Yes, I remember what occurred. Our Einstien fuel tank supplier for the
Yard misread the code and thought the diesel tank could be 7.5' from the
property line so it was constructed 7.67’ from the property line,
however, in reality it had to be 15’ from any building. Since the
Hitch Crafter’s building next door is farther than 15’ from our diesel
tank, the Board of Directors was apprised of the situation and
determined that if and when a building next door was built within 15’ of
our diesel tank, we will remove or relocate the tank. You can pass that
on to Dave Hollister. He was kept in the loop but it appears he has
forgotten our decision; please see the attached letter to him, which you
can forward to him. The letter refers to recording a Covenant but the
Board opted for just keeping the item in the records and not recording a
Covenant.
If any questions, Dave can approach Scott.

We will get other proposals.
Regarding the existing diesel tank, This is what I gather after talking
with David Hollister : the plans for the diesel tank did not get routed
to fire for plan check, The city is blaming the diesel tank contractor.
Typically it is the city's responsibility to rout plans. I'm not sure
exactly what happened after that other than according to Hollister it is
still an open matter. I think Rob Hamers may know a little more in
detail as to the events.
Rob, Do you remember how this was left?
Thank you, Bob

Bob,
I think you forgot the attachment. Agreed. If their price is over
$5,000 than we need to try to obtain at least two more bids. Please
proceed on obtaining two more bids.
I will search my files for the diesel tank, but do you recall what the
issue was? Was it a setback issue?

Attached is the proposal for the electrical engineering for the diesel
generator, this is from the firm who took over the firm who engineered
the original building, considering the price I think we should get
alternate bids. One of the design build contractors showed their
electrical engineering price of $6,800.00.
We also spoke with David Hollister, CM Fire. He will allow the generator
to be 5' from the prop line and 2'-3' from the building as long as the
diesel tanks are under 275 gallons, Caterpillar and kohler are under
that, and Cummins is at 344 gallons.
Hollister also mentioned the existing diesel tank issue is still
unresolved, Our understanding was it was resolved but David says he has
nothing in writing as to the resolution, Do you have something we can
send him?
Thank you, Bob
