PUBLIC SESSION (Open to the public)
Item 1: Discussion with Connell Development regarding inquiries made
by Mitsubishi Corporation.
Present to discuss this item with the Council was Mr. Mark Connell. Mr.
Connell informed the Council that it is anticipated that a contract
would be in hand by July 31, 1986 with closing on the land purchase on
the proposed land purchase by August 31, 1986. The main problem area to
be resolved is the design of the drainage ditch and the cost of
constructing an open ditch with a reinforced concrete pile up channel as
opposed to a ditch constructed with box culverts. If the open drainage
ditch was constructed it would be designed for maximum flow. Following
discussion on this item, Council Smothermon moved that Connell
Development be given permission to use the open drainage designed with a
fully lined reinforced concrete channel in place of a box culvert with
the stipulation that the land required for the open drainage channel be
provided by the Mitsubishi Corporation with any cost savings realized in
the construction of an open drainage ditch as opposed to a box culvert
design being passed on to the Mitsubishi Corporation.
Additionally, this open channel will connect into the box culvert that
connects on Beltline Road as currently designed. Councilman Morton
seconded the motion which carried unanimously with Mayor Pro Tem Ware
and Councilman Wilkerson, Morton, Smothermon, Cowman, Wolfe and Stanton
voting in favor of the motion.
The meeting was then adjourned.
