1 1 COUNCIL MEETING MAY 22, 1989 The next step prior to selling the land to the residents is to prepare and implement a drainage plan to be sure that there will always be positive drainage in this area. Mr. Reinert asked if Mr. Schumacher had addressed this issue at his meeting and Mr. Schumacher said he had not because he did not have the information. Mr. Reinert said he would rather leave the Outlot as is so that the City would keep full control. He also noted that possibly some of the residents will not want to purchase a portion of the Outlot when they find out how it will be reconstructed. After further conversation Mr. Neal moved to authorize the City Engineer to complete a positive drainage plan for Outlot F. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. West Shadow Improvements and Assessment Policy - Mr. Stahlberg explained that he and Mr. Miller have had informational meetings with the residents adjacent to West Shadow Lake Drive. Two questions have been raised by the residents: 1) what will each parcel be assessed if only the road (approximately 1000 feet) at Rice Creek is raised above the 100 year flood plain and a new drainage structure and revisions to the alignment to the road to conform to state aid regulations is constructed, and 2) if sewer and water is available and they request hookups, will they be required to hook up to both utilities? This has not been adopted by the City Council but is necessary to maintain a consistent policy and enhance the cash flow. There was discussion regarding the planned street from Lake Drive down Aqua Lane to the golf course and it was noted that the residents are aware of the new proposed plat for the northeast side of Reshanau Lake and have requested that there be egress and ingress around the lake. The Council policy of requiring two entrances and two egresses from a neighborhood was noted. It was also noted that the original platting of the 'area showed that the street would run around the north end of the lake and Mr. Volk explained that in 1973 when he was first employed by the City that particular road was maintained by the City. The Council did not make any decisions regarding this matter. Mr. Bisel moved to continue the Council meeting until all agenda items were completed. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASING CERTAIN TAX FORFEIT LANDS, RESOLUTION NO. 34 - 89 Mrs. Anderson explained that all of the parcels were originally platted as future City streets or parks. Mr. Reinert moved to purchase these tax forfeit lots. Mr.
