MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 13, 1990 Tunehorst asked for an estimate of the cost of watermain, curb and gutter, and street improvements along Vanderbie. DeBace pointed out that Vanderbie is a very flat road. DeBace stated that it would be difficult for him to estimate these costs since he does not know what it would take to make the street drain properly or how much storm sewer might be needed. DeLonais suggested that these assessment questions should be answered by the City Engineer at the Council meeting. Peterson questioned whether storm sewer would be needed on Vanderbie. DeBace replied that the City Engineer would have to make this determination. However, pointed out that the storm sewer on Desoto is adequate to handle the run -off from the Costa plat. A property owner in the area asked the value of the homes that would be constructed. DeBace estimated the value at $90,000 to $140,000 which includes the cost of the lot. Oliver Becker, Allen Avenue, reported that the property owners on Allen and Vanderbie are concerned about the fact that this project will mandate water, sewer, and street improvements on Allen and Vanderbie. These property owners do not want any assessments for something that will not benefit them. Pederson pointed out that the issue of street and watermain improvements on Allen and Vanderbie is not something that the Commission makes a recommendation on. Becker suggested that if these improvements are necessary on Allen and Vanderbie due to the development of the Costa property, the project should bear these improvement costs. Herkenhoff pointed out that the concerns of the property owners will be forwarded to the Council. However, the Commission is only charged to address the issue of the preliminary plat for the Costa property. Drabik stated that she believed cross - streets should be required as part of the preliminary plat. Page 6
