Mayor Johnson reported that Council has discussed the open - endedness
of the Mermaid Bowling Alley at their agenda meeting and decided that
if the bowling alley was not under construction by a certain date
that the building permit may be retracted.
Mayor Johnson said he would like to give them until a certain time
next spring for construction to be started.
Attorney Meyers said a policy to this effect could be written.
MSP (Johnson - Shelquist) to adopt a policy with regard to the
Mermaid Lounge Bowling Alley that construction must be commenced
and appropriate fees at the time of construction of the Bowling Alley be
paid.
Councilman Shelquist thought that the permit should have a six month
restriction on completion time.
MSP (Shelquist- Johnson) to amend motion to place a six month limit
on the length of time that construction may be in progress after
initiation of construction.
Engineer Bearden presented a report to the Council on temporary
drainage improvements for storm water ponding north and south
of Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Fairchild Avenue.
Water tight manholes with control inlets at the two backyard
catch basins could be constructed for approximately $360.00.
Or, a less permanent type construction could be tried to see
what problems may occur. This could be accomplished by constructing
a sand bag dike around each of the two catch basins to prevent water
that may come out of the catch basins from running into the back
yards of the adjacent property. If this method is employed the
run -off from the surface that normally gets into the catch basins
may have to be pumped over the sand bag dike into the catch basins.
It is recommended that if this method is employed that boulevard
sections be checked and graded higher, if required, to provide
water storage on the streets without overflowing the boulevards.
Mr. Roger Grosse, 2757 Ardan Avenue, suggestsconcrete pipe be used
instead of the sand bags.
Engineer Bearden said it would be possible on the north of Ardan but
on the south side it is more complicated.
MSP (Baumgartner - Shelquist) to accept the engineer's recommendation
as a temporary solution to put in a concrete pipe at a size, height
and diameter as determined by the city engineer for the rear of the
property north of ardan and sand bag the catch basin just off of
Red Oak Drive south of Ardan and to proceed post haste.
