1 1 1 August 22, 1977 Mr. McLean presented the Council Actions on this matter. The soil reports were in the file as was the recommendations of the Rice Creek Watershed Board. This plat had received approval of the Rice Creek Watershed Board with some stipulations of soil erosion being controlled in order no to release sediment in the wetland to the East. The County Highway Department had asked for a 75' half right -of -way along Lake Drive. Mr. Gotwald had checked the soils report and noted that some of the lots would need spec- ial treatment. He suggested a copy of this report be given to the building inspector. After some discussion, Mr. McLean moved to approve this plat subject to the County High- way, Rice Creek Water Board, Planner and Engineer and according to the soil borings. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Karth moved to close the Public Hearing at 9:40 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Roger Kolstad appeared before the Council with a request to construct the South Street of the Air Park with a 24' driving surface. This had been approved at one time but when the street was to serve only the lots in the Air Park. This street is now on the section line and has opened the 40 acres to the South for development. Mr. Gotwald felt this would make it necessary for the full 30' driving surface to be in- stalled. Mr. Kolstad said part of the rough grading is already in and leveral lots are sold. He did say that both the South Street and the North Street will eventually connect with the streets in Sunset Oaks. Mr. McLean moved to require 30' driving surface on the South Street (Thomas) Street only. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. The Street on the North is entirely within the Air Park and has a 2' buffer between this property and the property to the North. This 2' becomes an outlot. There was discussion of requiring the developer of the land to the North being forced to put another street parallel to the North Street -of the Air Park. After some discussion, Mr. McLean moved that the North Street be established with a 30' driveing surface with Mr. Kolstad being allowed to put in half a street as to the depth of the material and limit the number of homes and any development on the North until the street is broughtup to City specifications. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kolstad presented a document from the property owner to the South for the 30' street easement. This is necessary for the filing of the plat. Mr. Karth moved to accept this document and authorize the Clerk and Mayor to sign. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher said he had searched the title on this plat and there are some questions being cleared. There are two pipeline easements through the property - one a blanket easement which must be reduced and a release on the second easement since it was never used. This does not effect the platting of the property, but could effect the salability of the lots. Mr. Kronholm was present to discuss the problem of West Shadow Lake Drive. There was discussion on the cost of the installation of this Street and the amount of the cost that will be assumed by Anoka County. The upgrading of the shoulders was a concern. There was some discussion on the participation of the property owners in this cost. After some time, Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Volk to get two informal bids for the cost of surfacing this street. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
