MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 11, 2006 CALL FOR HEARING — VACATION OF PORTION OF COUNTRY DRIVE RIGHT- OF-WAY Keis noted that this problem was caused by development outside the RCC property, and asked how the City will ensure that drainage impacts from future projects do not result in this problem in the future. The City Administrator indicated that the City Engineer at the time, felt that the City's motivation was to get a project developed, and as a result did not take a tougher stance on the drainage from this project which impacted the RCC property. The City Administrator felt that the practices of the current City Engineer are far more diligent and that drainage impacts to surrounding properties are a consideration in his project drainage reviews. Keis noted that if this drainage had been addressed in the original project, the City would not be faced with correcting this problem years later. The City Administrator replied that that was correct. He noted that the City does not want to have to pay to correct drainage problems which should be the responsibility of a developer at the time of development. Montour asked the age of RCC's parking lot. Crownhart estimated the age at 12 to 15 years. She noted that the parking lot is in excellent condition except for some minor areas. Ms. Allan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2006 -10 -238 — AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER TO PREPARE PLANS AND SPECS FOR THE RESOURCES FOR CHILD CARING DRAINAGE PROJECT, AND INDICATING THAT THE CITY'S INTENTION IS TO BID THIS PROJECT AS PART OF THE 2007 IMPROVEMENTS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. The City Administrator reported that RAB, LLC would like to place a monument sign at their new building located at 2935 Country Drive. Given the extra wide right -of -way for Country Drive, the property owner does not have adequate room between the curb line and the right -of -way to install their sign. The Administrator reported that staff has reviewed this matter and believes a portion of the Country Drive right -of -way can be vacated to accommodate the sign, while leaving the City in excess of 60 feet of right -of -way. The proposal would be to vacate approximately 11 feet of Country Drive as abuts 2935 Country Drive. 5
