February 12, 1979 Page 4 <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he recalled from the hearing that if <br />services were put in, they would have to go on one side of Silver Lake <br />Road, which would double the cost. He added that until it can be deter- <br />mined if there are buildable lots all the way through, development should <br />not be approved. He added that he was concerned with putting services <br />in and then finding that they could not assess the cost for some of the <br />lots, which would leave the City to pick up the tab. He asked if a <br />petition of 35% of the property owners would be submitted to the City. <br />Mrs. Kramer replied that she could not get 35% because Dailey Knolls <br />wants to put their own in and other property owners are either against <br />having the services put in or refuse to sign a petition. Mr. Celt <br />added that Dailey Knolls could put their services in for less than what <br />they would be charged for a public improvement project, so they would <br />not want to go with a group project. <br />Official Rose reported that when the previous Council had reviewed the <br />issue last year they had told the owner to meet the code requirements, <br />which necessitated him buying additional property. He added that the <br />owner plans on just building on half of the large lot, Lot 7. <br />John Winnikee, 7575 Groveland Road stated he owned half of Lot 6 and <br />that he was concerned with drainage if the lots were going to be built <br />up, since there might be a problem with run -off. Mayor McCarty replied <br />that the driveways and front yards will be graded to drain to Silver <br />Lake Road. Official Rose added that the sewer on Groveland has the <br />capacity to handle the additional development and that Staff has dis- <br />cussed it with Short, Elliott and Hendrickson. There is a 30" culvert <br />which drains under Silver Lake Road and a 30" culvert which drains the <br />Kraus- Anderson property to the south, and the two culverts are more <br />than adequate for a five year storm. He added that Short, Elliott and <br />Hendrickson's finding was that the proposed development would not be <br />harmful. <br />Lloyd Scott, 5100 Red Oak Drive, stated that if there was a problem with <br />drainage, the City most likely would be responsible for putting in fill. <br />Attorney Meyers pointed out that there are several property owners and <br />the City would have to prove that the amount of assessment improved <br />the lot by that much. He added that benefit could not be proven for Lot <br />6. Attorney Meyers also stated that with multiple owners, there was a <br />problem with collecting from them to front -end the project. <br />Mr. Kramer stated that Dailey Knolls and his parents could both put in <br />their own services at a lower cost than a public improvement project <br />but that they should remember the middle man. <br />Attorney Meyers reported that when Silver Lake Road was put in several <br />years ago, there had been considerable discussion then if utilities <br />should be put in. <br />Mr. Celt stated that he had received a letter from the City on August <br />22, 1978 which stated that two requirements would be to loop water mains <br />and put in fire hydrants. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he was not convinced that there were <br />not other alternatives to putting services in for the other lots. <br />
