The property owners granted said <br />easement to the City at no charge. <br />Related to the easement was a request by the property owners <br />for a single sewer unit to serve their existing residence located <br />generally in the east half of the property, and a request for the <br />future ability to subdivide the property leaving 1 acre with the <br />house and a 2 acre rural unsewered lot to the west. <br />The City adopted Resolution No. 1178 entitled "Determining <br />that One Sanitary Sewer Service Will Be Provided For The Property <br />Located At 1385 Fox Street, And Determining Standards For Any <br />Future Subdivision Of The Property".
