The Vote: Unanimous Ayes COMMUlVICATIONS (Coiitiriued) ` McDonald Mortuary Chapel - Protest re sewer and water charges ` Councilman Denny. ab`stairied from discussion and voting on this item. Attorney Richard�Asbill appeared on�behalf of his client, Rudy Balma, objecting to the sewer and water charges levied against McDonald's Mortuary Chapel in the amount of $1778. 66. Mr. Asbill summarized his client's objections as follows; Owner does not conceive this to =be a new use as the property has been connected previously for such services. Mr. Asbill referred to the easement given to the City for sewer purposes by th�e former owners of the Redding Cemetery and stated that in consideration of this easement they were given the right to hook into 'the Continental Street sewer and water system. 'It is the owner's contention that the granting of the easement to the City gives the owner a vested interest and thus the owner is not liable for sewer and water connection charges. Mr. Asbill noted that Mr. Balma had not been billed for these connection charges until 90 days after ground had been broken for the project and� a building permit issued by the City, and that the original amount ��y billed ($2612. O1) liad been reducecl t`o $1778. 66. Dick Smart, Architect for 'the project, confi:rmed Mr. �Asbill's statement that the historical' practice was not'to charge where a connection already existed, and also spoke about the delay in notice of the charges. City Attorney Murphy took the position that the charge is proper at.this time and place and indicated that the reduction is due to � the Department of Public Works applying the City Code language which provides that a connection charge can be calculated on a logically divisible portion of�large lots or acreage�. The Depart- ment of Public Work's determined that the logical method of � arriving at a charge was to use the Mortuary building`structure ` together with the frontage devoted to required off-street parking. Mr. Murphy reviewed the Agreement between the City of Redding 94 and the former owners of the cemetery and said that staff takes ' ` the position that the $165. 00 paid to the former owners, together with the other considerations mentioned in the�agreement, was the total consideration for the easement. It was also brought out that the City granted the cemetery the right to hook in for use by the cemetery office only, not!.�}.mortuary some distance away. Councilman Fulton stated he did not feel Council was properly prepared to make a decision on this matter at this time inasmuch as considerable background material was not made available to ' Councilmen until this evening. MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Doherty that the matter be tabled until the meeting of May 2 and that additional information and a map be furnished to members of Council prior to said meeting. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Denny abstaining. , PUBLIC HEARING - RZ-9-66 - Grange, So. Market and SP R. R. � The hour of 7:30 P.
