small for the distance from the highways they are to be placed.

are larger than 300 square feet; on the larger bill boards say 14' x
48' then they should be 6' apart.

May 3, 1977
The public hearing concerning Environmental aspects
of the Facilities Plan.was called to order at 9:00 p.m. on
May 3, 1977, by the Mayor of Riverside, Mr. E. H. Young, adting
as chairman.
Those present were: L. Rodeberg, D. Brenner, F. Best,

Betty Burr_h and Don Jack.
The secretary of the Board of Alderman, Irene Paulhe,
read the Notice of the Public Hearing and the list of recipients
of the notice.
Mr. Donald Jack, City Engineer, outlined the major
items of proposed construction. He pointed out that the
plan proposes to eliminate an existing lagoon presently seEVing
Ridgewood Estates and that no treatment plant is proposed
to be constructed. All effluent originating in Riverside would
be discharged into existing Kansas. City, Missouri sewers and treated by
Kansas City, Missouri. Several existing tight .lines in Riverside
would be eliminated thereby ridding the City of pollution:.. Mr.. Jack
said all the above, plus elimination of 99% of all existing septic
systems, were excellent points in .favor of improving the environment.
On the negative side, Mr. Jack said that some habitant would be disrupt-
ed, some trees would be removed, two pump stations would be installed
and some small temporary soil erosion would take place during con-
struction. Mr. Jack concluded, that in his Apinion, the implementation
of the facilities plan would enhance the environment.
The Chairman asked if the public, or anyone else, had any
comments to make on the environmental aspects of the Facilities Plan.
There was no opposition expressed to the sewers relative to any
environmental impact. No person present in the audience nor member of
the board expressed any feeling of adverse environmental impact by
virtue of the proposed project.
A general discussion of the Facilities Plan ensued.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
