LRRWMO Meeting Minutes April 18, 1996 Page 9 on the title of the property which will alert the buyer and provide a level of protection for the LRRWMO. He pointed out it maybe burdensome for the developer to record this on the title but, perhaps, it should be considered for certain projects. Schultz noted the developers interpretation of the 100-year capacity requirement that it was between the two ponds. Ferguson agreed this will need to be clarified with Stanton. Schultz noted the project will contain private streets and expressed concern that maintenance of the sump manholes will be the responsibility of the homeowners association. Obermeyer commented on the importance of assuring proper maintenance of the ponding basins since they are only as effective as the maintenance of them. Weaver noted the comment was made that the floor elevations would be 2.8 feet above the 100-yeaz elevation and stated his support for requiring a covenant on the title to assure there will be no problem. Ferguson noted the FHA requirement offour feet above the water table to qualify for FHA financing and their indication the site would be raised to meet that financing requirement. Obermeyer commented on the elevation vaziation which can occur during actual construction. • Obermeyer stated sometimes a covenant on the title certifying the footing elevations is required, which could be handled by the City as a check. Haas stated Ramsey requires a certified as-built and inspects the site for grading prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy. Motion by Weaver, seconded by Haas, (for discussion purposes), that due to the unique and sensitive character of this site, the City of Coon Rapids provide an as-built of each floor elevation within the plat. Weaver noted this requirement is minimal since Stanton indicated it would not be a problem. Haas agreed since the LRRWMO approved the plan and must now assure it is constructed properly, as approved. - Ferguson noted there have been other projects where this was an issue and certified as-builts were not required. Weaver indicated there are many areas of concern with this particulaz project and the water which leaves this site travels through the City of Anoka drainage and into the River. He stated he believes there is a need for assurance that this project does not place member cities into a liable situation. Weaver noted this is a simple follow-thru to assure compliance and the LRRWMO would be derelict to the buyers and member cities if an assurance is not required. • Haas concurred and commented on the other requirements made of developers to assure grading is completed as approved and to further assure the builders also do not impact the drainage, swales, etc.
