Seconded by Mr. Reimann. Motion carried unanimously. Reilley Estates Final Plat: Mr. Neary submitted request for the final plat acceptance on a three phase basis. Mr. Sba discussed drainage on the plat and Outlot "A". Preliminary plat was approved September 17, 1973. The final plat was submitted on May 20, 1974 to Ramsey Town Board. It was submitted to the County on May 28, 1974, Mr. Goodrich said he did not feel the Council could waive the 6 month time element for preliminary approval as required by Ordi- nance 73-6. Mr. Gotham said he felt it would be a grave in~.ustice to require replatting of this land. Mr. Cox asked what areas the three phases of development would cover. Mr. Neary said there would be 14 lots in the first phase, 11 lots in the second phase and 24 lots in the. third phase. Discussion on County Shoreline Ordinance. Mr. Cox asked Mr. Neary if he would come in to the Planning & Zon- ing meeting on April 7th and present the 'preliminary plat and to the Council meeting on April 14th and present the final plat. Mr. Neary stated he was requesting that the final plat of Phase 1 and 2 of Reilley Estates be accepted or the minutes be effectively addressed as to why acceptance is not being made. If he can bring the hard shells on April 14th, he will be glad to come in to the Planning & Zoning meeting on April (Yth at their request. Mr. Cox asked the opinion of the Council members. Mr. Gorham said he had made himself clear before and that he feels it is an injustice to require this. He feels we should then pass on the preliminary and the final plat the same night and that if we have any objections we should be candid and tell Mr. Neary at this time to wipe out any doubts. Mr. Mickelson fe~t the same as Mr. Gotham. Mr. Reimann felt we should follow the direction of the legal council. Mrs. Oliphant felt this procedure would comply with our ordinance. Mr. Neary wants to know the wishes of the Council at this time so when he comes in to the Planning ~Zoning meeting on April 7th, there will be no further delays. Mr. Sba said Outlot "A~ is a policy ques- tion to be determined by Council. Mr. Cox is concerned about the pond and how it is going to be drained. He is concerned about the amount of traffic coming out on 156th Ave. Mr. Cox said he preferred to have Outlot "A" public. Mr. Mickelson thinks public access to Outlot "A" is a good idea. Mr. Gotham thinks it is a go~d idea to develop all three phases at one time. He thinks all ponds should be graded, drained and seeded. He thinks the final plat should be worked over by the County Surveyor before the hard shells are re- corded. Ponds should be cleaned when the roads are put in. Mr. Auspos of the Police Department was asked what he thought of having Outlot "A" a public park and he replied that the City of Anoka was having a lot of trouble with Riverside Park on the Rum River because it was a public park and. could not be closed off. Mr. Cox informally asked the Council members to indicate whether or not they wanted Outlot "A" public. Mrs. Oliphant and Mr. Gotham voted No and Mr. Cox, Mr. Reimann,. an.d Mr. Mickelson voted.yes. Ail Council members were in favor of navxng the ponds cleaned. Mr. Neary said they wanted Outlot "A", to remain as a-private park for the residents of the area. They are not going to add 5 acres more to the 17 acres already designated for park area. The abstract will be sent to the
