Utility Lines Underground graph 9.121 of the Municipal Code to

area. The adoption of the ordinance at its first presentation was discussed,
Trustee Hearn stating the new Municipal Code should be as complete as possible..
Trustees Schleicher and Wetzel expressed opposition to the passage of ordinances
at first readings, since it was in the public interest that residents be given
an opportunity to know about a; proposed ordinance. It was pointed out that,
while in most cases, installation of utilities underground was no more costly
than overhead installations, subdividers whose plans were completed under the
existing ordinance might be subject to additional costs without prior notice.
President Whitney stated that in general he was in agreement with the requirement
for a second reading, especially in the case of complex ordinances, but felt
it would be better to include this ordinance in the Code now being printed.

Re: Clavinia Sub. recommending approval-of the plat of'Clavinia
Subdivision Unit #l. Further discussion was
had on the proposed ordinance to require installation of utilities underground.
It was pointed'out that underground utilities would be required in the remaining
units of Clavinia Subdivision, and for esthetic reasons, it would be better to
require uniform installations. Trustee Schleicher suggestffd that in fairness to
Mr. Valenti, the developer of Clavinia Subdivision, the plat be approved "as is"
and an attempt be made to get Mr. Valenti to see the advantages of underground
utility instal.tations in the whole subdivision. Trustee Schleicher then moved,
seconded by Trustee Wetzel., that the Board accept the recommendation of the Plan
Commission. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Mandler, Schleicher, Wetzel (3)
Nays: Hearn, Lindemann (2)

a letter from Mr. Valenti, agreeing to the underground installation of telephone
and electric services as set forth in the ordinance.

Trustee Hearn having left the meeting.
Deny Walker Rezoning The report from the Plan Commission was read,
Lot 11, Hovland Sub. recommending denial of the petition of Mr. E.
Sumner Walker to rezone Lot 11, Hovland
Subdivision. Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Mandler, that the Board
accept the recommendation of the Plan Commission and the petition be denied'.
Mr. Walker was present and urged the Board to rezone the subject lot to
permit development similar.to that across the street and other areas on the
perimeter of the Hovland Subdivision, and asked that full improvements be constructed
by special assessments, in order that the acre lots be rezoned and subdivided in
conformity with the area. It was pointed out the proposed special assessment
improvements for the Hovland area were minimal, in order that costs would be low
enough'.to maintain acre lots, without undue hardship to the owners. Mr. Walker
stated full improvements were constructed on Willow Avenue and only the.lot fronting
on Willow would be built on at this time.
Motion carried unanimously to deny the petitioned rezoning.
President Whitney suggested that Mr. Walker attempt to get the adjoining
proprety owners to agree to full improvements on Laurel Avenue inasmuch as full
improvements were constructed on Willow Avenue, and his proposal with respect
to the resubdivision of Lot 11 had merit in consideration of this improvement.

Lots 8,9,10, Hall & Osterman Sub. Commission recommending denial of the
