M/S/P Hunt/Dunn — to direct the City Engineer and Maintenance crew investigate the water problem on Legion Avenue with all possible speed to implement the solution and resolve the problem as soon as possible. (Motion passed 5-0). Al Henning, 2921 Legion Avenue, asked who sets the grades? Now the house behind him in the Heritage Development is 6' above grade. Prew will check the grading plan to make sure they are following the submitted plan. Also there is a new stake 20' west into his property and would like that checked out. Jim McNamara, Building Official, stated he does not check on the grades when he makes inspections. Molly Winkels stated this is a delicate area and asked if Legion Pond has been evaluated as to how much water the pond could hold. Prew responded the Herzfeld property does not increase water to Legion Pond, but should go to Reid Park. The City Engineer will send residents in area a letter of the progress resolving the problem. 7. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. (1). Minor Subdivision: Richard Wicka/Frauenshuh Companies and the Northland Properties c/o United Properties (George Burkards). This is a request by Richard Wicka/Frauenshuh Companies and Northland Properties/United Properties for a minor subdivision of a 102.29 acre parcel of land into two parcels of approximately 91.84 acres and 10.45 acres. The property is located on the southeast corner of Inwood Avenue and Hudson Blvd, in the BP, Business Park Zoning District. Attorney Filla recommended the Council take action on the minor subdivision and set aside a process for coming to some reasonable conclusion with the developer on a park dedication fee for this property. It would be better to take the entire project into consideration and take a look of what they are providing on site that would fit into the recreational dedication provision so that the credit apply uniformly throughout the development instead of looking at a parcel by parcel basis. If you look at the overall site, the City may want a combination of land and money that is a reasonable dedication. This will have to be resolved before the City can record the resolution. George Burkards explained when he talked to the City staff they talked about a park and park trail system where there is a stream through the property and into the culvert, but we have not gone into detail. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp — to adopt Resolution No. 97-49, A Resolution granting a minor subdivision to Richard Wicka/Frauenshuh Companies and the Northland Properties c/o: United Properties (George Burkards); conditioned upon a park dedication fee of 3% (maximum) of the value of land or cash or combination to be negotiated by City staff with the Developer/Landowner and agreement approved by the City Council, a utility easement conveyed to City prior to construction of building based on the Findings in the City Planner's report and the recommendation for approval by the Planning Commission.
