a Specific Use Permit for the route of the Amoco Pipeline's Proposed

newspaper in order to hold the hearing as soon as possible. Notice for
the meeting setting forth the reasons for the emergency was posted at
11:45 o'clock A.M. on February fourth, meeting the statutory requirements

Copies of the letter dated January 28, 1974 to Mayor Lowe from
W. W. White, Project Manager for Amoco were passed out by the Secretary
and discussed, as was the map submitted by Amoco. Clyde Raney asked if
the map included profiles. None were located.
MOTION WAS MADE by Raney, seconded by Shore, that a hearing be called
at the earliest possible date, February 28, at 8 P.M. to consider a
Specific Use Permit for the hereinbefore mentioned pipeline route.
MOTION PASSED unanimously.
Further discussion followed. North noted that the City would need
legal calls before the ordinance is passed. She would like to see the
blanket easement through the R. Hoppel survey defined as an easement with
a finite width. Raney questioned whether the company would be willing to
do this.
Ken Toon, Water Superintendent appeared to inform the C.ommission of
the location of the main water line in Quaker's Landing. He stated that
he had informed a young man from the oil company of the location of this
line, which he feels is being crowded by the proposed pipaine and would
very likely be dmaged when the pipeline was dug. Bost felt that there
would be problems if the waterline were within three feet of the pipeline,
which appears possible.
Raney has a copy of the Dow pipeline proposal and also took copy #1
of 2 (3?) of the Amoco proposal..
There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting was
adjourned at 8:45 P.M.
