#8709 Consideration of Vacating Utility Easement in Lot 4, Block
3, Dickey Second Subdivision
Council action is required for vacation of all Public Utility Easements through passing of an
Ordinance. The existing Public Utility Easement was established when the Dickey Second
Subdivision was filed. The easement is not needed nor is it anticipated that it would be
needed in the future. The current owner would like to make improvements to his property in
that area and would like to have the easement vacated to put in a fence. The Public Works,
Utilities and Building Departments have reviewed and approved the request. Filing and staff
costs should be less than the $75.00 application fee charged for Vacation of an Easement.

#8710 Consideration of Creating Sanitary Sewer District # 504,
Dale Roush Subdivision and Dale Roush Second Subdivision
(Indian Acres)
Council action is needed to create a sanitary sewer district. If created, a notice will be mailed
to all affected property owners and a 30-day protest period allowed. A petition was received
on September 17, 2001 signed by seventeen residents of this area requesting the creation of
the District. It has been 18 months since a district was tried and failed for this Subdivision.
Council creation of the District is recommended. A ten (10) year assessment period was
requested by the residents. The financial implications are minimal. The majority of the costs
will be assessed to the benefiting properties. The alternative is to deny the creation of the
District.

#8711 Consideration of Vacating Utility Easement Located in Lot
10 and Lot 11, Commercial Industrial Park Subdivision
Council action is required for vacation of all Public Utility Easements through the passing of
an Ordinance. The existing Public Utility Easement was established when the Commercial
Industrial Park Subdivision was originally filed. The developer is in the process of
subdividing the area into a new subdivision named Starostka Subdivision. The existing
Public Utility Easements do not match the lot lines in the proposed subdivision. New
easements are being dedicated to replace the easements that will be vacated. The new plat
will be before the Regional Planning Commission on January 9, 2002 and before Council on
January 22, 2002. Filing and staff costs should be less than the $75.00 fee charged for the
Vacation of an Easement. There are no alternatives being recommended because this
vacation conforms to the new subdivision as submitted, will allow the new lots to be
developed and should be approved so the property can be developed.

Item F4
#8712 Amendment to City Code Restricting Firearms Discharging
in Zoning Jurisdiction
During the past several years, the City has received an increasing number of complaints
concerning persons, generally goose hunters, discharging firearms close enough to structures
to cause the property to be struck by falling pellets. While most of the complaints have come
from hunting activities in the fields south of Stolley Park Road and west of US Highway 281,
there have been complaints made concerning deer hunters shooting along the Wood River
east of Shady Bend Road and shotgun discharges immediately south of Rainbow Lake. Neb.
Rev. Stat., §37-523 prohibits hunting any wild bird within a 200 yard radius of an inhabited
dwelling or livestock feed lot. The National Rifle Association (NRA) minimum standard for
shotfall zones for shotgun competition is a distance of not less than 300 yards. Because the
pellets used for waterfowl hunting is substantially larger than that which is used for shotgun
competition, 300 yards should be regarded as an absolute minimum safety zone. Accordingly,
in order to enhance public safety, we are proposing an amendment to the City Code
prohibiting discharging firearms within 300 yards of any inhabited structure within the
zoning jurisdiction.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:

of Grand Island was requested. The property is located South of Stolley Park Road, and West of
Stuhr Road in part of the SE 1/4 of 22-11-09. No public testimony was heard.
Public Hearing on Request of Heartland Insurance Pool, Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Salvage Yard Located at 1203 East Airport Road. Craig Lewis, Building Department Director,
reported that Heartland Insurance Pool Inc. requested a conditional use permit to operate a
salvage yard at 1203 E. Airport Road. This is the location of an existing conditional use permit
which allows for the storage of disabled vehicles, issued in 1997. The permit issued in 1997 had
three requirements:1) perimeter fencing shall be a minimum of eight feet in height and visually
screen the stored vehicles from public view; 2) vehicles stored shall be organized in rows, with
no stacking; and 3) landscaping shall be provided and maintained along Airport and St. Paul
roads. The property is currently zoned M-2 Heavy Manufacturing, that zoning classification
requires operations such as this to obtain approval from the City Council in the form of a
conditional use permit. Approval appeared reasonable, with the same restrictions applied and the
fencing modified to include eight feet in height along the south side. Mike Merrill, President of
Heartla nd Insurance Pool, Inc. was present. Oscar Bredthauer, 3230 North St. Paul Road,
questioned the burning of vehicles and the physical appearance of the salvage yard. Mr. Merrill
stated that they would not be burning vehicles and that an eight foot fence would surround the
salvage yard. No further public testimony was heard.

constructed over 20 years ago. A termination pole had to be moved. To make sure the pole

The contract for this work was originally awarded in 1994 for an amount of $19,400. In

Nebraska and several of the affected cities. After a number of studies by CDC, National
Science Administration, meetings with EPA, and a lawsuit by the Nebraska Attorney
General, EPA continued enforcement and the City must submit the OCCT Study by
December 31, 2001. The OCCT Study is now completed.
The original contract amount in 1994 was $19,400. When the project was placed on hold in
1995, $8,700 had been expended. CH2MHILL has spent $11,100 on the OCCT project since
it was recently restarted.
Original Contract Amount $19,400.00
Expenditure prior to project hold $ 8,700.00
Expenditure to complete project $11,100.00
Final Amount $19,800.00
Change from original contract $ 400.00

#2002-8 Approving Change Order #1 - Engineering Services
Contract for a Water System Engineering Evaluation with
CH2MHill
CH2MHILL was awarded an engineering services contract to do an in depth evaluation of
the City water system. The project included hydrological evaluation of the system with 20-
year growth projections, review of current and pending regulatory impacts, and development
of a system computer model. That project is now complete.
The service contract for this project was priced with the consulting firm making a
presentation to the Council of the results of the engineering study. However, the regulatory
arena is quite complex for water systems and the Department felt that Council should be
advised of the wide variety of possible regulatory impacts prior to the study being finalized.
The consulting firm made the first presentation to Council on March 20, 2001, prior to study
completion. The final presentation of the completed study was made on November 13, 2001.
CH2MHILL is requesting compensation for the extra trip to Grand Island and presentation.

Item G10
#2002-9 Approving Deferral of Assessments for Agricultural
Property Located Within Sanitary Sewer District #493
Council action is required to approve deferral of special assessments. The Council created
Sanitary Sewer District 493 on June 13, 2000. The District completed the 30-day protest
period on July 20, 2000 and was continued by Council on August 15, 2000. Three owners
have requested agricultural deferral of special assessments for Sanitary Sewer District 493:
Eric Pollock for part of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 14-11-10
lying west of Potash Subdivision; Rudolf F. Plate for part of the Northeast Quarter of the
Southeast Quarter of Section 14-11-10 lying north of Potash Subdivision; and T&E Cattle
Company for part of the Southwest Quarter of Section 13-11-10 lying south of Faidley
Avenue. The three pieces of real estate are located within agricultural use zones and are
used exclusively for agricultural purposes. The recommendation is to approve the requests
for deferral of special assessments. The Districts passed the protest period with the
agreement that staff would support agricultural deferments when the issue came before
Council. During the time of the deferral, no principal payments would come due, and no
interest would accrue on the assessments. Assessment payments would begin when the
properties are developed or are no longer eligible for an agricultural use deferral. The
alternative is to deny the requests and require assessments to be paid according to the normal
schedule.

#2002-12 Approving Funding for Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Day
The 2001-2002 Annual Budget, Public Works Department, Solid Waste Division, includes
funding for cleanup activities. In September, 2001, the Clean Community System conducted
the annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day in Hall County whereby paint, oil,
anti-freeze, batteries and other household hazardous wastes were collected. The cleanup was
partially funded by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality
(NDEQ). Clean Community Systems will be submitting an application to the NDEQ for
funding assistance of this event for 2002. Because a commitment of matching funds from the
community will strengthen the application, Clean Community Service is requesting that the
City of Grand Island provide a commitment of $3,000 to support the hazardous waste
collection project. A similar request is being made to the Hall County Board of Supervisors.
Approval is recommended.
