side of Lot 6 , the North Easterly portion of Lot 7 , adjacent to 2875 E. Hansen Ave., and the
property to the South end of 2875 E. Hansen Ave .
Acting Chairman Hart inquired about Lot 7 , and whether they are planning on splitting the lot.
Mr. Ellsworth clarified that at this point in time they are not looking to split it.
Acting Chairman Hart asked if the new sewer and water lines they are bringing would be
adequate if Lot 7 was split. Mr. Ellsworth noted that they could only split the lot into two , and
that the utilities would be adequate for expansion.
Mr. Ellsworth noted that if this needed review by Public Works Director Zech Prouse , he would
be willing to work with him to make any necessary changes. He noted that the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) only requires 6 feet of separation between lines if they are service
lines and he would be willing to add two extra feet if that would be preferred. Ellsworth would
prefer a six foot separation.
The Commission discussed future potential fencing issues.

Acting Chairman Hart suggested that City Council approve the adjustments to the water and
