MINUTES CITY WUNCIL JULY 25, 1990 suggested that at the time of final plat the City would know more about the drainage issue. Fahey asked if storm sewer easements should be shown on the plat. The City Attorney replied that these easements should be shown on the final plat. Chapman pointed out that the drainage area that should be considered begins at the St. John's Church property and includes about 20 properties fronting on Little Canada Road. Chapman felt that the preliminary plat can be approved at this time assuming that drainage issues will be resolved before construction begins. Chapman stated that water from the Swanson property will not cross Little Canada Road to Schletty Drive. Fahey asked if Chapman was proposing storm sewer on the north side of Little Canada Road to Edgerton. Chapman replied that he was not, but was asking for preliminary plat approval as well as consideration as to how the City will address drainage. Chapman stated that they are proposing run-off from the Swanson property will be directed to Edgerton and Little Canada Road. This City must decide how to resolve the drainage issues, and the Swanson property will share in the cost of the solution. Fahey pointed out that the Code requires a developer to contain and remove run-off and the City could require the 5wanson property to run storm sewer to Edgerton. Chapman pointed out that the storm sewer must be sized to accommodate surrounding properties as well and not just the run-off from the Swanson property. Blesener felt the City should act on the preliminary plat and authorize the City Engineer to work on the drainaqe issue. If the Green Value Addition does not want to accept the recommendation of the City Engineer, the City can withhold approval of the final plat. Fahey agreed that if the storm sewer needs to be oversized to accommodate other properties in the area, the Swanson property should not be responsible for the cost of the oversizing. Page 9
