1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />- 220 <br />COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 9, 1991 <br />ditch to the east of his home was plugged when the last house was <br />constructed on Lantern Lane. He also expressed concern about <br />placing additional houses on the current lift station which <br />appears to be unable to handle the current capacity. Mr. Jackson <br />said he felt it is not the cities business to make sure that <br />developers make money. He also said he felt that access to the <br />parks was a crucial concern. Mr. Jackson said he already has <br />water standing in his back yard and if drainage is not <br />controlled, he will have big problems and will scream at someone. <br />Nancy Jackson, 1044 Lantern Lane said she was very concerned <br />about the park dedication. She felt that providing parks would <br />be an asset to the developer and provide better customer <br />relations. She noted that safety of the children was another <br />concern. Mrs. Jackson explained she was "terrified" of driving <br />down Black Duck Drive because there are so many children playing <br />in and near the street. She noted that park land is apparently <br />available but not yet developed. Mrs. Jackson said the last she <br />heard there was no money available to develop the park. She also <br />noted that there was a park on the south side of Birch Street. <br />However, this park is not fully developed because there are no <br />park benches or swing sets available. <br />Mrs. Jackson felt the developer would be better off if he <br />developed a park because he is loosing sales and depreciating his <br />property without parks.

Mrs. <br />Jackson noted that the developer stated that park dedication <br />funds had already been dedicated. However, she felt that the <br />developer would be loosing sales by not putting in park trails so <br />that children could safely go to the nearby parks. <br />Wayne Felten, 6645 Black Duck Drive said he was concerned because <br />already one third of his lot is unusable because it is like a <br />sponge. He asked how will the water level be reduced and what <br />will happen if the rainfall and snowfall continue at the present <br />rate. <br />Virginia Doelz, 915 Birch Street express concern about the three <br />(3) lots that will back up to her property. She noted that the <br />new houses will have higher elevations than her property and <br />asked if there will be drainage from these homes unto her <br />property. Ms. Doelz also noted that she had a mound septic <br />system on her lot next to the three (3) lots and she asked how <br />these new houses would be developed and landscaped. She said she <br />did not want her investment going to the lake and contaminating <br />the lake. <br />Mayor Bisel explained that the law requires that each parcel or <br />subdivision must contain their own surface water and could not <br />PAGE 7 <br />
