Mr. Peck inquired if maybe the excavation for drainage purposes and <br />excavation for creation of lake should be addressed as two separte items <br />in order to provide for drainage needs as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson replied that if the City Engineer feels requirements for <br />a drainage area are met, the developers can proceed with the necessary <br />excavation and continue to pursue the conditional use permit for additional <br />excavation required for the lake creation. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson and Commissioners Deemer and Zimmerman stated that they <br />have no problem with the creation of the lake after environmental questions <br />are answered. <br /> <br />Commissioners Hendriksen and Shut, ay stated that they do not recall that <br />the P.U.D. was to include a manmade lake; there was discussion of Lake <br />Itasca being a private lake; request that this proposal be referred back to <br />Parks and Recreation Commission for their review. Commissioner Hendriksen <br />stated that he is not in favor of the creation of a manmade lake and in his <br />opinion, the excavation for drainage and lake creation should be pursued as <br />one permit. Commissioner Hendriksen stated a $7500 bond is inadequate for <br />a project of this magnitude. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein noted that the $7500 is to cover anything beyond the 5 acres <br />that the developer might have open at any one time, which would be in <br />violation of the permit. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson suggested that the required bond amount be reviewed again <br />by City Engineer Raatikka. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer expressed concern for the additional wear and tear to <br />MSA route 153rd by the heavy truck traffic. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson suggested that the City Engineer also review the impact <br />of expediting normal wear and tear to 153rd by heavy truck traffic. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zi~merman requested confirmation from the City Engineer that <br />the excavation process will not lower the water table in the area and the <br />liability incurred by the City if that should happen. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen stated that there should be a limit placed on the <br />amount of material that can be stockpiled at any one time. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson requested an opinion from City Attorney Goodrich <br />regarding concerns for safety factors expressed by citizens and any <br />liability incurred by the City. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman to <br />table L&G Rehbein's request for a conditional use permit to excavate and <br />create a manmade lake in the Northfork P.U.D. until all information <br />requested has been submitted to and reviewed by City Staff. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Deemer, <br />Shumway, Zimmerman, Hendriksen, ~Due and Howell. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />P & Z/March 3, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
