The property may have an abandoned well that should be sealed and taken care of by the property owner. At this time, a neighbor in the vicinity is making it difficult to get utilities into the development area. For future development, the city would like to have utility stubs provided to the adjoining property which is landiocked and has no access to city services.

Steve Ingram recommended that DIP pipe be used for utilities having to cross the lot line for future connection. CASE PP98-14 (Hidden Valley) and rezoning ZA98-15. Councilmember Wolcott expressed his concerns with the city dealing with retaining wails, preferring to adhere to the 60-foot right of way for ease in snow removal and other needs.

Standing water under power lines is not a good place for ponds when repair crews need to work on them.
