CREEKVIEW PRESERVE SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT As part of the Development Agreement for the Creekview Preserve subdivision, the developer is required to establish a homeowner's association to take responsibility for the wetlands and drainage areas within the plat. The developer requested that the City reconsider this requirement, as he believes it will be more expensive to administer the homeowners' association than to maintain the property. As a possible compromise, the City Attorney prepared an ordinance establishing a storm sewer improvement tax district for the subdivision. In principle, this would allow the City to construct improvements necessary to maintain the drainage in the area, and levy a special assessment against all that property within the tax district to pay for the improvements. Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, to schedule a public hearing for October 5, 1998, at 7:10 p.m. to consider adoption of an ordinance establishing a storm sewer improvement tax district with the meaning of MN Statute 444.16 et. Seq. All aye. Motion Carried.
