There shall be no releasetreduction of any financial guarantees. All aye. Motion Carried. Councilman Haas discussed the property at 6178 Oneka Lake Boulevard (Christianson) stating that the driveway at that residence was eliminated upon platting of the property, and that a CUP would be required to allow a driveway to cross a drainage easement. The developer constructed a bituminous driveway recently, and it is a hazard to public safety and welfare. Haas made motion, Miron seconded, directing the City Attorney to prepare a Findings of Fact outlining Council reasons to have the driveway removed at 6178 Oneka Lake Boulevarfd, and serve notice on the developer that the driveway was installed without a permit and should be removed. All aye. Motion Carried. SOUTH ONEKA LAKE OUTLET/165m STREET DITCH PROJECT At its July 2, 2001 meeting, the Council listened to a presentation from Water Resource Engineer Pete Willenbring from WSB whereby he provided an update on the City's resource projects. Pete explained the South Oneka Lake Outlet/165m Ditch Project for Council, and the Council was supportive of the work to date. Since that time, staff received a request from a property owner asking the Council to reinitiate the project in order for the property owners to proceed with cleaning out of the 165' ditch. City staff recommended Council direct Mr. Willenbring to begin the process of updating the feasibility study as a public improvement project and involve any and all property owners and staff, as needed, to bring that information back to the Council for approval at a later date. Mr. Willenbring was at the meeting and discussed the background for this project and scope of work to be performed, which would cost between $3,800 and $5,400. Council members Granger and Petryk felt that it was too soon for them to authorize engineering work for this project, as they needed more information to make a decision. Miran made motion, Haas seconded, to schedule a Council workshop for October 9, 2001, City Hall, at 7:00 pm, to discuss the south Oneka Lake outlet/165'h ditch project with area residents. All aye. Motion Carried.
