COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 28, 1996 <br />Council Member Neal asked what would happen if the owner of the property sold the property <br />before these things get done. Mr. Hawkins indicated that if the developer does not put in the <br />fence the City will do it. <br />Mr. Ahrens stated that typically a fence is installed after rough grading is done. He expects to <br />see the fence as soon as the rough grading has been completed. <br />Council Member Lyden stated it seems like the "cart has come before the horse ". <br />Mayor Landers asked if the curbs and gutters are in. Mr. Ahrens indicated the curbs and gutters <br />are in the development only. <br />Council Member Lyden asked if the Council will approve the fence plan. Mr. Hawkins stated <br />only the staff approves the fence plan. <br />Council Member Kuether asked who was in mediation. It was indicated that the Walseth's and <br />Mr. Hokanson were in mediation. However, the mediation fell through and there is only a verbal <br />agreement. <br />Mr. Albright indicated he did not want a verbal agreement. He was told he cannot fence <br />wetlands. Much of his land is wetland. He asked if the dirt along his property line is temporary. <br />Mr. Ahrens stated that he would visit his property to view the wetlands. <br />Mr. Tesch excused himself from the meeting. Mr. Schumacher arrived at the meeting at 7:42 <br />p.m. <br />Mayor Landers suggested the RCWD be notified. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted the fence was in the written agreement and that agreement had <br />not been signed. He asked if the City has received a response from the developer about these <br />issues. Mr. Ahrens stated that Mr. Hokanson submitted a landscape plan and fence plan <br />approximately one (1) month ago. He is waiting for staff comments. An agreement regarding <br />the landscape plan is needed. <br />Mr. Albright indicated he has seen the plan for the fence. The fence does not go through the <br />wetland. The City Attorney did not see any requirement to put in a fence. <br />Mr. Hawkins explained that in the past, staff has had the responsibility to recommend fencing or <br />landscaping. Staff has been evaluating what meets the Council's directive. <br />Mr. Schumacher stated that he has talked to the City Forester who has determined a landscaping <br />plan will deter trespassing. Staff has looked at the options. <br />Council Member Lyden stated that when Council approves a plan, a stipulation should be made <br />that the plan meets the needs of the citizens and the developer after the plan completed. <br />5 <br />
