On behalf of Harstad Co.'s, Mr. Keith Harstad has made application to the City to subdivide a 24.75 acre tract of land into 48 single family lots. The property in question is zoned single family urban and located south of County Rd. 8A between Highway 61 and Goodview Ave. (part of the NEJ of Section 29, T31, R21W, in the City of Hugo). On August 13, 1986 the planning commission reviewed the sketch plan and made five recommendations. The Harstad Companies have complied with the special conditions and the petitioners are now requesting the preliminary plat be reviewed for approval by the commission. The city engineer has completed a feasibility report which can be reviewed in its entirety in the clerk's office. We would recommend that if the planning commission recommends approval of this subdivision it be sub- ject to 17 special conditions. Mr. John Johnson and Dick Wedell presented the Harstad Co.'s plan with revisions. The original proposal indicated three holding ponds. One has been eliminated identified as pond 412. The other ponds have been moved further from the homes. Harstad will extend the existing sewer east on 8A and loop it through the devel- opment. Rice Creek Watershed has approved the subdivision plan and are pleased that the development releases the water from the property at a rate slower than it is currently being released. Mr. Johnson stated they will not be modifying the protected wetlands in any way. The area identified as pond 412 will have water only during a heavy rain. This water will drain through a pipe into pond 413. Ponds 1 & 3 will contain approximately 3-5 feet of water each. The RCWD required that the ponding areas be physically separate from the ditch. Mr. Johnson stated that the backyards where pond 2 was prosed will be lower than they are now but will not contain water. Stone rubble /will placed around the culvert to keep silt and sand from filling the culvert and allow proper drainage. These stones will be grouted to remain in place. These stones are also placed at the down end of the culvert and the culvert will have a control structure to allow for the release of the water. The ponds will have a 6 to 1 slope which is quite gradual. There are 9 existing lots along 8A where construction is proposed as soon as possible. However, Harstad understands that no certificates of occupancy will be issued until utilities are installed. It is proposed that in the event the remainder of the pro- perty is developed the two roads running basically north and south will be extended to serve the south area. Properties with drainage easements will have this noted on the deeds. Mr. Johnson stated they understand that it will be/obligation of the property owners to maintain these drainage easements.
