-3 - possibility of using a portion of the building as a day care center, although no definite plans have been made at this time. .Vern Peloquin presented proof of ownership, and a description of the property and location of sewer, also a signed and notarized document showing the easement from Mr. Oman of Twin Pines Trailer Park to the church, and also from Peloquin to Oman for storm water emptying onto Peloquin's property. Charlie Johnson passed out copies of his written report and made comments regarding necessity of subdivision. The property consists of 6.8 acres and if there is public access and there are no new roads constructed, it would not need subdivision, he said. Although the Engineers report will show recommendation for street construction, he said. If those requirements have to be met, it would necessitate subdivision; although it could simply become a outlot. Howard Kuusisto presented a written report; he expressed concern for the jog in 148th Street southwest of the church property, indicat- ing the need for a decision as to who would pay for upgrading of that section of road„ and would it dead-end or should it be extended. Spitzer: Regarding the jog on 148th Street east of Freeland - if a residence was built north of 148th and ?5 feet east of Freeland, whose responsibility would it be to complete that street? Kuusisto: I imagine it would have to be done by petition. C.Johnson: If the city owns the street, the city does not automat- ically have to build the street. There is no obligation. Spitzer: What if the property owner petitions to have the street ex- tended? Kuusisto: If the property owner to the south were to divide the lot Into two parcels, the city still doesn't have to build it, but the property saner could petition and it could be assessed against the property owners. Spitzer: Would there be any adverse effects in dead -ending the road rather than looping? Kuusisto: I highly recommend closing the loop. I recommend construct- ion of a street through the church property easterly to the north - south easement adjacent to sewage pumping station and thence southerly to Oneks Lake Boulevard. I am also recommending a sixty foot easement for the road. Sanitary sewer is no problem. Loca- tion of the building will determine the location for it. Regard- ing drainage, would recommend that grading be done in such a manner that any potding area to the north would not dr in back to the church. Rice Creek Watershed has made a report on this matter, he said. Fglt the possibility of raising the church and parking lot to an elevation where ponding would be no problem, should be explored. Schwab presented a written report. He explained that his main concerns were for: 1) traffic generation 2) drainage problems 3) neighborhood compatability-would proposed land use have any adverse effect on adjoining property. He said parking areas should be vcreened. He feels that 148th Street should be continued so that a loop street would be created; this road would serve as principle access to the church. If existing 8 inch storm sewer on north end of property, is sufficient to handle run-off from this site and other areas it is in- tended to serve, there should be no storm drainage problem. This should be analyzed by City Engineer.
