184 November 13, 1978 The problems with hunters was discussed in general. Mr. Peter Scherer asked what is needed by the City in order to ban all hunting. He felt that homes have filled the area to the point where not hunting should be allowed. Mr. Schneider felt that something definite should be set up before the next hunting season. He suggested setting an open meeting for discussion of both pro and con on this subject. After some discussion, Mr. Schneider moved to set an open meeting for discussion of the hunting problem for February 12, 1979 at 9:00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion declared passed. The Public Hearing on Carole's Estates II was called to order at8 :45 P.M. Mr. Lcoher read the notice of legal publication. Mr. Tramm presented a letter from the Rice Creek Watershed Board that he had picked up this date. Mr. Tramm presented the Council with a revised copy with all the suggested changes incorporated. Mayor Karth questioned the commercial designation on the lots bordering Old Highway #8, will this extend into the lots abutting the rear of these commercial lots? On consulting the map, it was found that it would not. There was some discussion on the problems being created by the ponding areas. It was felt the requirement for these ponding areas is changing the water table and creating a problem for the home owners in that there could be a problem with water in basements. The ponding areas are being required by the Rice Creek Watershed Board and no provisions are being made for the maintenance of these areas. Mr. Moble felt that the number of these ponding areas being required in all the plats now in the process of being developed will cause future problems in this City. Since this plat has the approval of the City Engineer, Mr. McLean moved to approve the plat, with money to be received for parks in the amount of $3,850.00 before the signing of the final plat and lots 12 through and including 21 have a commercial notation on the deeds. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. Mr. McLean felt that Mr. Mobley has a valid point on these ponding areas and felt that this Council should meet with a representative from that Board and discuss the problem. The Clerk was asked to contact the Rice Creek Watershed Board and set a special meeting as soon as possible. Mr. McLean moved to close the hearing at 9:05 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. Mr. Bob Peterspn presented the Council with petitions signed by property owners in Lakes Addition #2 plat for the extension of the sewer, water, storm sewer, streets, curbs and gutters. Mr. McLean asked what percentage of the overall plat does these signatures represent and Mr. Peterson wasn't sure. These petitions are not dated. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Peterson to indicate the lot /lots owned by the person signing the petition have the documents dated. Mr. Peterson agreed to do this. Mr. McLean also felt that if a feasibility study is ordered for this project and the project is not done, then the cost of this study should be paid for by the persons signing the petition. Mr. Peterson was advised to check with Mr. Gotwald on the approximate cost for a feasibility study.
