MINUTES CITY COUNCIL StiPTCMI3ER 22, 2004 Snyider pointed out that the statutory deadline has been extended twice for acting on this play, and requested that the City act this evening so that they could begin grading the property. Snyder pointed out that the plat will comply with all the City's ordinance requirements. The changes proposed increase the cul-de-sac length and adjust lot lines. The City will still have to review and approve the Final Plat. Snyder felt that the adjustments being made were merely an engineering exercise at this point- Fahey agreed that the remaining issues could be resolved before the Final Plat. To address Mr. I{neeland's question, the City Administrator indicated that the developer would be responsible for sedimentation control during construction. After the development is complete and the developer is gone, then the City and the Watershed would be responsible. The Administrator pointed out that the developer would like to begin grading the property, but grading cannot commence until after the Watershed reviews the plat at their October 6°' meeting and issues its permit. The Administrator noted that the 60-day waiver signed by the developer rw~s through September 27°'- The Administrator suggested that the Council could call a special meeting for September 27°', and the developer could revise their plans and submit them for review at that meeting. Whitcomb noted that part of the reason for beginning grading this fall is to avoid having to grade in the spring when there is more potential for rain to wash sediment. Whitcomb indicated that if the Watershed issues the permit on October 6°i, they would like to begin grading on October 7°'. Whitcomb indicated that they had no problem extending the cul-de-sac to provide additional area for a pond along County Road B-2 as long as they were able to develop 12 lots. Whitcomb again noted that this lots will meet City ordinance requirements. The City Engineer stated that if the cul-de-sac is extended by 60 feet, it appears the County Road 'B-2 pond would fit while retaining the 12 lots. However, 1~e would have to review the impact on buildable area for each of the lots- Fahey suggested approval of the Preliminary Plat as revised subject to compliance with the l l conditions outlined by City staiTand subject to meeting all ordinance requirements. 131esener pointed out that the City will still have control as it has to act on the Final Plat. I?ngstrom asked the depth of the proposed ponds. Jim DeBenedet indicated that the eastern ponds would be 4 to 5 feet deep and would have 4 to I side slopes. i/ngstrom asked how run-ofTwould be handled from
