77 June 15, 1987 Atkinson made motion, Olson seconded, that this matter be postponed until later in the agenda. All aye. Motion Carried. John Johnson and Dick Wedell, representing Harstad Companies, ere present to discuss the preliminary plat as submitted. Mr. Johnson stated that the RCWD has approved the drainage plan for Hugo Meadows at their meeting of April 22, 1987. The holding ponds located within development is designed to reduce the impact of runoff downstream by 50%,. The Council then discussed parkland dedication, and it was the opinion of Mayor Atkinson that the city require payment of a parkland dedication fee rather than acceptance of parkland. It was his opinion that the area proposed as parkland was not condusive to city plans for a park system that will serve- the entire com- munity rather than just one particular development. Coucilmembers Peltier, Potts, and Olson felt that an area should be reserved for the children because of the high concentration of housing in the development. The City Administrator cautioned the Council with regard to accepting marginal land for park development resulting in limited access and costly maintenance. He suggested that a park located where it could better serve all of the community might be more prudent from a cost -benefit standpoint. Atkinson made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the preliminary plat of Hugo Meadows, as submitted by Harstad Companies, to subdivide 24.75 acres, zoned SFU described as part of the NE4 of Section 29, T31N, R21W, subject to the following conditions: 1.
