JUN.-16'98(?UB) 16:32 TEL:612 421 9511 Mayor Gamec asked if there is a problem in that the Council needs to ratify the park action. Ms. Frolik stated Staff recommends proceeding with a contingency. City Attorney Goodrich explained it would give the responsibility of determining the park fee to the Park Commission. Councilmember I-laa_s Steffen noted that StaflFis supposing they know what the action of the Park Commission will be and asked what the park dedication amount will be. Ms. Frolik advised it is $650 per new lot created, no more no less. Couneilmember Haas Steffen asked what else they could do. Ms. Frolik stated they could consider a combination of cash and land. Councilrnember Haas Steffen stated she supports requiring a park dedication fee rather than land. Mayor Garnet stated the way the Park plan is set up, there are no parks designated for that area so they have been taking cash. Bob Longfield, 5751 ~ asked if'water drainage will be extended across the cul-de-sac towards his property. Mayor Garnet explained that no one can drain more water towards another property than is currently draining. Mr. Longfield stated he would like some reassurance should the culvert become plugged and alter his property. City Engineer Jankowski stated when this road was paved there was a culvert placed from the south to the north side to a low area which is on Mr. Longfield's property. A berm on the south side confines water into the roadway ditch and into the low area. The two homes being created will create a minor amount of additional water runoff but with lots of this size the water should not get into the roadway ditch due to the existing berm. He explained that Mr. Lonlfaeld is concerned if the resident decides to remove the berm. Mr. Jankowski stated taking the benns down could be deemed to significantly change the drainage patterns and require a drainage permit. However, sometimes people do not apply for those permits prior to the start of grading. Councilmember Haas Steffen stated it appears this issue was not addressed by the Planning Commission and asked if approval can be granted contingent upon the berms not being removed. Mr. Jaakowski stated he spoke with Mr. Longfield and determined if a problem occurs they could bulkhead the water so it remains on the other side. Also, it may not be a problem unless Mr. Longfield's property is developed. Coundlmember Beyer asked if this could be a potential problem with a drainfield or a failed septic system.
