COUNCIL MINUTES December 11, 2017 DRAFT 7 Development Director Grochala remarked that if the council decides to go ahead with the hearing on 240 improvements, the survey really becomes a mute point. 241 Mike Trehus, 675 Shadow Court, impacted homeowner. Mr. Trehus noted first that work on culverts 242 is proposed to begin at the end of 2018 and work on street in 2019 so there should be another year for 243 planning? Ms. Hankee said there is permitting required (four to six months – first itteration) so no 244 there is not much time. When Mr. Trehus asked additional questions about the schedule and how 245 much additional time is there for planning to provide for a more open and transparent process. Ms. 246 Hankee said as long as the council decides, adding that the condition of the road has to be 247 consideration. Mr. Trehus recalled information he has submitted regarding the protection of wetlands 248 in certain right of ways; he’d like to see more information submitted to the watershed district in order 249 to answer questions about deliniation of wetland. 250 Mayor Reinert asked if the report submitted is in its final form? Staff said yes. Mr. Grochala added a 251 response regarding the status of wetland deliniation.
