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