This would make the lowest bid �28,515.00. There was discussion among the council. It was acknowledged that our budget only allowed $24,636.00 for this project. The council directed that the Treasurer endeavor to finance the balance of monies needed to complete this overlay. Mr. Sparrow advised the council they have 30 days from today in which to decide which bid, if any, to accept. The next order of business was a letter dated January 31, 1967 directed to the council from Gordon Schroeder requesting that the town exercise their police powers to keep THZi wa er ran owners on N.

Mr. Schroeder platted Cove View with four lots. Dr. Walters and Dr. Wright who are not part of this plat live west of the platted property and have a 12 foot easement bordering Cove View that leads to their properties. Mr. Schroeder was required under the town platting rules to dedicate 20 feet of easement road along his plat. He did this and built the road according to town standards. When the road was completed he presented Dr. Wright and Dr. Walters with a bill for their share of the new roadway. Since they have Onot paid, he has made the request as stated above.

His answer was that the dispute was a private one and that the town should not become Involved nor should It abet or aid any obstruction of the private easement lane. xr. Schroeder then asked if the town would agree to his fencing part of the easement so that the Wrights and Walters could only use their 12 foot easement and Mr. Schroeder would then give the town a key to a gate opening this to the 20 feet of easement when it was needed by the town. This would then take care, he felt of his commitment to the town of a 20 foot easement. Mr. Schroeder was told that he should not construe this conversation to mean that the town would agree to this key arrangement but that he might rewrite his letter and when it was received by the council it would be again forwarded to the Town Attorney for his opinion. 3.
