MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 8~ 1990 Fahey pointed out that the Swanson property will develop as approved under the preliminary plat. The final plat will not be approved until the storm sewer situation on Little Canada Road is addressed. Collova suggested that the developer could post a bond to cover reseeding of the area should excavation begin and completion of the plat be postponed. Fahey felt that once the excavation begins, the developer will have a financial commitment in the property large enough that the plat will be completed. The City Engineer stated that he would like some assurances from a storm sewer standpoint, and again pointed out that once existing turf is removed, run-off from the site will increase. The Engineer reported that the majority of the run-off from the site will go to Little Canada Road. Palmen reported that he would plan to begin excavation of the back portion of the property, not the front. Palmen reported that he would be taking fill from the Swanson property and depositing it in the Mid Oaks plat. Palmen would provide access to the rear of the property with a gravel road. Silt fencinq would be installed. The City Engineer again stated that he was concerned about the removal of the established turf, and stated that his objection would be less if that turf is not removed. Fahey suggested that the City Engineer could work with Palmen to establish a reasonable area at the front of the property that cannot be disturbed. Palmen agreed and also suggested that hay could be spread over the site to keep run-off at a minimum. Collova pointed out that the City has allowed other developers to beqin grading when they have only had preliminary plat approval. Scalze pointed out that in this instance there are neighbors in the area who have expressed concern about the run-off. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Page 20
