Mr. Gotwald said it is necessary to have preliminary plat approval from this City before the plat can be forwarded to the Rice Creek Watershed Board. He felt there will be some problems with the ponding requirements. It may be necessary to cut the number of lots. The hearing on Deer Pass Trail was called to order at 9:00 P.M. Mr. Locher read the notice of legal publication and the list of mailed notices. The cost figure in this notice was $8,478.00. Mr. Gotwald gave a brief history of the status of that street and listed three ways in which this matter can be handled; 1) assess all property owners; 2) asses only the property abutting Deer Pass Trail with the exception of Mr. Prokop; and 3) forget the whold matter. Mr. Gotwald presented the various cost figures for the ways in which this could be assessed. Mayor Karth asked if the present street would be harmed by the extra traffic created the the new home being constructed and Mr. Gotwald said regular car traffic does not harm the street surface - the heavy trash trucks or school busses could cause problems in the Spring. Mr. McLean asked about the condition of the street at the present and Mr. Gotwald said there is one spot that will need some routine main- tenance, but there has been no real damage to the street. Mayor Karth asked for questions from the audience and Mr. Wayne Ellison asked if the 2nd method included his extension and Mr. Gotwald said, No. He then asked if he would be involved in the upgrading of Deer Pass Trail? At the last meeting on this matter he had asked this question and had been told No. He wanted to know if he is still being considered for assessments. It was explained that all persons had been notified. According to State Law, names may be deleted from an assessment list, but not added if they have not been notified of the hearings. The original agreement had been two building permits only until the street was brought up to City specifications - Mr. Gotwald felt this agreement was slanted toward the platted lots abutting Deer Pass Trail. The new homes have been constructed on estension of that street. Mr. LaBuda, owner of the remaining lots was in favor of leaving the street as is. Mr. McLean asked, if these lots are sold, can the obligation be assigned and Mr. Locher said, Yes. Mr. Gotwald said this
