COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1990 of concerns that they would like the Steering Committee to address. Council Member Reinert moved to approve the Fire District disbursement listing. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Sunnygate - Mr. Schumacher explained that when the plat for Sunnygate was approved, the Council stipulated that only four units could be built in the subdivision until the Surface Water Management Plan was in place. The developer of Sunnygate is putting together his marketing plan for 1990 and is asking that the Council allow him to build additional units. The final plat is for thirty four (34) units, the streets, sewer, water and storm water facilities have been installed and the City Attorney has indicated that acquisition of the needed right -of -way for the Storm Water Management Plan is well under way. Mr. Hawkins explained that acquisition will not be final until June or July and then construction can begin. Mr. Schneider told the Council that he did not feel development in Sunnygate would adversely affect the area outside of Sunnygate. He noted that construction of the Storm Water Management Plan would not be started until later in the summer but any impact would be minimal. Mayor Bisel explained he was concerned about the possibility of a ten (10) inch rainfall and what its impact would be to that area. Mr. Schneider said the impact would be within the subdivision and that would be the responsibility of the developer. Council Member Reinert expressed concern regarding matters such as these noting that the Council has been asked to make concessions to developers before and later asked to rectify the damage caused by the concessions. He asked the Council if they wanted to gamble between now and July? Mayor Bisel asked how many units would the developer have to have in Sunnygate before the entire lower end is in Rice Lake? Mr. Schneider explained that the majority of homes would have to be in before there is any impact. Again Mr Schneider said the risk is to the developer and if he has any common sense he will not build in the low areas until all is in place. Council Member Reinert moved to proceed with the marketing of fifteen homes reserving the right of the Council to stop construction at any point if a problem is perceived. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 8:30 P.M. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Aye. 1 1 1
