146 OPEN MIKE Robert Wasik, 1006 Lantern Lane read a prepared statement to the City Council regarding the construction work in Black Duck Estates. He explained that he and his neighbors agreed that the City was moving too fast with this development and felt that the new plat was no better than the plat previously submitted. There is no provision for a park, the ponding area is becoming a much larger area than anticipated and he and his neighbors were wondering if the Mosquito Control District would continue to spray the area as they are currently doing. Mr. Wasik also express concern because of the destruction of wildlife habitat. Mr. Wasik asked what the policy is regarding how early in the day and how late in day contractors can work. He noted that his wife works nights and is awaken very early in the morning by the noise from the heavy equipment. Mr. Wasik referred to a portion of land between the ponds and the backyards of the residents along Lantern Lane. He said it was his understanding that the new lot line would cross the pond and actually extend beyond the pond. There will be some lot owners who cannot cross the pond to maintain their property on the other side of the pond. Mr. Wasik felt this was not a good plan and asked who would be maintaining this property. He noted that currently the residents along Lantern Lane have been maintaining the area next to the ponds. Council Member Kuether asked if the residents along Lantern Lane could purchase the portion of lot on the north side of the pond. Mr. Schneider was not sure this could be done at this late date. Roger Lewis, 1010 Lantern Lane said he was concerned about the same issues as Mr. Wasik. In addition he was concerned about who would clean the area of trash and debris such as sections of drainage pipe. Mr. Schneider explained that the developer is responsible for cleaning the site because he is the property owner. Mr. Schneider has received calls regarding the noise and it . appears that the contractor is starting work very early in the morning. He will talk to the developer and let him know the policy regarding working hours. Mr. Schneider said that he plans to hold another neighborhood meeting very soon. He had hoped to wait until the developer had selected a contractor for the installation of the sewer and water utility lines. Mr. Schneider will mail residents notices of the meeting. Acting Mayor Neal asked that this matter be monitored and that Mr. Schneider contact the developer.
