Motion (Hodges) to approve the existing plat just for building on Bona Road side, Lots 9 through 16 stipulating no building be done on Edgewood side until the road is put in and drainage problem taken care of. (Mayor Johnson asked if this was platting all 16 lots.) Councilman Hodges said no building on lots 1 through 8 until the street goes through and proper drainage system is in. - Motion died for lack of second. Attorney Meyers said the problem is not with Mr. Harstad agreeing but with his successors on the property. MSP (Baumgartner - Pickar) to approve Greenfield Plat #3 including only Lots 9 through 16 (Lots 1 - 8 will not be part of the subdivision). Lots 9 thru 16 will now be called Lots 1 thru 8. These lots are on the west side of the property bordering Bona Road. Mr. Harstad felt Council would be better off approving the whole plat because all the easements are provided for in the whole plat. Councilman Baumgartner said Mr. Harstad would get a basement full of water if we only get 1/2 of the easement. Mayor Johnson asked about the size of easements on the north/south and east /west line. Engineer Bearden suggested the east /west drainage ditch carries a substantial amount of water, about four feet deep and one side should be wider than the other for a place for equipment. Motion continued that the east /west easement on Lot 4 be 10 feet wide and on Lot 5 -30 feet; north /south easement 15 feet either side. Outlot A (Lots 1, 2, 3, & 4) and B (Lots 5, 6, 7, 8) no building permits will be issued on these lots until the subdivision is approved. Mark exhibit A. Drainage easement of 10' and 30' will also run to Outlots A & B. Councilman Shelquist states he has reservations on developing anything until the water problem, road, drainage system, swales are put in and this could not be done until road is completed. Mayor Johnson has reservations also. He understands Mr. Harstad's anxiety about getting the lots developed but the City does not need any more problems with people with water in basements. Mr. Harstad said he has absolute legal right to this plat in fact this was the purpose of having the hearing. Attorney Meyers reflected he may have a point but what the court would say in a case like this is not known. Shelquist Naye Pickax Aye Baumgartner Aye Hodges Aye Johnson Naye Attorney Meyers asked if Mr. Harstad owned at least 35% of the property on r' wood. Mr. Harstad said yes, he owned about 50% and had already petitioned for the road and it is still open.
