1 1 COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 13,1995 to sign the document. The second condition stated that the developer or the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) must take responsibility for cleaning the culvert under Elmcrest Avenue. RCWD has assumed that responsibility and the culvert has been cleaned. All other conditions of the preliminary have been met to the satisfaction of City staff and required landscaping is in place on Otter Lake Road.Ms. Wyland recommended approval of the final plat for Clearwater Creek, Phase 1. Mayor Reinert noted that this subdivision has been controversial. However, he explained that this subdivision requires the extension of sewer and water utilities into this area. Utility services are needed for commercial development. Mayor Reinert also noted that earlier in this meeting, the Council was informed about the potential for a health clinic in the area which would require municipal utilities. He felt that potential commercial and industrial growth to the north of this subdivision hinged on the approval of this subdivision. Council Member Kuether noted that she had heard that the models under construction in the Clearwater Creek subdivision start at about $275,000.00. Council Member Bergeson noted that this is probably the first final plat presented to the City Council that does not have any contingencies placed on it. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the final plat form Clearwater Creek, Phase 1. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Minor Subdivision, UDOR U.S.A., 500 Apollo Drive - Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector to show where UDOR U.S.A. constructed a building in the Apollo Business last fall. Their original parcel of property consisted of one (1) acre. UDOR U.S.A. has determined the need for an additional 10 feet along the westerly property line to allow increased maneuvering and driveway area for delivery vehicles serving their property. The City has agreed to sell UDOR U.S.A the additional 10 feet and a survey has been prepared describing this parcel. The timing of this subdivision is good as it coincides with the sale of three (3) acres immediately west of this parcel and a minor subdivision for Fogerty/Custom Remodelers. UDOR U.S.A. will share a driveway access with Fogerty/Custom Remodelers. The property in question is zoned General Industrial and contains a 6,000 square foot office/warehouse building. The City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates the property as Industrial. Minimum lot area in an industrial district is one (1) acre. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this request and concurred with the staff recommendation of approval with the condition that a five (5) foot drainage and utility easement be provided along the entire length of the westerly property line. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the minor subdivision with the additional five (5) foot drainage and utility easement. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
