Mayor McCarty stated that in reply to Mr. Herold's letter, Staff had
checked the lot and found that the dirt that had been brought in had
been taken out as ordered, and that some dirt on the lot had been
bulldozed around, which was what was still evident on the lot. Mr.
Herold replied that he did not agree that all the dirt had been taken
out again.
Mayor McCarty stated that in reference to Mr. Herold's comments on
Official Rose presenting the developer's plan at the February 26 meeting,
that he had to take the responsibility for it as he had called Official
Rose in from the hallway and asked him to present the plan to inform
residents present and the Council since the developer was not present,
and that he now realized he had put him out on a limb by doing that. He
added that in the future, if a developer is not present to present his
own plan, they will not be discussing such proposals.
Councilmember Rowley added that Official Rose had not recommended approval
of the plan as Mr. Herold had stated, but rather than he recommended a
study be ordered to determine the feasibility of the plan and the drainage
system.
Mr. Herold stated that he felt developers should be required to carry
high liability coverage to compensate for any water damage they might
cause. Attorney Meyers replied that this is required under the licensing
requirements and that not less than $50,000 is required by ordinance now.
Mayor McCarty stated that he advocates preventive medicine and that the
problems will be worked out step by step.
