MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 24, 1985 PAGE 2 Councilmember Chenoweth stated that he felt there should be an agreement protecting the City in the event the Hawkins property be developed in phases. Mayor Eggert commented that the developer and City Attorney could draft such an agreement assuring the City will not fall short of funds. At 7:30 P.M. Mayor Eggert opened the Public Hearing to Establish Tax Increment District No. 3 within Development District No. 1 and presented the Affidavit of Publication. Councilmember Chenoweth stressed the fact that the City should include the new homes on Lindig in the district to generate as many funds as possible in the event the laws change. There being no others wishing to be heard Mayor Eggert opened the public hearing at 7:35 P.M. Mayor Eggert then moved, seconded by Councilmember Chenoweth, that Resolution R-85-38 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-85-38 RESOLUTION ADOPTING AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ADOPTING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN, DECLARING PUBLIC PURPOSE, REQUESTING CERTIFICATION OF ORIGINAL ASSESSED VALUE, PROVIDING FOR FILING, ADMINISTRATION Engineer Schunicht explained the proposed improvements for storm drainage in the University Grove area and referred to his feasibility report dated October 25, 1984. Mayor Eggert then read into the record a letter from Veryl Andre, 2140 Folwell, that Council consider using some general or contingency funds to pay a portion of the cost of improvements, and a letter from Jack Miller, 2111 W. Hoyt, stating that he felt the drainage problem was due to inadequate maintenance, not a capacity problem, and requested that Council schedule another hearing. Council discussed the three possible solutions as presented in the 1984 feasibility report and the fact that the bid for the project came in $6,000 below the estimated cost. Howard Morris, 1587 Burton St., asked if he is to be charged for the improvement and how the drainage area was ascertained. Engineer Schunicht explained that the Morris lot is on the drainage divide and he will check further into the matter. Mr. Morris was of the opinion that the flooding was a maintenance problem. Engineer Schunicht agreed that maintenance will help but stressed the fact that the storm system presently in use is a three year system and should be a five year storm sewer system. Steven Eggimann, 2121 Folwell, felt that the problem was only at one end of Folwell (Andre's property), but if there is a sewer design problem he would not have a problem with the project. He did express concern over the the being installed between 2121 and 2129 Folwell due to the limited space, and inquired about the trees in that area. The Engineer explained that the construction would be limited to the City right-of-way, and there would be two trees destroyed, both of which are on the City right-of-way. Mr. Eggimann said he has not had problems in the ten months he has lived there and asked that Council try the alternates first. Council discussed at length to what extent repairs should be made, and determined that Item 1, Hoyt Avenue, berm, and Item 2, inlet upgrading, be awarded with the bid. 9~ HEARING ON TIF DIST. 3 IN DEVELOP- MENT DISTRICT 1 RESOLUTION R-85-38 FORD STREET IMPROVEMENTS LETTERS FROM VERYL ANDRE, 2140 HOYT, & JACK MILLER, 2111 HOYT NOTED HOWARD MORRIS, 1587 BURTON STEVEN EGGIMANN, 2121 FOLWELL
