MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 22, 1998 street as is. I<immes pointed out thlt Paul Heuer has indicated that the 18- foot street width would be adequate for the additional traff'ic the new homes would generate. Kimmes stated that if the Council ~ives him direction to pursue other avenues, he will do so. However, he wanted to work with the new City Engineer and felt an additional 30 days would allow him this opportunity. Morelan suggested that while Paul Heuer's report says that retaining the 18-foot width would be consistent with the Council's previous action, Morelan indicated that it would be inappropriately consisYent. Morelan suggested that Mr. Kimmes come back with a plat that meets all the minimum requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. Scalze questioned I<immes' statemenY tl~at he would be adding four lots to Gilanderi Lane, when tl~e plat indicated five lots. Kimmes pointed out that one of the houses would be lccessed via County Road B-2 while the other four would have access via Gilanderi Lane. Scalze pointed ouY that when Gilanderi Lane was reconstructed in 1995, Mr. Smith, then owner of the property, and the other property owners in the area agreed to a water and street system that would service the area. The City agreed with the nei~hborliood on the minimal streeY system that was improved. However, had the City thou~ht additional lots would be developed on the Smith property, the City may have required that Gilanderi Lane meet minimum street standards. Fahey asked the consequences of tabling action on this matter. The City Attorney stlted that he would have to check the 60-day statute. One option would be for the City to continue the public hearing. Fahey asked if there was anyone fi~om the general public wishing to comme~~t on this matter. John Grabrick, Greenbrier Circle, reported that the biggest concern is the drainage. Grabrick pointed out that the City Engiueer has indicated that the run-off fi~om this prope~ty cannot be increased. There is currently a hu~e hole on one of the ]ots. Grabrick reported that there are already drainage problems in the area, and felt that the addition of five houses would intensify those problems. Grabrick also reported that there is a property line dispute between Mr. Farley, owner of 777 East Viking Drive, and Mr. I{immes. Grabrick felt that the drainage and property line issues needed to be resolved before the Counci] acts on a preliminary plat. Grabrick pointed out Mr. Kimmes' comments that the development must work financially, and Grabrick indicated that it must work financially for him as wel] relative to the impact of the drainage.
