He asked that they be allowed to construct the sewer and water mains, curbs, gutters and build up to four model homes. There should be minimal water runoff and explained that Good Value Homes would be willing to work with the City to phase in the area. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that financing the storm water drainage improvement is a real concern. In this situation the City will need all the participation possible to pay for the acquisition of easements and construction. Mr. Bisel moved that Phase I of Sunnygate proceed with the stipulation that utilities, streets, curbs, gutters and up to four model homes can be constructed and the balance of the plat will be subject to acquisition of easements for surface water management, in addition all documents; developers agreement, letter of credit and title opinion must be completed. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Mr. Reinert asked if the model homes would be sold. Mr. Peterson said not until all ninety eight (98) lots are sold. Motion carried unanimously. Morehouse Property - Mr. Stahlberg noted that the Morehouse property has been sold for development. He explained that there are drainage problems in the area and this will be handled by an overall water management plan. He suggested that easements be obtained and everything be in place prior to platting. Mr. Bisel told Mr. Stahlberg that this was up to him and that he should get things going. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT - JOHN MILLER Minor Subdivision, Michael & Janet Gianotti - Mr. Miller noted that the Gianotti's own a large rural lot adjacent to the Sunrise Meadows plat and has applied for a subdivision of the lot into four urban sized lots. The Planning and Zoning Board have recommended approval of the request and have asked that a Certificate of Survey be submitted indicating the location of the existing home. The survey has been received and was reviewed by Mr. Miller who noted that the house will be approximately six feet from the lot line. A variance for this side yard setback is required if the Minor Subdivision is approved. There was discussion regarding the previously platted one acre lots and how they can be subdivided when municipal utilities are available. Mr. Reinert expressed concern regarding how much of a variance the City should allow in the cases where the lot sizes will not meet the code regarding side yard setbacks or the current dwelling does not meet the ordinance requirements. Mr. Miller said that the situation in this area is so unique and recommended that each request be handled on an individual basis. 1
