5/1,/84 Page -10- Administrator Wurl 5tai:ed he felt we were being set-up and reii~erated first o~f all we wanted to know specifically what the request is. What werE, they asking the City for? A 3/4" watE.r tap or a 4" fire line, this has never been clear? Mr. Silverstein stated that the reason it wasn't clear is that Mr. Trousil had not hired a consultant and he didn't think the definition of what was required was clearly set forth. Whatever the language is, Mr. Trousil wants to sprinkle his building. Mr. Wurl inquired who is requiring him to do i~his? Whose language was he trying to accomodate? Mr. Silverstein stated no one is requiring than. If the City would grant water - if it ]zas to be a tap or has to be a fire line, whatever it takes to operate a sprinkler system to his facility. Adm:inistrator Wurl stated that before Council can take any action he thought they need to know specifically - are you going to put up the money for the outside fee for a 4" fire line. Mr. Silverstein stated if the City requires that - yes. Mr. Wurl stated that presently we do not have a provision for a 4" fire line. His concern was that we are laying out something here that we really don't know what the council is addressing. Motion to Table the Request Mayor Meier moved that this item be tabled until more discussion is held with the City Attorney and Director Karl Kasch. Council- woman Morris seconded the motion. Councilman Leary Stated that are a lot of facts that won't change, i.e. the property is not in the urban services area; .that the facility is on land that is designated in our Comprehensive Plan as open space, and it is outside our City limits. Mayor Meier commented that if Council chose to grant or deny the request he would like the reasons to be specifically spelled out for legal reasons. This was his reason for moving that the item be tabled. Councilman Leary requested a recommendation on this issue from the City Attorney.
