September 12, 1977 Page 8 <br />9. Each lot be limited to one driveway exit. <br />10. The developer maintain the proper dust control. <br />11. The Council not give final approval of the development until they have <br />received the report back from the EQB. <br />Councilmember Rowley recommended that proper care be taken in the removal of the <br />trees as damage to the trees would most likely result in their loss. <br />Administrator Achen recommended that the City be assured that Lot 11 of Block 1, <br />1st Addition be purchased and used as a parking lot for Donatelle's. Attorney <br />Meyers stated that an agreement could be entered into with Donatelle's. <br />Mr. Rossman asked if the ponding area would be permanent. Mayor Pickar replied that <br />it would be temporary until the storm water drainage plan was put into effect, and <br />then it would no longer be required as a holding pond. <br />Administrator Achen suggested that the City might want to address itself to the future <br />use of the lot in the case that it is developed at a later date. He pointed out that <br />it is presently zoned B -1. <br />Official Rose explained that B -1 would allow businesses such as 7 -11, or small <br />retail, or a small office building, etc. <br />Attorney Meyers stated that he was concerned with the pond being isolated and going <br />back for taxes, since it would then be the City's property and they would be <br />responsible for keeping it up. He stated that the parcel would be designated <br />officially as a storm water holding area and that the parcel is not to be con- <br />sidered as part of a park dedication. <br />Mr. Rossman asked what the area would be classified as. Attorney Meyers replied <br />that it would retain its present zoning, B -1. Mr. Rossman asked if the City would <br />want a B -1 development put in there, such as a 7 -11. Attorney Meyers replied that <br />he was not worried about the zoning as much as declaring it as a storm water holding <br />pond and reserving the right for future rezoning. <br />Mr. Saabi reported that the area was largely peat and that an R -2 development could <br />not be built on it but that a large commercial building could. Councilmember Rowley <br />asked why a large building could be put on but not a small one. Mr. Saabi replied <br />that less soil preparation would be required and that while it would be possible to <br />put an R -2 development there, it would not be economical. <br />Mayor Pickar stated that he was uncomfortable with approving the development with <br />so many small questions remaining unanswered. <br />Official Rose pointed out that the City could look ahead and perhaps decide they <br />would like the area left open. Administrator Achen replied that the City could <br />not have its cake and eat it to, so to speak. <br />Mr. Zepper asked why a park could not be put in the area of the holding pond. <br />Administrator Achen replied that the area was considered small, being only 2.9 <br />acres while the Comprehensive Plan calls for parks of 4 -5 acres. He also pointed <br />out that small parks were more expensive to maintain. <br />
