MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 26, 1990 this evening does not include the variance issue, and the Planner suggested that this issue be addressed at the time of final plat. Scalze noted that the Park Commission has recommended that the park charge for this development be in the form of cash rather than land. The Commission also suggested that access to the wetland area be provided via the proposed cul-de-sac. Howe noted that the cul-de-sac goes right up to the wetland area which is shown as an outlot on the plat. Blesener asked if Howe is proposing any filling. Howe replied that there will be no filling of any of the lots. Scalze asked if Outlot A should be designated as a drainage easement area rather than an outlot. Scalze stated that the City needs to be assured that this area will remain wetland. Howe agreed that the area was a wetland and would remain as such. The City Planner noted that the DNR has designated the area as a wetland, and the area cannot be developed unless the DNR changes its designation, which is highly unlikely. Fahey noted that the proposed outlot is unbuildable and should remain a swamp. Howe agreed. Fahey asked if there was anyone from the general public present wishing to address this matter. Gene Curwick, 2452 Sunrise Drive, reported that when the preliminary plat for the Sunrise Drive extension was discussed, the developer had indicated that existing driveways on Sunrise Drive would be relocated where necessary, a berm would be moved, existing landscaping replaced. Curwick reported that in reviewing the grading plans for the proposed plat, it appears that the existing grade of the street will be lowered 5 to 6 feet, which will result in a bank being left along his property. Curwick expressed concern for how the grade change will be addressed and how his property will be finished off. Curwick stated that he was not pleased to have a 5 to 6 foot embankment along- Page 3
