COUNCIL MEETING January 12, 1987 Page Six south from that plat into Colonial Woods. Another concern is for the condition of the street, Red Maple Lane and the density of traffic. A third concern is the access from the new plat to Red Maple Lane, Fox Road. The residents do not want the traffic and wondered if construction equipment will be using Red Maple Lane. Mr. Newmeister said the construction people will use Birch Street. Mr. Benson asked the Council to examine the plat with Phase II in mind to insure the ponding areas and parks do not conflict with future development in Phase II and with Colonial Woods. The resi- dents of Colonial Woods also want a buffer zone for public safety, road use, water flow and home values. He added that the Council could require a bond from the developer in the event there is any harm done by the developer as well as restrictive covenants so that the builder could not build lower value homes. It is the primary concern of the concerned citizens that the development is done in an orderly fashion in particular as it relates to Phase II. Mr. Stahlberg said the southern part of the proposed plat is the highest point of the plat and the natural drainage is to the north. Mr. Benson said he is just asking the Council to approve the plat according to the outlined contigencies, he wants the citizens to be protected. Mr. Stahlberg noted that the access to Red Maple Lane is already on the Colonial Woods plat and the aerial map on the wall shows that the development will be around the low areas. There will be more ponding surface than what is currently there. He also noted that the one of the problems last spring with the holding pond in the Colonial Woods plat is that it did not have an outlet. There- fore it overflowed into the adjoining yards. Miles Pojar - 6255 Red Maple Lane noted he had damage last spring from flooding. The proposed new development will dam water and it will back up to his yard. He asked the Council to protect him. He noted the soils in his area are bad and asked that his area be ditched to the holding ponds. The soils are so bad they cannot drain away quickly. Mr. Uhde said a swale can be constructed. Mr. Pojar asked that this swale be constructed when Phase I is con- structed. Mr. Uhde said all water in the plat will be funneled toward Reshanau Lake. Mr. Pojar said now it is difficult to de- termine where water comes from. He asked that the Council pro- tect him. Mr. Pojar asked when Phase I is developed will the de- veloper provide water flow from the entire project. Mr. Newmeis- ter said yes, they will develop both horizontal and vertical water flow. Mr. Stahlberg said that the same drainage pattern that is there now will be utilized and runoff cannot occur at a faster rate than what is occurring now. Bob Nelson - 6733 East Shadow Lake Road expressed concern for the type of runoff into Reshanau Lake and how long it will take for the ponds to lower. He asked if he measured the gallons in the ditch 1
