plat of Sauer's First
Subdivision
Gentlemen:
My recommendation that the property designated as Jefferson
Slopes be annexed according to the plat submitted and that the
proposed plat of lands within the City to be designated as Sauer's
First Subdivision be accepted, is based on my understanding that
the Common Council desires only to give public notice of the fact
that provision should be made for surface water drainage in
connection with the lands involved and that it is not the
intention of the Common Council to require a legal commitment
which would be binding upon the owners of the land and require
the owners to make definite provision for this surface water
drainage. The letters attached to the recommendations are not,
of course, binding upon the owners.
Very truly yours,
R. V. Ehrick
City Attorney"
