[Vision2020] More New Multi-family Units

[peterson@moscow.com]

Hi,
I'm feeling perplexed, not about the heavy stuff like the meaning of 
life...but about life in Moscow.  I can not understand why a major 
property owner can be getting a subdivision plat for 20 new 12plexes 
run through City Hill without the Water Department taking care of run 
off of fresh water from Well #8 in the NW corner of Moscow.  You 
see every time that city well kicks on it pumps up about 1500 gallons 
of pure fresh drinking water and then lets it drain down a ravine into 
a storm drain below.  The course that the 10,000 year old water 
follows is exactly where Robert Peterson Jr. of Lewiston is having an 
extension of Baker Street built as we speak.  He's just going to 
provide a culvert for the water as the City lets it slip through unused!!
Another weird thing about this is that Peterson's subdivision plan is 
still only 1/2 way through the preliminary stage of getting the City 
Council's OK!  So why is he being allowed to bury the fresh drinking 
water before he even has on ok to go ahead with his unnessary high 
density subdivision!?  If anyone knows the public's input isn't needed 
by the City please let me know!  If you want to let the Coucil know 
how you feel; they'll be a hearing on this plan on Monday night July 7 
in the Council Chambers at 7:00.  However, the P and Z hearing 
started about 1.5 hours after it was advertised to start and some left 
before the hearing even started!  (Lawyers: Is it legal to start a 
hearing at the time it was supposed to be without even mentioning it 
to those present or for the record?)
