MINUTES City Council April 25, 1989 properties would be landlocked. Collova felt that the praperties should be assessed, pointina out that this has been past Cit,y policy. At this point, Fahey opened the meetinca to comments from the public. Don Pierce, Iona Lane resident, was concerned with the drainane and how run-off will qet to Round Lake. Pierce was also concerned who would pay for storm sewer improvement. The City Engineer reported that he is recommending that storm sewer be extended, and he is assuming that the cost would be borne by the developer. Pierce asked the size storm sewer planned. The Cit,y Enc~ineer• r~eplied that he has not determined that detail as yet. Pier~ce pointed out that the size stor~m sewer will deter•mine the cost and size of the easement that is necessary. Pierce was also concerned that the developer would build the retail center first, with run-off directed into the pond and that storm sewer would not be extended until the residential area was developed. Fahey nointed out that if the project is approved, it will be with the under- standin~ that the entire development noes in at one time. Pierce reported that there is some 24 inch pipe in the area, and Pierce felt this was too small to handle the r•un-off. Pier~ce also stated that he wants the stor•m sewer• installed befor•e the development is completed. Fahey suqgested that the plan will also require approval of the Watershed, and the City En~ineer ac~reed. Fahey stated that the project would be subject to all these details beina worked out. Pierce felt the developer should be required to purchase the bacl< lots of the County Road C properties. Pierce was concerned that the rear lot line for these lots be the same since there is a small drainage ditch in this area and a cir•ainage easement would be necessar•y along the back lot lines. Collova pointed out that r•ight now no lots splits ar~e beinq r•equested for those properties, and the Council can address that issue as the prroperty is divided. The developer's engineer anpear•ed before the Council and descr•ibed how the devel oper• i s pr~oposi ng that the pr•operty wi 11 dr•ai n. The engi neer• poi nted out that how far the storro sewer is extended beyond the property will be the decision of the City Enqineer~, and per•haps will be a City pr~oject. Pierce again stated that a 24 inch pipe will not be adequate. Fahey commented that the Council will take note of Mr. Pierce's concerns. Page -11-
