Official Rose stated they had run through a study and this system easily had the proper capacity and actually superceded it.

MSP (Rowley / Forslund) to request Short - Elliott- Hendrickson review the Gale Addition proposed specifications and grading plans for a recommendation and input prior to theapplicants submission of a development agreement and before the June 25 Council meeting. This is contingent upon the applicant's ability to fulfill the building requirements before that time. This review should be at the applicant's expense. 4 ayes MINOR SUBDIVISION -- BAYPORT BUILDERS- -7749 GREENWOOD DRIVE Official Rose reviewed the proposal for the property located on Greenwood Drive north of County Road I. The applicant was previously before the City for a major subdivision into 10 lots. The Planning Commission had approved the subdivision and sent to the Council. The applicant withdrew his request. He is now requesting subdivision of just one lot. The zone is single family (R -1), sewer and water are available at the street, and the lot size meets code requirements. The area is served by storm sewer but is inadequate for three -year storm and standing water has occurred in heavy rains. A catch basin is located south of the property. Councilmember Ziebarth questioned whether the applicant was trying to avoid the drainage requirements of Resolution #983 by going to a minor subdivision. Mr. Villella stated this was not true, that the reasons were the present market conditions and the costs involved to develop. Councilmember Ziebarth questioned how he planned to control the runoff on the property. Mr. Villella indicated his situation was the same as other neighboring residents and he had no specific plans. Mayor McCarty stated, according to City ordinances, they had the right to require it. Mayor McCarty stated the Council wanted to cooperate but it was his feeling Mr. Villella is attempting to vent the requirements. He further stated he felt the subdivision should be developed as a major. Mr. Villella stated he held a Purchase Agreement only on Lot #19. Councilmember Ziebarth stated that even if it wasn't a major subdivision, the developer should still have control of the runoff. Mr. Villella stated that his lot #19 is similar in contour as that of lot #46 across the street and he should be allowed to develop his lot in a similar manner. He stated he feels it is unfair of the City to make the developer improve the storm sewer in the area and he intends to improve the property without it. Mayor McCarty stated the lack of drainage control on his land could adversely affect the neighboring lots. Mr. Villella, referring to the time of his original request for major sub- division, stated he had wasted time and money in the process, and felt the Council was fighting him.
