COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 24, 1990 said no. Mr. Carlson asked if the council was aware that the revised feasibility report shows no storm water management assessment for this subdivision. He wanted to clarify that this is to be the case. Mr. Boxrud said that credits for ponding would probably eliminate any assessment for storm water management. Park dedication was addressed. The Park Board has agreed to a dedication of 3.7 acres at the southeast portion of the subdivision. During the hearing for the preliminary plat, additional park space was considered because the area could not be served by sewer and water. Mr. Carlson asked if the additional park space was only a temporary consideration. Now that sewer and water is available to this location, does the Park Board still want this space. Mr. Carlson said he would like to develop this area along with the rest of the subdivision at this time. He said he needs more lots to make the entire subdivision feasible financially. Mr. Carlson addressed the timing of the improvements. Mr. Schneider explained that the earliest that the Chomonix trunk sewer would be available is October 1, 1991. Mr. Miller suggested that Mr. Carlson could use temporary services from the Shenandoah subdivision. Mr. Carlson said he would be willing to pay the extra costs involved. Council Member Reinert suggested that the park issue and the temporary services issue should have been worked out before the matter came before the Council. Mr. Carlson said that it could not be done since the Council determines all matters of policy. Council Member Reinert asked that matters come before the Council in a more consolidated manner. He said that it appeared matters were going backward. The Council has hired a planner and two (2) engineers, yet the Council-is being involved more and more. There was a suggestion that a group be formed that would give feed -back to the staff. Council Member Kuether said that she thought her committee was doing just that. Mr. Carlson was told that the park issue and the assessment issue should be addressed in the developer's agreement. He was also told that the two (2) lots facing Ware Road cannot be assessed twice. In regard to connecting to the Shenandoah utilities temporarily, if the Shenandoah residents will not be adversely affected, it is feasible. Mr. Carlson told the Council that he appreciated the answers to his questions. Since this was a hearing, he wanted the Council to know that he objected to contributing more than 3.7 acres for Dedicated Parks. Council Member Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 10:20 P.M. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PAGE 10
