COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 12, 1988 Wierseman is not required to have this road installed, it is placed on the map to show the possible layout of streets when the area is completely developed. Mr. Wierseman also noted that the area north of his property is not develped as layed out on the map. Mr. Stahlberg explained that this is one possible layout and this is done to be sure that no property is isolated. The City is not telling the landowner that he must develop, it is just showing what can be done. Thomas Brunner, 270 Linda Avenue said he owns approximately one acre of land and asked why the City cannot find access to Highway #49 from another location rather than Linda Avenue. He noted a possible access point about one - fourth of a mile south of Linda Avenue through the Wesley Jensen property. Mr. Stahlberg noted that the Jensen property was zoned for commercial use and it is normal to keep the residential traffic isolated from the commercial traffic. Mary Ann McDougal, 6116 Baldwin Lake Drive said she had three concerns: 1) the road bordering the east boundary of her property. She asked if she sold her land, would she be assessed for services and what would be the cost per front foot. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the present policy is that there is no assessment until the property is connected to services and if the land is developed later, the developer pays the assessments. The costs have been running from $11,000 to $13,000 per regular city sized lots. Assessments on corner lots are some what larger since they usually are larger lots with larger frontages. The connection charge and the area charge is the same for any sized lot. Ms. McDougal's.second question concerned runoff from the Woodridge Estates plat. She noted the creek that runs from Woodridge Estates onto her property and asked that this creek be moved to the property boundary rather than through her preperty. Mr. Stahlberg said this could be done. Ms. McDougal was also concerned about the ditch running onto her property from the north. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the RCWD requires that neighboring properties. cannot dump water onto the adjacent property at a faster rate than what is occuring natually. If the area to the north is developed, controls would be required to keep the flow at it's current rate. Ms. McDougal noted Mr. Stahlberg's concern regarding not creating landlocked parcels. She suggested placing an easement of the west property line of Woodridge Estates so PAGE 9
