adjourned the Community Redevelopment
meeting.

The City Attorney read the applicant's request. There was no ex -parte communication to
disclose by the Board Members. The City Clerk swore in those who were to provide
testimony.
Philip Desch, 909 Landsdowne Drive, said he was looking for a variance from the code to
allow a 6 foot fence to be constructed 12 feet from the property line.
The Community Development Manager stated Exhibit B explains what Mr. Dasch is
requesting and the City's main concern on a corner lot is the visibility from the intersection
and from other driveways when backing out. She said staff did review the criteria and feels
this is a special condition since it is on a collector street. She said since the property abuts
the rear drainage ditch, it would provide for a 30 foot visibility triangle from the main
intersection and visibility triangle from other driveways.
She said Mr. Desch's request came right when the fence and wall code revision began; at
which time, the Planning and Zoning Commission determined this portion of the code should
remain unchanged and each case be reviewed however Council may want to consider the
merits of this section during the later code revision discussion.
Chairman Hill noted the line of sight could change if Barber ever became a boulevard or
four-laned. The City Manager said it appears that that the road would have to expand to the
west.
In response to Mr. lovino, Mr. Desch said he had a dog and planned to have children. As
allowed by Code, the fence could only come out an additional 1.3 feel.
There was no one to speak in favor or against the request.
The Community Development Manager asked that the finished side of the fence face Barber
Street.
MOTION by Mr. McPartlan and SECOND by Vice Chairperson Kinchen to approve the
variance request from Mr. Desch.
