Councilman Shelquist requested that we consider Item C on the Consent
Agenda.
Set public hearing on revision of boundaries of voting precincts
2 and 3 for 8:30 pm, Monday, July 12, 1976.
He questioned as to why they are setting a public hearing?
The administrator stated that it is staff's request. The report will
be available for Council before the hearing. They have to take
action on that matter by that time. We want to see how the citizens
will react to changing the polling places.
MSP ( Shelquist- Hodges) that we set a public hearing on revision of
boundaries of voting precincts 2 and 3 for 8:30 pm, Monday, July 12,
1976. 5 ayes
Donald Gimpel, 7500 Knollwood Drive, appeared before the Council.
He explained that last year he had a preliminary plat to split a lot,
he paid his fee, went to the Planning Commission and they said yes- -
but he had to provide fill and a drainage tile from the back of the
property to the street. This will cost him 2 - 3 thousand dollars.
The Planning Commission stated that if he wants his lot split that is
what you have to provide.
Councilman Baumgartner wanted to know who on the Planning Commission
had the expertise to say this and Councilman Shelquist stated that he
appeared on July 23, 1975, and it was tabled. The engineer was to look
at it.
Mr. Gimpel stated that the engineer recommended that the soil and water
resources man look at it.
Councilman Shelquist stated that he appeared again August 27. It
was again tabled.
Mr. Gimpel explained that they didn't appear a 3rd time because of the
cost. When he took the test the water was 51/2 feet- -that wasn't too
bad for as much water as they had. People across the street had
just taken out what they wanted for their basement, and filled the
rest in. They haven't put in extra fill other than the black dirt.
Mayor Johnson read the report from the Soil and Water Conservation
Resources.
The administrator asked who should the city make responsible for
solving drainage problems. The Council might want to consider some
kind of restriction on the issuing of building permits until problems
of inadequacies are solved.
Mayor Johnson suggested subdividing the lot and finding a buyer and then
have it put in the purchase agreement that a tile was necessary, etc.
The administrator stated that it could be a deed restriction. Somehow
the buyer has to be informed.
Mayor Johnson asked if we split the lot what about the lot that is
now low. Mr. Gimpel replied that his house is high and sandy lots
absorb a lot of rain.
Engineer Bearden stated that the Planning Commission request came
from Skiba. The consensus was that there were potential problems.
