Engineer Bearden felt it should be the responsibility of Mr. Harstad's Engineer
to prepare a grading plan.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if he was going to develop the lots himself or sell
them. Mr. Harstad said he does both.
Acting Mayor Hodges felt a hearing should be set for Edgewood Drive.
Mr. Harstad said he is trying to get this plat approved. He said the mayor was
talking about two separate things. He said it is fine that the hearing for
the road be set but couldn't he have approval on his plat.
Rice Creek Watershed requested additional information regarding drainage in
December 1973. Edgewood very much has to be considered along with the plat.
If we put the road on top and things start to settle what will this do to the
sewer. This is a public hearing on the plat and is the only public hearing
necessary.
Councilman Shelquist read a letter from RCWS District concerning the east
central portion of the plat. He said after the tornado in 1965 the ditch was
cleaned out.
Acting Mayor Hodges asked if water would drain or back up into the homes north
of the plat.
Engineer Bearden said there is a fairly good outlet east in the swamp but it
tends to back up.
Mr. Harstad asked if he could have approval of the plat if he accepted a mora-
torium development of the east eight lots until all the studies are in.
Attorney Meyers said there are two things that can be done:
1) plat the west side and forget about the east side, 2) approve the whole plat
and record the instrument with encumbrances.
Mr. Harstad said he will do it anyway Council asks if he can just get something
recordable for Bona Road.
Councilman Baumgartner said Engineer Bearden just got the information this
afternoon at three. Why does Mr. Harstad always wait until the last moment and then
push the Council for a rush decision? These homes he has sold were started almost
a year ago. He should have requested Council approval then. Engineer Bearden
said he had seen the plat previously but there are some things he requested that
Mr. Harstad has not done yet.
MS (Baumgartner- Hodges) to table the subdivision request of Keith Harstad until
the 9th of June awaiting adequate grading information, study by city engineer
and Rice Creek Watershed approval.
Councilman Shelquist didn't see how Council could divorce the platting from the
overall drainage, street and development problems in the area.
MSP (Shelquist - Baumgartner) to include the reccommendations of Engineer Bearden
that the grade level for Edgewood Drive be proposed by the developer and based
on that assumed grade level, the plat plan should show elevations of each lot
in the subdivision.
Vote on main motion.
Councilman Shelquist said the Planning Commission has tabled the subject of
Edgewood Drive pending receipt of the same information.
Public hearing adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
