COUNCIL MEETING January 12, 1987 Page Eight Mr. Volk addressed the breakup of Red Maple Lane. He noted there are soft spots on the southern portion. His department is trying to place another wear course over the existing blacktop to spread the weight. He may need to excavate some areas and bring in clean fill. Mr. Marier moved to continue the meeting. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The Council took a ten minute recess at 10:12 P.M. Mrs. Monica Slatten - 6823 Red Maple Lane referred to the pond on the southern portion of Mr. Uhde's plat and asked if he would be changing the natural area there. She noted that the area designated for park or plat area is now marsh. She asked if Mr. Uhde was going to excavate Phase II of his plat when he excavates Phase I. Mr. Newmeister explained that Phase I will be done completely and some in Phase II. Mr. Uhde explained there was many agencies he must get approvals from before he starts any excavation. Mrs. Slatten asked Mr. Uhde if he would consider increasing the size of his lots. Mr. Uhde explained it is a matter of costs. As it is platted now he will only get about two lots per acre because of the large amount of ponding that is required. Mr. Pojar commented to Mr. Uhde that as an amenity he decrease den - ssity in the southern part of the plat. Mary Leander - 6823 Red Maple Lane explained Mr. Uhde has platted four and one half lots abutting her property. She asked that he reduce the number of lots and asked if Fox Road is a necessity. Mr. Uhde explained that Fox Road is already platted in her addition and it would be a requirement of the City for him to plat the connecting street. Mary Kay Benson - 6347 Red Maple Lane said she did not want Fox Road coming into their circle drive. Mr. Volk explained he feels it is important that Fox Drive be completed for a second entry into the area for emergency vehicles. It would also provide the Red Maple Lane residents access to Mr. Uhde's park development and could be the route when utilities are extended into the area. Mr. Benson felt the road was not necessary for park access and the residents should be allowed to decide if the road was warranted. Steve Collova - 6323 Red Maple Lane asked if it would be better to build a road to the west parallel with 62nd Street. Mr. Volk ex- plained that 62nd Street has state aid designation and will probably be upgraded to state aid specifications. Mr. Benson commented that the condition of 62nd Street is going downhill. 1 1 1
