Town and he will be attending the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on Thursday. Mr. Glovier
stated that he has received a few comments back from the Town after their first review of the final plat
and they are very minor changes and they will be addressed very soon.
Director Carr asked Mr. Glovier if he is the only engineer working on this project . Mr. Glovier stated that
he is not and that his firm, The Wallace Group and CP&Y, Inc. are working with the Town on this project.
He said that other engineers involved include Scott Wetzel, P.E., Adam Marsh, P.E., and Bob Wallace,
P.E. RPLS, President of The Wallace Group.
Director Thomas stated, "I believe we have addressed all of the Town's requests submitted to us prior to
last Tuesday's council meeting. By the way , for those that do not know, Kevin Glovier of The Wallace
Group is our Project Manager for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and he's got over 33 years of
experience of working with municipalities on projects of this nature . Now look, as he has just stated, as
you have heard, we have received a few more fairly minor request since last Tuesday night that Kevin
has told us about and these will be addressed just as soon as possible. I would like to also point out that
we actually used a civil engineer to develop the waivers that are coming to P&Z for their review on
Thursday night and will go to council for their review on August 11."
Director Carr asked if the District needs to wait for P&Z and council to take action for us to respond to
the Town's comments on the final plat. Mr. Glovier stated that is correct because we have requested
variances and if we are granted the variances it will eliminate most of the comments. Director Carr
stated that the Board will then have to wait until after the August 61h Planning and Zoning meeting and
the August 11th council meeting to take any further action. Mr. Glovier agreed .
Discussion only, No action taken.
3. Consider and take appropriate action regarding item(s) discussed in Executive Session.
Director Hase stated, "after receiving advice from legal counsel, we pray that the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Town Council will approve our requested waiver so that we can continue to
provide high quality services and protect the health and welfare of our customers.
