REPORT OF VILLAGE ATTORNEY JAMES LYNDEN . Utility Lines Maintenance Lynden referred Councl I to his letter of 8/6/76 re utility Lines Maintenance, advising that Council's concerns, expressed at meeting of 6/21/76. re City's policy and responsibi iity to residents and liability for damages are regulated by Ordinances 49 (Section 10) and No. 103 (Section 1.8); suggested that adoption of further policies is superfluous. County Road F Improvement Lynden reported that he met with George Rei lIng and has reached accord re the water main easement on the Rei ling property; discussed drain- age, but has not reached an agreement on that easement; probably will propose a "hold harmless" agreement and obtain a waiver of trespass and construction easement to enable drainage construction on the property. REPORT OF PLANNER RICHARD FREDLUND Case No. 76-3. Northwestern Col lege - Special Use Permit for Fine Arts Building Fredlund explained that Northwestern College needs a Special Use Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed Fine Arts building for three reasons: I. Addition to a col lege campus. 2. More than one building per site. 3. Height of building - over 35' maximum. Crichton asked If Special Use Permit requested is for this one build- Ing or for the entire campus? Fredlund said the Special Use Permit Is for the Fine Arts Center; there Is not an existing Special Use Permit for the campus; campus with Its existing buildings are there because they antldate the Zoning Ordinance. Crichton asked if this Is not the time, then, to obtain a Special Use Permit for the entire campus, including this building. If approved by Council?
