LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING 10-4--83 Page 9 Discussion on the inspection procedures. Bohrer explained that resident inspection meant someone was placed at the site and observes the construction as it takes place. The City provides a spot inspection to make sure it conforms to plans and specifications but it is up to the developer to take care of it on a day to day basis. Peck - The items we would like to delete would be the 18" RCP, the 18" RCP apron and the outlet structure. Those are items we know need to be constructed but they are also items that hinge upon us obtaining an easement to bring it across to Lake Jane. At this point we may or may not need the City's help in obtaining the easement. If we simply build one home and at the same time do all of the grading and excavation of ponds the overflow, the drainage system would be substantially better than it ever has been, even without an outlet structure at this time. What we would like to do is be able to have time to work out whatever easement arrangements are necessary and put the outlet structure in next year and have the City accept this is good faith that if we deposit $30,000 in funds, we would be responsible enough to complete the rest of the work next year. All of the work would be completed by July 1, 1984. Bohrer stated that the pipes would not be critical for just a single home. Eder - But we would be approving the final plat in order for that house to get in there. Bohrer - Yes. The three lots within Teal Pass Estates. Eder - But all of this could be worked out in the wording in the development agreement. Bohrer - There may be an issue in terms of whether once you have approved a plat, what kind of restrictions you can put in building permits, but we don't believe that will be a problem. Bohrer - What I would have to do is take the bid proposal, and I would have to perform an estimate on it, deleting this 18" concrete pipe and control structure. Folz - We will send this out for bids probably Thursday (10-13- 83) and prior to your next Council meeting before the development agreement could be signed, we would have a contract and know exactly what the costs are. Bohrer - What we are asking is for the Council to give some direction to the City Engineer, the City Manager and the City Attorney that the matters we are discussing,ie: not having to bond for the one improvement, placing a cash escrow with the 9
