13 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 13, 1995 development. He also said he understood that the developer does not own any other parcel adjacent to the current preliminary plat. Mr. Emmerich explained that he does have a purchase agreement on four (4) parcels south of this preliminary plat. He noted the location of the four (4) parcels and explained that these parcels are not directly connected to the preliminary plat. There is a 20 acre parcel owned by Jay Caine separating the preliminary plat from the other four (4) parcels. Council Member Bergeson noted that whether the entire 400 plus homes ever develop depends on the willingness of some property owners adjacent to the preliminary plat to be involved. In the southeast corner there are a number of property owners. Mr. Powell explained that the cost of the trunk utilities was based on only the preliminary plat that is before the City Council and not the entire 400+ home proposal. The first two (2) phases would pay for the well and the lift station and payment of these facilities does not depend on whether the development continues to the south and east. Council Member Elliott asked if there is a time table for the development. Mr. Powell explained that the critical element is how soon the well and pump house could be constructed. It is estimated that these utilities could be on line by September, 1995 and this is probably the same time line that the developer is considering for marketing some of the first homes. Mayor Reinert asked how many lots are available for construction at this time. He noted that in the case of Trappers Crossing, the City Council had asked for participation by the developer in the upgrading of the street that will be impacted by the development. Mayor Reinert asked why this developer was not asked to participate in the upgrading of the street impacted by the subdivision. Mr. Powell noted the difference in this case is that Otter Lake Road is a county road. The developer is responsible for the cost of the construction of the roadway through the main portion of the subdivision which will be a MSA roadway. MSA funds will be used to finance the additional cost of the street. Mayor Reinert asked why the developer of Trappers Crossing was required to participate in the cost of upgrading Holly Drive. Mr. Powell explained that this roadway is not a County road and lacks shoulders and would have to be upgraded to appropriately handle the traffic generated from the Trappers Crossing subdivision. He noted that if total concept of Clearwater Creek was constructed with 400+ homes, Otter Lake Road could still handle the additional traffic generated by the subdivision. Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Sohrweide if he felt that even in the event that the entire development was completed with 400+ homes, PAGE 14
