line increases to a 16-inch line 280 feet east of South Dakota Avenue.

this property.

system. Examination of this collector has shown that capacity
problems exist. i..`

subdivision or site plan approval, the City will determine who is
responsible to correct the capacity problems. One option may be that
this developer may have to share in the coat to correct the capacity
