Bran Dobie - Subdivision by metes and bounds Mr. Dobie presented his arial maps and overlay and explained he has already started construction of the street. He is working with both Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Mobley regarding street construction and water drainage. He further ex- plained his development has received preliminary approval by the Rice Creek Water Shed District (RCWD) and he has documents to that effect. He will go before that Board again on September 27, 1978. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Dobie if the water table was rather high in that area. Mr. Dobie said he was designing the area with this in mind and felt his pond- ing and drainage was very adequate. Mr. Dobie asked about the letter of credit. Mr. McLean explained that Mr. Gotwald would have to establish an estimate of what the street construction would be and then Mr. Dobie would obtain a letter of credit from his bank for one and one half times the construction cost of the road. This letter would be kept in the City office. Mr. Dobie explained the problem with the drainage through a culvert under Main Street. It is undersized and positioned wrong. He said he would take legal action if necessary to remedy this situation. He expected cooperation from the County and the RCWD on this matter and legal action then would not be necessary. Mr. Dobie explained a proposed future roadway that would extend from his pre- sent street along the west side of his acreage. Mr. Van Kleek owns the adjoin- ing five acres and he has asked him to help in blacktopping this street. How- ever they have not come to an agreement on this. He noted that Mr. Van Kleek would like to split his five acres into two long parcels but Mr. Dobie felt this was not the best way to handle this five acrea. Mr. Reinert thanked Mr. Dobie for coming and for a very thorough and enlight- ening presentation. Mr. McLean said Mr. Dobie was to be congradulated on his approach.
