COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Attorney review of abstract document. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Mr. Uhde and his engineer were in the audience to represent this development. Mr. Neal asked if the park issue was resolved. Mr. Schumacher explained that research of City records indicate that this area was included in the park dedication from Mr. Janderic for the Lakes Additions. However, another issue was raised concerning the twenty nine (29) lots formerly owned by NSP and purchased by Mr. Uhde. Mr. Schumacher explained the problems encountered by staff with phase development. He asked that Phase II of this development be well "locked in" to avoid this type of confusion. Mr. Stahlberg said he did not think the problems encountered in the South Reshanau Lake Estates platting would not happen again. Mr. Uhde explained that in the future phase developing will be much clearer. Acting Mayor Reinert was concerned about a situation where a developer would "sit" on the lots until high taxes force them to be developed. He also expressed concern about heavy equipment and large truck hauling building material breaking up Black Duck Drive. He said it would be unfair to this subdivision to create premature aging of this street and the expect the abutting residents to pay for its repair. Mr. Volk explained that it would be tough to measure the wear and tear on the street created by this new development. He suggested that the developer submit a letter of credit or bond to cover wear and tear that can be documented. After further discussion, Mr. Volk recommended that stations and pictures of Black Duck Drive be taken before and after the construction. This could help establish liability. Mr. Uhde said this would be fine with him but reminded the Council of the normal spring breakup. He said he would have no problem using his existing letter of credit to cover this concern. Mr. Volk said the letter of credit must contain language regarding Black Duck Drive. Mr. Bisel amended his motion to include a request that the developer and City Staff determine the condition of Black Duck Drive at this time and at the end of �,he construction phase to determine wear and include this in the letter of credit. Mr. Neal seconded the amendment. Voting on the motion and the amendment, carried unanimously. Discussion of Drainage Plan for Outlot F - Mr. Stahlberg gave a brief background on this matter. This lot has been platted and it was the intention of the Council to deed portion of the Outlot to adjoining landowners. This would put the Outlot back on tax rolls and eliminate a concern for the City. Before deeding the property to adjoining landowners, it was suggested that the area be graded to provide adequate
