CASE <br /> <br />REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, November 16, 1999, and discussed six cases as <br />follows: <br /> <br />Case #1: Discuss Apple Ridge Grading with Affected Property Owners <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee invited four property owners(Lots 1, 2, 9 and 10, Block 1, Apple <br />Ridge) to the meeting. All four property owners were represented at the meeting. These <br />properties are those that would be affected by a revised grading plan that may be implemented to <br />correct drainage as a result of the home on Lot 9 being constructed two feet too low. The <br />property owners were advised that any regrading Which would require construction outside the <br />easement area would need to have the permission of the property owner. The revised plan <br />submitted by Orrin Thompson appears to require such grading. The Public Works Committee <br />assured the property owners that they would have an opportunity to see the plan and comment <br />prior to City approval of a revised plan. ~'. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />No action necessary. <br /> <br />Case #2: Introduce Storm Water Utility Ordinance <br /> <br />Staff presented a storm water utility ordinance, with revisions requested by Council at their <br />September work session. The Public Works Committee recommends introduction of the <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to introduce the storm water utility ordinance. <br /> <br />Case #3: Consider Additional Controls on ReSidential Home Building <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee considered two draft policies which provide additional survey <br />requirements on residential building at the point foundations are being inspected and at the time <br />final occupancy is granted. The Committee directed staff to further research what development <br />controls local, similar-sized communities have; particularly, communities that have both'rural <br />and urban residential development such as Ramsey. There was concern that controls needed in <br />urban areas may be inappropriate in ruraI areas. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to ratify the Public Works Committee's staff direction to provide information regarding <br />development controls in other communities. <br /> <br /> <br />
