Mr. Sawyer presented a report to the Board by Mansuer Steele regarding setbacks on curbs for Main Street Project, etc. The report will submitted in narrative form.

Mr. Herbert Hale appeared before the Board requesting a water tap on the railroad r3.ght-of way at the end of Broadway. He wants to convert the facility to an office and storage. Mr. Groth advised that we could only authorize a water tap for the property for Agricultural use, as property was current7,y zoned as such. In order for hi~. Hale to use the property for offices and storage, it would have to be rezoned for Industrial use. The proposal would have to go through the Owasso Planning Commission, and then to the City Council for final approval. Mr. Hale explained that the site would be used for a cement mixing plant; Mr. Groth advised that the matter would have to be discussed with the Board before a final decision could be made. Mr. Hale then questioned the $1 sewer assesment in regard to multi-group dwellings.

Owners would then be billed $1 per occupancy. Mr. Evans so moved; seconded by Mr. Henson. Ayes: Groth, Evans, Henson, Stamper. Ntr. Hale questioned that portion of Atlanta Street between 6th and 7th Streets, which was near his home in relation to the D1ew Street Project.
