Attorney Meyers stated that the property has been legally designated for town- <br />house use and at this stage the plat plan approval is the only question before <br />the Council. <br />Mr. Harstad stated that his site plan and final plat are exactly the same. The <br />only change is that the buildings on the West of the plat plan have been moved <br />15 feet closer to County Road H2, he has added 10 feet to each lot, and the section <br />of buildings on Greenwood have been moved closer to Long Lake Road. <br />Several residents of Red Oak Estates #2 voiced their protest against the town- <br />houses. <br />Mrs. Darwin Bosell, 2601 Ridge Lane stated they did not live here when this was <br />approved and they are concerned about the traffic pattern to the 34 units which <br />will be on Greenwood Drive. <br />Mayor Neisen commented that the total plan, total number of townhouses, total <br />number of exits were approved before one basement was dug and before one footing <br />was put in Red Oak Estates #2. This townhouse proposal was pre - planned. <br />Darwin Bosell said the Planning Commission led them to believe they could have <br />a public hearing on this and wanted to know about the drainage problem. Mayor <br />Neisen stated there already has been a public hearing and Engineer Bearden will <br />be working with Mr. Harstad as soon as he can get into the lower end of the <br />property he will dig the ditch. <br />Mr. Harstad stated he has not been able to complete the swal between County Road <br />H2 and Louisa Avenue because of rain. <br />Darwin Bosell asked if there was anything they could legally do that they were <br />not doing now. Attorney Meyers stated that this matter has been thoroughly heard <br />and the Planning Commission can only advise the Council. <br />David Berg, 2609 CJ.earview Avenue expressed the problem they are having with <br />water standing in yards and basements in the neighborhood. <br />Mr. Harstad commented on the question of whether or not he intends to rent the <br />townhouses.
