Mr. Carr told Council he has been working with Dale Johnson and i~2r. Smith, Engineer for Owasso City Council August 15, 1978 Page Two the school, and D. M. Sokolosky, developer, and they have to this point provided all necessary information required. i2r. Carr sug- gested platting requirements possibly could be waived although reg- ular platting procedures should be followed. Mr. Carr further ad- vised he has been informed by the utility companies that they have reviewed platting and are satisfied with all aspects. Mr. Carr said the City's interest is in street dedication and water and sewer easements and the City should require all information pertaining to same. Mr. Carr advised he had talked with Broken Arrow to see what their policy is regarding filing of plats for schools. He was in- formed in some instances plats are filed and in some instances they use the procedure Mr. Carr recommended. City Attorney advised City to require a plat regardless of whether it is filed with the County of Tulsa.

Ayes - Messrs.

The owner of the property, H. D. Hale, was present and reminded Council this was actually a compromise zoning, rather than his original preferred zoning. i2r. Hale further showed Coun- cil a portion of the property with a 30 foot easement in which he would add another 30 foot if City can acquire 60 feet on the East side of Garnett, in order to construct a four-lane road. Approxi- mately eight citizens from the Ator addition were present to pro- test any further development in that area, feeling that would make their present low water pressure problem even worse. Mayor Williams attempted to explain to the citizens that construction and addi- tional usage of water in that area has nothing to do with their low water pressure. He further explained we now have our City Engi- neers working on a project for pressure reducing valves that would correct the problem. The citizens demanded a time period they could expect this project to be completed. Tom Baines telephoned John Edelman, City Engineer, at his home and was advised of the follow- ing information which Mr. Baines informed Ator citizens and which they appeared to accept: Bids for pressure reducing valves will be let within thirty days and Ator should have adequate water pressure within sixty days.
