-2- and schedule of how it would be constructed. Meyer said estimate by Suburban Engineering for laying and exten- sion of sewer, extension of water, storm sewer and ditch improvement and street grading is 1238 000 for construction only adding contingencies would run $340,000 to J40o,000. These figures were based on constructing bituminous curb and gutter; if concrete was required, figures would have to be adjusted. Johnson said the access to County 8A is a concern of the County Engineer. If there are any alternative layouts, it would be desireable to rearrange the layout with less driveways coming onto 8A. The exist- ing Valley View lst Addition has existed for several years, and Johnson doubts the feasibility of developing such a large new addition; it might be more desireable to develop it in smaller stages instead of taking such a big step at once; too many more people making a large impact on the city at once, needing more services, etc. Dennis Welsch said they are substantially in accordance with the subdivision ordinance. He feels drainage way is not a significant park dedication and other approaches should be looked at. questioned on-site sewage systems for Lots 1-5, Block one. Stated Martin Ziebel's report shows soil mottling at 4' in that area. Meyer said results of soil borings tatken August 9, 1968, were on record at the County Planner's office. Welsch agreed with Engineer that sewer should be kept in ded- icated right of way but if sewer is extended to the second phase of this project it should be made certain that a non=descriptive meandering ease- ment should be maintained so that in due time sewer could be extended. Feels concrete curb and gutters should be utilized rather than bitumin- ous, and Rice Creek Watershed must give approval. Meyer made following comments: Grace Development would dedicate 17' making a total of 50' on existing Valley View Terrace; they are work- ing on obtaining an easement for additional right of way for the except- ion to the new plat. They have examined the idea of putting the sewer right of way along Egg lake Road but it is more destreable for that plat to place it where it can:-.be utilized better. 0n Egg Lake Road it would benefit others more than Grace Development and should become a public assessment. Meyer said if soil mottling is present and on-site sewage systems were not allowed, sanitary sewer could be extended to these lots if a proposed lift station was constructed to the south of Block 1. Spitzer asked Welsch to check with County Highway Department regard- ing driveways entering 8A from Valley View 1st Addition. Tschida said Grace Development is willing to commit itself to orderly phasing. Meyer said they would still like to ask for variance for bituminous Curb and gutter. Amundson said similiar types are being used now but don't know if they could be considered a permanent arrangement. Spitzer opened discussion to audience. Gerald Bramstedt, 6104 N. Egg Lake Road: Is is possible to recess so audience may get better look at map? Spitzer: Yes, we will recess for 10 minutes. Recessed at 8:10 PM. Reconvened at 8:22PM. Ed Waugh: 13863 N. Forest Blvd.: Is that the ditch that borders our property - will it increase the flaw of drainage? Meyer: Yes, it is the ditch; ponding areas in our development will help reduce the flowage but yes, there will still be an increase. If an easement can be obtained, the ditch size will be increased thru Mr. Waugh's property at Grace Development's expense. By deepening and widening the ditch, it will generally decrease the size of the flood plain. Nothing on the north side of 8A will be increased.
