COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 22, 1990 Mayor Bisel noted that the Design Review Board had a question on the length of the cul -de -sacs in the plan. Mr. Siberlick noted that the length was not considerable longer than required by the City Code and they did provide unique entrances to particular areas. Mr. Volk explained that his concern is not with the length of the cul -de -sac since the same maintenance problems occur if the cul -de -sac is short or long. Maintenance is the real problem. Mr. Jeff Shopek, a civil engineer who is also working on this development introduced himself to the Council and explained that he is working with the DNR and the Army Corps of Engineers regarding obtaining permits. He said the DNR has indicated that there will be no problems in issuing permits for the plan as designed. He has been working with the Army Corps of Engineer regarding filling about four (4) acres of wet lands. The plan is to create a variety of wet lands. Mr. Shopek said that the theme for the development is "econological" development. He is looking at the development pragmatically and noted that no one is interested in not being successful with this development. Council Member Reinert asked what is the receiving body for the runoff from this property. Mr. Shopek explained and noted how the development was engineered to improve water runoff quality. He showed on the plat map where controls for runoff would be placed. Council Member Reinert said that water quality testing should take place and he also asked that the ponding devices be adequate. Mr. Miller said he believed that the Council should be very satisfied with the quality of the subdivision that is proposed. Mayor Bisel thanked Mr. Siberlick and Mr. Shopek for coming this evening. ENGINEER'S REPORT - DARRELL SCHNEIDER Status of Second Avenue Improvement Project - Mr. Schneider said that later during this meeting Mr. Burke will be addressing the need for condemnation procedures for acquiring some right -of -way for this street at the south end of the street where it meets Lake Drive. At the north end of the street, Sunnygate has given the City an eighty (80) foot easement for the installation of the street. In addition, there are seven (7) lots in Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition that have a thirty (30) foot easement on them for utility purposes. These easements back up to the proposed Second Avenue. It is being proposed to take some of the dirt fill from this area to fill in the low area of Second Avenue near Lake Drive.
