1 November 10. 198 -' the City accepts the street as a City Street. Mr. Dobie said he understood this, but he is caught in the transition - he began under one set of rules and is now being asked to continue under a different set of rules. Mrs. Elsenpeter agreed. Mr. McLean moved to accept the street in Mr. Dobie's plat based on the Engineer's re- commendation dated October 7, 1980. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The date of the maintenance bond will begin as of this date. This is to be 20% of the construction casts of $16,000.00 or $3,200.00. Mr. Dobie was undecided as to how he wished to handle this matter. The Council suggested he contact Mr. Schumacher with his decision, and the Council will go with Mr. Schumacher's recommendation. Mr. Homer Bruggeman appeared to discuss basically the same problem. He also questioned the maintenance bond requirement since his plat had also began under a different set of rules. Mr. Bruggeman outlined the work that had been done in his plat. He had understood that the requirement was for the City's protection, but he strongly disagreed with the changing of rules. Mr. Bruggeman asked if the agreement reached on the con- struction of the boulevards in his plat was still in effect(and the Council said that it was. The Clerk is to send Mr. Bruggeman a copy of the minutes setting forth these stipulations. Mr. Bruggeman asked if his street had been accepted. Mr. Schumacher read a copy of the letter that had been sent to Mr. Bruggeman setting forth the main- tenance bond requirement. Mr. Bruggeman felt the 'as- builts' had been for warded to the City Engineers, but he will check and if not, will forward them. Mr. Jaworski moved to reduce the Letter of Credit form $22,000.00 to the required $7,000.00. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mayor Gourley ssked that the motion be amended to include the acceptance of Foxtail Drive and Foxtail Court. Mr. Jaworski accepted the amendment - Mr. Kulaszewicz accepted the amendment. Mr. Schumachdr asked Mr. Bruggeman, if the City has a program whereby the streets were installed by the City and accessed to the property, would he be willing to partic- ipate? And Mr. Bruggeman said he would - he felt that the installation under this method would produce better streets since they would be better controlled. Mayor Gourley called for the question. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk is to send a copy of the minutes setting forth the variance to the width of the berm on the streets in West Oaks. Mr. Karth appeared before the Council asking for clairfication of the 'storage yard' classification as set forth in Ordinance #56. He asked if this means a place where just equipment is stored or does it include an operation where equipment is parked in conjunction with the offices and shop? Mr. Karth pointed out that if the lands in question must be rezoned to HI to allow storage yards, this is also opening this area up to junk yards, etc., which could bring in some undesirable operations. He felt the use of the land could be controlled on the first sale, but what happens when the,land is resold. Mayor Gourley felt that the LI classification did not include storage yards. Mr. McLean suggested a dual zoning. Mr. Karth thanked the Council for their suggestions. He will consider and return.
