46 December 26, 1979 Mr, Gotwald was questio -ed of what the Engineering Study would contain and he said this would include the ponding area being constructed according to the recommendations of the Rice Creek Watershed Board and this would im- prove the water quality going to the Lake due to the weir system and the skimmers eliminating the pesticides and fertilizers. There should be detailed elevations based on borings taken within the next month. This would establish minimum elevations for this area and dictate the style of home that could be built in the area, Mr, Gotwald felt the pond should be done before the first house is constructed. It was generally felt this Council could approve this preliminary plat subject to the developer complying with the stipulations as set forth by the Rice Creek Watershed Board and Mr. Gotwlad and it doesn't imply approval of the final plat. There was some discussion on the possibility of this land being split into 2 acre parcels and sold by meets and bounds which would take away any possibility of controls by the City. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr, Gotwald to put these points in writing for the Council with a copy to go to the developer, Mr. Kulaszewicz agreed with this concept. Mr. Gotwald pointed out this would only release the lots facing 77th Street and,Peltier - the streets must be constructed before the interior lots could be released. He also felt that perhsps the City should insist that the streets be constructed before any building permits are released. It was suggested this Council could give approval of the preliminary plat with a developers agreemetn drafted by Mr.Locher and Mr, Gotwlad to be- come a part of the plat and be filed as such. Mr. Zelinka moved to grant preliminary approval of this plat as understood and subject to further planning and conditions to be presented at the con- tinued hearing shceduled for January 14, 1980, with teh Engineer's and Attorney's stipulations to be put in writing and all petitioners to be notified of this hearing, also all other interested parties.
