City Council meeting of April 5, 1993 Page 4 obtain these easements, and has been only been partially successful. The Hugo City Council approved a preliminary plat of the Country Fonds subdivision on August 5, 1991. Condition #23 of the preliminary plat approval stated, "An agreement of easement shall be secured for ditch maintenance to accommodate surface --water drainage to the east (Parcels #93029--650 and 91029-2900)." Information received from the City Attorney, the City Engineer, and the RCWD indicate that these easements are not necessary for the project to proceed, and it may be questionable, legally, for the City to require a developer to obtain drainage easements across the property of a third party. Staff recommends the Council relieve Arlington Properties of the requirement to obtain the easements stated under Condition #2.3 of the preliminary plat approval, and allow Arlington Properties to submit a final plat without the specified easements. After a lengthy discussion about drainage ditches and easements, the following motion was made: Leroux made motion, Mi.ron seconded, to postpone action on this request until the meeting of April 19, 1993, to allow time for the Cit;. Attorney to review easement requirements for this project, and further engineering review of the proposal. All aye. Notion Carried.
