Gerald,
I got a call today from a contractor looking to bid on a sewer lateral project at 1441 W Main (Dale Newcomb’s property). He was asking about what planning approvals would be required for this project to proceed.
First, I’m not sure what the piece that they need from planning would be. Mostly, I wanted to check in on what the backstory is here because the game of telephone from Dale through the contractor seemed incomplete. I know he (Dale) is looking to sell the property and Al Borromeo (next door) is one of the prospective buyers. Am I understanding correctly that he will be required to connect prior to sale or just generally as part of the annexation process? If the buyer is Al, it seems like would make more sense to connect to his line after the sale rather than go all the way back into the riparian zone to the Bear Creek line.
