Councilmember Rowley also stated that she did not have any great problems with the
development, as long as the proposed parking lot would still hook up with the pre-
sent storm sewer connection. She also stated that she would be interested in seeing
what the different agencies had to say about the development, once the 30 days is up.
Councilmember Ziebarth asked if the developer had reviewed the list of recommendations
from the Staff, such as sidewalks and so forth.
Administrator Achen stated that the Staff recommends that the north side of County
Road H2 be curbed and guttered and a sidewalk installed. He pointed out that the
Silverview Community Park is planned for the area and would generate traffic and
increase the need for sidewalks. He also pointed out that it would be easier and
more economical to install them at the time of development rather than later.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that there were several loose ends he would like to
see cleared up before making a final decision on the development. Administrator
Achen stated that the development could be approved with stipulations that all
the requirements be met in the development agreement.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he would like it clarified what was meant by tree
cuts within 12 feet of the final grade. He also asked what type of controls would
be placed upon the developer once the area was graded.
Mr. Nelson replied that where the sewer and water lines go through, they would
require up to 10 feet of area.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he would also like to see some control by the
City on the phasing to insure that water problems do not occur. He pointed out that
no one could predict the amount of rain that will be coming. He also stated that
he believes the property owners on the south side of County Road H2 have a legitimate
complaint about dust control and recommended that the developer attempt to control
it
Ms. Silouc asked why the developer did not put in single family homes rather than
duplexes. Mr. Saabi replied that they had decided to develop the area with
duplexes due to the economics of it and pointed out that they would be in at least
the $70,000 price range. He also pointed out the duplexes that had recently been
built in New Brighton as an example of the quality of home.
Mayor Pickar asked if the recommendations should include having John Capetz, the
owner of the triangular piece of property at the intersection of Long Lake Road
and Highway 10 included in the plat. Attorney Meyers replied that Mr. Capetz would
have to sign the plat.
Administrator Achen reported that Mr. Capetz's property is presently unbuildable.
Councilmember Hodges asked if Mr. Capetz was in favor of the development and plat.
Administrator Achen replied that he was, to his knowledge.
Mr. Saabi stated that they had contacted Mr. Capetz with an offer of purchasing his
property, which Mr. Capetz turned down. Mr. Saabi also asked if the proposed side-
walk would be required to go past Donatelle's parking lot. Mayor Pickar replied
that it would.
Administrator Achen stated that the sidewalk would be required to go past the park-
ing lot as the City would like to connect a whole network of sidewalks, rather than
having small, isolated areas with sidewalks. He also raised the issue of who would
