Mounds View City Council December 14, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Four proposal is not in compliance with the City's Wetland Ordinance. The boundary of the wetland is not accurate on the developer's plat. Of great importance and concern to me is the fact that the Army Corp of Engineers permit has been rescinded. Given these concerns and other questions raised by Barr, I don't think that the Council can possibly approve this proposal as it is before us today. I urge other members of this Council to vote "no Jim Senden, representing the Harstad Company on the Greenfield Estates project, reviewed the history of the project over the past year, stating they have granted the City extensions twice, and that on November 16, the City's consultant presented a verbal report regarding the project and requesting the Harstad Company to do additional studies and make changes to the preliminary plat. He stated this was done, as requested, at a cost to the Harstad Company, and was presented to the City on December 4. He further stated that on December 7, the Council considered the revised documents and decided additional time was needed to study the changes, and at that time, Barr Engineering presented a partial report, and the Council felt then, and Harstad Company agreed, that more time was needed to study some of the changes. Mr. Senden stated they acknowledge that some of the changes were necessary due to some errors made in the original calculations, and he requested a 30 day extension of time for the City to consider the new material, stating that it should be presented and fully considered before any action is taken on the matter. Mr. Senden reviewed some of the changes that had been made, and he discussed the impact of the ditch on the property, stating they do not need an outlet or ditch for this development, but they did allow the City an access easement so that the ditch could be cleaned. Mr. Senden explained that one of the items Barr had requested be done was to have the area of the development restaked, which was done, and in the restaking, it was decided some of the boundries would have to be moved in some areas, which would then change the layout. He reviewed those changes that were subsequently made, due to both the recon- figuration and to meet requests of the area residents. He stated they are still proposing outlots A and B be deeded to the City to offset their variance request.
