MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 26, 1990 <br />Blesener stated that the elimination of the twin homes <br />from the proposal addressed the major concern the <br />Council had with the plan. Blesener noted that the <br />City has received a petition from the Schletty Drive <br />property owners opposing the twin-home proposal. <br />Blesener addressed the extension of the Sunrise Drive <br />cul-de-sac pointing out the existing landscaping around <br />the cul-de-sac, and that according to the City Planner <br />there is a 50 foot road easement in place which was <br />required by the City for possible future extension of <br />the cul-de-sao. <br />Howe reported that when the street is extended and the <br />existing cul-de-sac removed, the existing driveways <br />will be extended and lawns and landscaping replaced as <br />part of the project. Howe suggested that these be <br />included as requirements of the developer in the <br />Development Agreement. <br />The City Engineer reported that he has reviewed the <br />concept proposal and there are a number of utility <br />questions. These have been pointed out to the <br />developer's engineer, who will address these issues. <br />Scalze asked if Outlot A, as shown on the sketch plan, <br />is a wetland area. <br />Howe replied that Outlot A is wetland which is <br />protected by the DNR and Army Corps of Engineers. Howe <br />was not sure who owned this property. <br />Scalze asked about the property to the north. <br />Howe replied that the property to the north is owned by <br />Fred Schletty, Jr., and he has no plans to develop this <br />property at this time. <br />At this point, Council opened the meeting to comments <br />from the general public. <br />Ellie Laumark, 2419 Sunrise Drive, stated that she was <br />pleased that the plans have been changed eliminating <br />the twin-homes from the project. Laumark reported that <br />she moved to the area because of the view and open <br />space. Laumark reported that she was concerned that <br />loss of green space would effect the quality of life in <br />the area, as would increased traffic. Laumark <br />suggested that the City put a future moratorium on <br />development in order to preserve Little Canada the way <br />it is. Laumark reported that citizens of Little Canada <br />pay high taxes, and expect a certain quality of life <br />Page 3 <br />
