279 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 drainage and easements placed on the Outlot to insure drainage. Mr. Stahlberg explained a grading plan was provided by Mr. Roger Nelson who wishes to use the excess materials for fill in lots he owns on the east side of Black Duck Drive. Mr. Stahlberg has reviewed the grading plan and recommended that it be revised so that there would be less excavation and disruption to the area. Mr. Neal said that if this area were to be graded, the residents would be very upset. They want it to be left as it is in the natural state. Mr. Schumacher said the original reason this was brought up was to insure that there would be proper drainage and place easements on the land so that the new landowners could not alter the drainage after it was established. Acting Mayor Reinert said he was unaware that there were drainage problems in this area. Mr. Volk said there were no major problems at this time, but if the land were deeded to the adjacent landowners, they would alter their lots by hauling in fill and this would cause problems for the neighbors down the line. Acting Mayor Reinert asked why this had not been done ten years ago before all the homes were built. After further discussion, Mr. Neal moved to leave Outlot F as it is and put a stipulation in the deeds that will not allow future landowners to alter the terrain and only construct structures that will not change drainage patterns. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Mr. Hawkins asked if this area will be needed in the future for drainage purposes. If so, he suggested that the easements be placed on the property before it is deeded to the landowners. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel asked what would happen to the parcels that are not deeded to the adjacent landowners. It was suggested that some landowners may want to buy more than one lot. Mr. Schumacher explained that he has had several meetings with the landowners and has a fairly good idea who wants additional land. Mr. Schumacher was asked to contact the landowners and get a list of those who want property and bring this information back to the Council. CONSIDERATION OF " "HE CENTENNIAL JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AS AMENDED Mr. Schumacher explained that this is the fourth draft of the Joint Powers Agreement and gave a brief background on the matter. He noted that this would be the first reading of the draft and a second reading would be required. There has been input from the City Attorney's from all three cities. Mr. Bisel said he found it difficult to determine if anything has been left out of this draft. Mr. Schumacher explained that all issues raised by the three cities were addressed and all the agreed upon changes have been incorporated in this draft.
