1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 28, 1991 <br />Mr. Ron Adamson, father of. developer,. Bob Adamson explained to. <br />the Council that the covenants referred to by Mr. Kern are <br />covenants between private individuals. He said that he would not <br />be violating them. Mr. Adamson explained that he has been <br />harassed by the residents along Otter Lake Drive. He noted that <br />he and his partner have been paying taxes on this property for <br />some time and now it is time to move forward on this matter. Mr. <br />Adamson noted that the ten (10) foot culvert is sufficient and <br />will last for fifty (50) to one hundred (100) years. He noted <br />that this was a problem between the RCWD and Lino Lakes since the <br />City does not want the responsibility of bridge inspections. Mr. <br />Adamson noted that the project will be a "credit" to the <br />community. He also noted that if the project cannot be approved, <br />the City should buy the property and use it as park property and <br />serve it with a foot bridge with parking lots located on Mr. <br />Hansen's property. <br />Laurie, Kinneberg, 2011 Otter Lake Drive said that the channel <br />was not illegally dug. She explained that the DNR paid to have <br />the channel dug and to leave the island for wild habitat. <br />Bob Adamson, developer of Oak Brook Peninsula explained that the <br />o g,cul- - ac <br />.i, :. '..??, <br />isE r pbss'ible a ri an explained the difficulties in <br />using them. Mr. Adamson also explained that the long cul -de -sac <br />will not impair home values in the project or to those homes <br />adjacent to the area. His homes will be selling for about <br />$500,000.00. Mr. Adamson also explained that the percolation <br />tests were completed at the request of the City. Additional <br />tests will be required at the homesite when it is determined. <br />Mr. Adamson explained that the only private covenant affected by <br />his project is the covenant dealing with no filling of the <br />channel. He asked what was the intent of the covenant. It is <br />not his intention to block the channel, only bridge it. He noted <br />that the channel does not flow presently and appears to be <br />filling itself in. Mr. Adamson noted that the land on both sides <br />of the channel is owned by Marlin Hansen and he is willing to <br />provide access. He also noted that the area landowners and <br />covenant holders are violating their own covenants by using boats <br />with motors larger than allowed by the covenants and by placing a <br />footbridge over the channel. Mr. Adamson also explained that a <br />$4,000.00 historical study was preformed and there is nothing <br />there of importance and only one area was marked so that he will <br />stay away from it. This particular area is within the 100 foot <br />flood plain and he cannot develop in that area anyway. <br />It had been suggested that if the channel was crossed by a <br />culvert near Mr. Hansen's home, the grade will be so steep that <br />it would violate City Code. Mr. Adamson indicated that the grade <br />PAGE 6 <br />222 <br />
