The City is currently installing sewer and water in this area and with the coordination of stubs and accepted development pattern an important matter. Questions were raised on the feasibility of fronting lots 1 through 17 immediately onto County Road 81. After some discussion on the different aspects of streets running through the parcel, Chairman Thorkelson asked that Mr. Grassini and staff work out alternative development patterns. Next item on the agenda was a public hearing for Lawrence Schweich. The subdivision hearing was called to order at 7:50 PM by Chairman Thorkelson. Planner Graser gave a description of the parcel involved describing the location, sewer and water availability and park plan. Mr. Graser also pointed out that staff recommended paving 150th Street when Fairlawn Shores Trail is paved. The existing sewer and water will be of a capacity to handle the new subdivision. The hearing was then opened to the public. Mr. Robert Holler asked where the drainage for the storm sewer is going. He also wanted to know if the subdivision would have lake access. Mr. Graser explained the drainage would follow the path it always has and that the subdivision would not have lake access. Harry Nystrom asked where the access to the park would be. Mr. Graser explained that there would be two accesses, one would be in the form of a 30' easement on the east side of the park and the other would come from Fish Point Road. Harry Nystrom asked about lake rights for the subdivision and was told by Chairman Thorkelson that the subdivision plans showed no lake access therefore there would be none. John Titus asked what the plans for the park would be. Bill Mangan, Park Director, explained that it would be mainly a large, open area. The level area would be utilized as a ballfield and skating rink. The intent for the west access would be a green belt, with a possible THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY walkway and /or bicycle path M Mr. Robel asked what the lot sizes would be and what value of homes would go in. Mr. Schweich explained that the would be 85 to 94 foot lots and the homes on Fish Point Road would mostly be tuckunder. Mrs. Don Voight asked how far back from the street the home would be built. Mr. Schweich stated that the ordinance is 25 feet but on that corner, which is a blind corner they would probably consider more, probably about 40 feet. He also stated that they would be built into the hill and as far back from the road as possible to try and eliminate any drainage problem. This way there would also be less on street parking. Mr. Harry Nystrom stated that he thought the developer and City staff had done a good job on this parcel and he would like to compliment everyone that worked on the plan. Robert Holler asked if the storm sewer were big enough to handle the capacity of a new development. Horst Graser stated that there would be a sewer pipe of approximately -. 40 or 48 ". Mr. Schweich stated that he had dedicated land to the city for a storm sewer in the past and they should not have any problem with this. Mr. Bill Mangan, Park Director, th•;;n explained that with grading that will be done after and during construction, the park dedication is acceptable. Mr. Nystrom asked if there would be a curfew in the park and Mr. Mangan explained that there was a 10:00 curfew and no a4eheHo } ie- beverages were allowed in the park. xtoxi tt" Mr. Schweich stated that there was a problem in that area now with motorbikes but possibly if a chain was put across the entrance to the park this would eliminate the problem. Mr. Robert Holler asked if the storm sewer were of a capacity to handle the new subdivision. Mr. Graser stated that he was not prepared to answer this question. This would have to be done in studies after the preliminary plan is approved. Mr. Bill Mangan, Parks Director, expalined that with grading during and after construction, the park dedication is acceptable contingent on lots 12 and 19 being eliminated. Commissioner Johnson asked if an easement would be needed through lot 3.`° -% Graser stated that a small, rambler type home could be built with no variances. -2- Chairman Thorkelson asked if there would be any covenants in the subdivision. Mr. Schweich stated no, he does not believe in them. There was some discussion on lots 1 and 2 and if the street were allowed to continue there would not be enough room to have 2 lots back to back. Mr. Graser stated that the street could not go all the way through - there is not enough room. There would have to be a cul de sac. Mr. Schweich stated that they are going to try to bring sewer and water to these lots and these two lots would be the last to be built on. Staff would agree to this if lots 1 and 2 are not developed until water is available in the road and that the City not be responsible for the maintenance of said easement. Mr. Robel wanted some assurance that when the construction began, he would not have problems with runoff in his yard, which happened in the last sewer and water project. Mr. Graser stated that each builder is required to post a $100.00 bond on his building permit and if there is any problem the builder will forfeit this bond and the city will charge him to alleviate any problem which exceeds the $100.00 bond. Motion was made by Cavill to approve the subdivision as presented, seconded by Speiker. City Manager McGuire then asked if lots 12 and 19 were included in the park dedication. Mr. Schweich stated that he would square off the point on Lot 19 so that it would not go into the park. Harry Nystrom then asked how large the parking lot would be. Mr. Bill Mangan replied that it would hold about 10 cars. Upon a vote taken motion carried and the public hearing was closed.
