IIIMounds View City Council Page Seven Regular Meeting October 10, 1994 Ms. Strupman explained that the hold up of this project is putting undue stress on her parents as they are attempting to ascertain property in Arizona. Ms. Strupman asked the Council to approve the preliminary plat so the project can move forward. Mayor Linke stated that the development had not come before the Council until two weeks ago. Harrington reported that the project was forwarded to the City Council during a work session in July. The Planning Commission's recommendation set a contingency that the storm water issue had to be approved by the City Engineer. The Council reviewed this project and noted the contingencies on the project from the Planning Commission and the Council wanted those contingencies taken care of. The applicant approached the Rice Creek Watershed District because of a wetland noted on the project, the applicant had to have the wetland delineated and then had to obtain the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District which was not approved until September 14, 1994 at the Rice Creek Watershed District meeting. Jan Strupman stated that she would appreciate the Council approving the preliminary plat for the project. • Jon Wilcek, Engineer for the project, stated that it was the developer's responsibility to address the Rice Creek Watershed District, but stopping all progress on the project upset him. Wilcek stated that his concern is that the bituminous plants will close in 30 days and if the City would go through with preliminary approval with contingencies, possible some construction could begin. If the project is delayed another three weeks, there could be snow falling. Wilcek stated that he can work with the engineer and can come to an agreement. Wilcek further stated that he could come to agreement on the contingencies. Councilmember Trude asked if the only issue that would have a contingency would be the calculations. Harrington stated that the storm water issues are the issues that remain. Discussion followed by the Council regarding the issues that could be problems with this project. Councilmember Quick brought up the issue of the water main and Councilmember Trude brought up again the issue of the storm water. Councilmember Trude asked which other project in the City had problems. Mayor Linke identified it as a development in Red Oak. Councilmember Quick asked Harrington if the applicants had contacted the Engineer recently. • City Harrington explained that the Engineer and himself had been out of town. g P g
