120 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD June 12, 1985 Page Three Mr. McLean asked Mr. Davidson for written recommendations with respect to street standards for use in Comprehensive Planning. The group briefly discussed street lighting. Mr. Davidson said he had no recommendations presently, but would compile his recom- mendations as requested by the Board. With regard to the use of culverts in the City, Mr. Davidson said there are unique situations in most every case where drainage must be taken into consideration, not only with concern for the indivi- dual, but the overall neighboring area. He felt standards for culverts and ditches would be difficult to follow in many cases. The Board asked whether or not they should be concerned, when re- viewing a site and building plan, with the landscaping plans. Generally, there is not a definite plan describing the landscaping to be done. Mr. Davidson felt this is an important consideration. Mr. Davidson also recommended that the City adopt an Improvements Funding and Assessment Policy. The Board asked that Mr. Davidson remain at the meeting to discuss a later agenda item, James Refrigeration Addition to Tom Thumb. 1 ALWIN LAMOTTE - MINING PERMIT - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FLOOD PLAIN Agnes LaMotte was present to answer questions with regard to this request, which Mr. Kluegel presented to the Board. This item is a continuation of earlier discussions at May 8, 1985 P & Z meeting. Two duck ponds have been dug on the LaMotte property with a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District. A stipulation of that permit was that the spoils be removed from the property. In an after -the- fact situation, the LaMotte's now need a Conditional Use Permit/ Mining Permit. The LaMotte's plans are to clean out the County ditch on their property also. They currently have a request in to Rice Creek Watershed District for these plans. Should that request be approved, the LaMotte's will have to come before the City again and repeat these proceedings. The Board felt it was unfair to charge the applicant the applica- tion /escrow fee twice. Mr. Kulaszewicz said that the Council could possibly handle the fee charges if and when the LaMotte's should appear before the City again. The applicant stated that approximately 1,000 cubic yards of spoils are to be removed. Mr. Kluegel stated that he and the Rice Creek Watershed District inspector will be responsible to see that only the spoils are removed.
