September 12, 1977 Page 6 <br />Councilmember Rowley also stated that she did not have any great problems with the <br />development, as long as the proposed parking lot would still hook up with the pre- <br />sent storm sewer connection. She also stated that she would be interested in seeing <br />what the different agencies had to say about the development, once the 30 days is up. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth asked if the developer had reviewed the list of recommendations <br />from the Staff, such as sidewalks and so forth. <br />Administrator Achen stated that the Staff recommends that the north side of County <br />Road H2 be curbed and guttered and a sidewalk installed. He pointed out that the <br />Silverview Community Park is planned for the area and would generate traffic and <br />increase the need for sidewalks. He also pointed out that it would be easier and <br />more economical to install them at the time of development rather than later. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that there were several loose ends he would like to <br />see cleared up before making a final decision on the development. Administrator <br />Achen stated that the development could be approved with stipulations that all <br />the requirements be met in the development agreement. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he would like it clarified what was meant by tree <br />cuts within 12 feet of the final grade. He also asked what type of controls would <br />be placed upon the developer once the area was graded. <br />Mr. Nelson replied that where the sewer and water lines go through, they would <br />require up to 10 feet of area. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he would also like to see some control by the <br />City on the phasing to insure that water problems do not occur. He pointed out that <br />no one could predict the amount of rain that will be coming. He also stated that <br />he believes the property owners on the south side of County Road H2 have a legitimate <br />complaint about dust control and recommended that the developer attempt to control <br />it <br />Ms. Silouc asked why the developer did not put in single family homes rather than <br />duplexes. Mr. Saabi replied that they had decided to develop the area with <br />duplexes due to the economics of it and pointed out that they would be in at least <br />the $70,000 price range. He also pointed out the duplexes that had recently been <br />built in New Brighton as an example of the quality of home. <br />Mayor Pickar asked if the recommendations should include having John Capetz, the <br />owner of the triangular piece of property at the intersection of Long Lake Road <br />and Highway 10 included in the plat. Attorney Meyers replied that Mr. Capetz would <br />have to sign the plat. <br />Administrator Achen reported that Mr. Capetz's property is presently unbuildable. <br />Councilmember Hodges asked if Mr. Capetz was in favor of the development and plat. <br />Administrator Achen replied that he was, to his knowledge. <br />Mr. Saabi stated that they had contacted Mr. Capetz with an offer of purchasing his <br />property, which Mr. Capetz turned down. Mr. Saabi also asked if the proposed side- <br />walk would be required to go past Donatelle's parking lot. Mayor Pickar replied <br />that it would. <br />Administrator Achen stated that the sidewalk would be required to go past the park- <br />ing lot as the City would like to connect a whole network of sidewalks, rather than <br />having small, isolated areas with sidewalks. He also raised the issue of who would <br />
