John Howerton of Overland Park, Kansas presented his plates for self-service station. He did not have the elevation on the plans. The Planning Commission had approved the plans subject to Don Jack's plan inspection. This matter was discussed further however the plans were not approved by the Board. Mr. Jack advised that there were several plans coming to the Planning Commission without a complete set of plans and the Commission would recommend that these be approved subject to his plan check. This was causing some confusion because the person applying for the building permit would not always bring the proper drawings and information to Mr. Jack and it was time consuming to get all the material in forhim to check prior to the council meeting. Mr. Jack was working on some new forms to follow in order for a person to present his plans for a building and these should be adhered to. Mr. Jack also apologized for the reason that he had completely forgotten about getting a waiver from Carolina Renner for going on her property, east of the City Hall. Mayor Czamanske and Mr. Jack went over to talk to Mrs. Renner and explained the situation and it now appeared that understood and was not opposed to this work being done. It was also agreed that the City ~ho~ild write Mrs. Renner an apology. Kennet~i Kennyon advised that some people were putting up a barn near Merrimac and Northwood road and thought they did not have a . Permit. Mr. Jack would give Goldie Cox the appropriate wording to write to the Water Company advising that should they build any water mains in the City, they will need to get a permit and the City wild like to have a drawing of such plans. Reg. Meeting Aug. 21, 1973 - Page 2 Don Jack informed the Board that he heard from Andes and Roberts and they inquired whether or not ~e City would not take more of the streets into their project, and maintain same. It was recommended that the City not take over the undedicated portion of the street, Don Jack reported that Hillside, South Drive and Merrimac streets have been finished, and advising that the rock was rather dusty and not the grade that was to be put on. Don Jack also informed the Board that he had been checking into some material which might be placed on the areas of the black top streets which are cracking badly and rather than thkerout a large portion of the street, there is a material that can be used which would save some money on the High Drive Project. Phillips Petroleum Company manufacturers the product and sells it, it is placed on the base and protects the base from cracking further. This materia co t approximately 2.20 per,~~C~~a,.n.,d~and the amount the City would from the High Drive Px~e-7t®e would be approximately $550.00 and this will be afaster job and also neater. The Board were in accord with making this change. Another matter which was brought up was the insurance on the project. Messrs. Jack and Witt both a~jreed that the way the City pays for the material and the work is not until the material is delivered and used and there is no need for the Builder's risk insurance. This would save the contractor almost $600.00. The Board was also in accord with this. Don Jack advised that he took it upon himself to have an electrical inspector to inspect the E1Chapperal building which was rebuilt and it appeared that everything was in order. Mayor Czamanske adl¢ed Don Jack to talk about the Solvent Company. Mr. Jack advised that to begin with Mr. Hecker was going to cement the area within the dike and then seal it with a substance which would not absorb the spillage. Mr. Jack he never heard further from Mr. Hecker. Now the Solvent Company has put more tanks in and the area is still not sealed. There is some lime stone on the ground, and you can see where there is spillage. This matter was discussed and the Board thought that Mr. Hecker should be told hour'to correct the situation and he probably would do it, another alternative was to put more lime stone on the ground, however, the Board did not wa~nµtf~~15~~ t. pol tion o cam,. into t ~~ree~ Don Jack also advised that the All State building had changed the foundation from what they had o t it plans and he would like that the building be a proved by tengineer before they can receive occupancy permit Reg.
