City Council meeting of September 21, 1998 Page 4 The Council approved Mr. Peterson's request that interest earned by awarded him for his cash deposits required for the project. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to approve the Development Agreement for the Beaver Ponds Development, Phase 1. All aye. Motion Carried. FINAL PLAT APPROVAL BEAVER PONDS) The Council considered the final plat and engineer's report for the Beaver Ponds subdivision. Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, to accept the City Engineer's recommendation and approve the final plat for the BEAVER PONDS SUBDIVISION, PHASE 1. All aye. Motion Carried. Because of the right -turn lane to enter the development, there was discussion about whether there was adequate right of way to accommodate a bike path. ONEKA LAKE VIEW FINAL PLAT Ken Gust and Bruce Kerber were present questioning why final plat for Oneka Lake View was not on the agenda. They stated that they had provided the final plans to the City's Engineer approximately three weeks ago. Paul Hornby, the City Engineer's representative, stated that the City had met with the developers on Friday, September 18th, and there were two issues yet to be resolved: provide the City a 12' trail easement on the south side of the plat along Oneka Lake Boulevard, as well as the City's Water Resource Engineer approving a report prepared by GME on the impact of the development to ground water in the area. The developers requested the Council that they not be required to pay the $1,350 per lot dedication fee, as when they started the process, the City's fee was $500. The City Administrator stated that the City changed the fee prior to this plat receiving preliminary plat approval. There was discussion regarding the appropriateness of requiring the additional trail easement from the developer and its relationship to adjacent subdivisions. COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION PLAN The City received notice from Minnesota Planning Agency that it has not received a grant to assist in preparation in the City's proposed transportation study. Washington County has committed $10,000 towards the project, but has not responded to the City's request of September 11, 1998, to increase this amount. The proposed project cost for the transportation study, including the transportation facilities plan, traffic modeling, identifying critical management areas, preparing corridor improvement plans for TH61, CR8, and coordinating transportation planning with adjacent communities, is $55,000. Due to the lack of adequate time to fully discuss this issue, the following motion was made: Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to table this matter until a later date. All aye. Motion Carried.
