COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1997 7. The 100 -year flood plain elevation, building pad elevations, and street elevations are identified. 8. The Park Board provides recommendation regarding park dedication requirements. (This recommendation has been obtained.) 9. The City Engineer provides comment and recommendation regarding: a. City maintenance responsibilities associated with 21st Avenue. b. Grading and drainage. c. Easement establishment. d. Utilities. e. Flood plain containment. f. Hydric soil limitations. 10. That there be a letter of map revision obtained by the applicant from FIMA relating to the flood plain. Mr. Wessel commented that engineering issues are paramount, and should be reviewed in detail. He added that Mr. Rehbein and Economic Development have worked for the past two years to make this quadrant commercially developable. This is important to the City in light of the status of the commercial property opposite the I -35, which has not developed as anticipated. Council Member Lyden recommended increasing the square footage of Lot No. 2 by moving the south property line of Lot No. 4 to align with Lots No. 1 and 4. Mr. Wessel suggested that the applicant provide input on that issue. Mr. Ahrens explained that at a prior work session alignment of 21st Avenue was discussed. This shared roadway will require a joint powers agreement. With respect to utilities, a feasibility report is forthcoming which will provide Council with information regarding installation and assessment. Soil borings are being conducted to provide building foundation and road design requirements. Mr. Ahrens explained that the applicant has submitted information to FIMA with respect to flood plain containment. He added that the flood plain is planned for containment within a specific "floodway ", similar to the manner in which Centerville dealt with Clearwater Creek. With respect to the right -of -way issue, Mr. Ahrens explained that in this circumstance 80 feet would be excessive. A 60 -foot right -of -way would best accommodate the subject property road design. The 21st Avenue/Main Street intersection will be addressed within the feasibility report. Mayor Landers asked if cutting back the easement to 60 feet would pose a problem for Centerville, as this is a shared roadway. Mr. Ahrens explained that the 21st Avenue easement would remain at 80 feet. The 60 -foot easement is proposed for Northern Lakes Boulevard. 15
