MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 23, 2002 RECOMMENDED 73Y THE CITY PI ANNER AND THE Pl ANNINC COMMISSION The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Fahey, LaValle, Scalze, Montour, Anderson. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Fahey felt that given the pipeline breaks that have occurred in this area, he feels the City is on the right track in applying its 50-foot setback policy to The Preserve development. Fahey felt that the Council should take action on the preliminary plat and approve the plat subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner, City Engineer, City Administrator, and the Planning Commission. Fahey noted that the 50-foot setback policy would also apply. Once approval of the preliminary plat is granted, the developers will have to make a decision as to whether or not they want to proceed under the City's conditions. Barbara Allan indicated that she was still seeking cla~~ification on the easement question. McDonell explained the content of some e-mail discussions, noting that Liz Babcock of Williams Pipeline confirmed that their easement does not extend from the Brausen property onto the Palmer property. Fahey noted that one of the recommendations is the requirement of title work to clarify the easement question. This detail will be clarified before action is taken on a final plat. Allan asked why the outlots are being eliminated. McDonell pointed out that the outlots will be incorporated into the developable lots. Easements will be obtained for the ponding areas rather than platting these as outlots. Allan noted that changes in the plat will have to be submitted to the Watershed for review. Allan noted the DNR protected body of water to the north of the development. Allan requested that this lake area be shown on the development plans. Scalze noted that the plat will have to be submitted to the Parks & Recreation Commission relative to the City's park dedication requirements. The City Administrator indicated that there have been some preliminary discussions of this development by the Parks & Recreation Commission, but agreed that the plat will have to be presented to the Commission for final action. Anderson noted that the preliminary discussions included access from the cul-de-sac to the wetland area for the possible improvement of a boardwalk into the wetland. Allan requested that the topography information for the development include the 968 elevation at the eastern edge of the property to reflect the 100-foot drop in elevation in that area. 16
