MINUTES OF THE STUBBS BAY SEWER HEARING — NOVEMBER 20,••1991 Anderson agreed that Eastlake Street is probably the worst spot on the lake. He offered that most homes in that area are only 400 -500 s.f. and could never house more than a couple of people. He felt there may be a cheaper option.

She felt that perhaps the project should be spread out further to defray the cost. Gaffron agreed that you can pick out any 2 acre lot in the area and argue that they do not need sewer.
