cussed together with other projects to be handled under the 1965 Motor Fuel Tax

Estate Manager of Centex Construction Company, Inc., enclosing a letter comparing
the cost of a 24, 15 and 12 inch sanitary sewer which would have served Centax
Construction Companyls needs in Section 12 as compared to a 24 inch and 21 inch
sanitary sewer which is required by the Village. The total cost of the smaller

- 2 - Reg. 1-21-65
Mr, Majoros said he and Attorney Hofert have discussed this and that perhaps
an agreement can be prepared for next weeRl s meeting. He said that his concern
at this time is that the 21 inch sewer will be extended an additional 1500
feet west along Devon Avenue eventually and if the agreeihent is prepared
now without this, it will have to be emended in the future. When the total
cost of the 21 inch sewer is firmly established, the total cost of the excess
capacity will be divided by the total future acreage to be served, which will
produce a cost per acre which can be used in pre-annexation discussions with
future developers who will want to use the sewer. This cost per acre will then
be refunded to Centex.
Mr. Majorca also said that the smaller sewer originally proposed by Centex will
adequately serve, according to Village Engineer E. N. Fletcher, the residential
Section 12, "Neighborhood 711, 40 acres south of the Hospital and 30 acres of
commercially zoned land south of the Grove Shopping Center.
The Clerk read a letter dated January 21 , 1965 from Mr. Stebbins of Centex
