008 COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 9, 1987 why current businesses do not keep up this part of their buildings now? Rosemary Storberg, 6978 Lake Drive - Mrs. Storberg asked how much more taxes is realized from a $150,000 commercial building than from the same value house? There was no available answer to this question. Mr. Reinert noted that businesses usually do not require the same level of services from a city as a home would therefore the tax return to the community is greater. He felt the reason for proposing this ordinance was to upgrade the commercial community to become more attractive to others who are looking for an area to locate their businessses. He noted that there may be room for compromise in this ordinance. Mr. Reinert moved to table Ordinance No. 05 -86 until April 13, 1987 during which time the Economic Development Committee and the Suburban Chamber of Commerce be asked for their comments. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel asked that the codes from surrounding communities be made available to Mr. Joyer. Mr. Reinert asked that the Economic Development Committee and the Chamber be updated on what has transpired on the proposed ordinance today and the comments from this evening. TMPROVEMENT HEARING. SOUTH RESHANAU LAKE ESTATES. GARY UHDE Mayor Benson called the public hearing to order at 8:28 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg explained that this project has been 100% petitioned by the property owner, Mr. Uhde. He outlined the location of the project and displayed a proposed plat on the overhead projector. The total cost of the improvements will be approximately $1,064,241.00. The project will be built in two phases with 99 lots in phase one and 63 in phase two. Mr. Stahlberg explained the water and sewer layout and explained that the control structures have not yet been designed. Ron Conway, 6280 Red Maple Lane - Mr. Conway asked if the Engineer had checked the calculations of the ponds and storm water runoff. He noted that no matter how deep the ponds are built they can only hold so much water and explained his theory. His second concern involved Reshanau Lake. He was concerned that the lake could reach such heights that it could back up into the holding ponds. Iie asked that the Council have this information checked now and not at the final plat because if the designs will not work then all this work and public hearings are for nothing. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the developers engineers have completed the computations on the holding ponds, piping and flow to Reshanau Lake and these calculations will not be checked until the final plat is designed. There will be nineteen boring bases for pond elevations Page 4 1
