There was a discussion of Attorney Massey's letter in reference to Sections 6-32 and 5-28 of the Code of Ordinances. An ordinance is to be prepared to add to Sec. 6-32 which would exclude rural areas where there are no water mains, and that if any other cases come up they will be considered for a variance by Council on a case by case basis. This pertains to those areas not serviced by water mains. Another correction should be to require all developers to put in a loop system. Another item, Placement of hydrants now reads "In all other districts the nearest fire hydrant shall be not less than 300 ft. from street to roadway edge". This should be corrected to read - road distance from the house or building must be 350 ft. along the edge of the road and not 500 ft. in single family districts. There was discussion of annexation reserve areas, and this is to be researched and discussed at a later time.
