Councihnember Anderson asked if there was any way to control the blowing sand. City Engineer Olson stated the developer has submitted an erosion control plan but it was very difficult to control 74 acres when opening a lot on it. Councihnember Anderson asked if watering would help keep the blowing sand down. Mayor Gamec stated that it is a real problem with sand blowing and if water is put on this, the water will dry up right away. Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Mayor Gamec, to adopt Resolution #02-06-152 granting final plat approval to Highlands at River Park 2''a Addition contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated June 20, 2002, Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc., Review Letter dated June 20, 2002, and the Developer entering into a development agreement with the City. Further discussion: City Attorney Goodrich asked if this was a motion to adopt the resolution. Mayor Gamec answered in the affirmative. Councilmember Kurak mentioned it stated the developer was required to provide the City with a copy of the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization permit prior to commencement of any grading. She stated that she would like that added to the motion if it was not already included. City Engineer Olson stated he was at the LRRWMO meeting when it was approved but they did not yet have the letter. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Kurak, and Anderson. Voting No: Councilmember Hendriksen, Zimmerman. Councilmember Hendriksen stated this was the portion of the plat where the gentlemen on the end of Ute Street would get his ten new neighbors and he did not think that should have happened. Case #3: Request for Final Plat Approval of The Ponds Second Addition; Case of Royal Oaks Realty Community Development Director Frolik noted that Royal Oaks Realty has submitted a final plat for The Ponds Second Addition to develop seven single-family lots on 145th Court. The area to be developed as The Ponds Second Addition is shown as Outlot B of The Ponds final plat and has been referred to previously as the "peninsula." Staff recommends final plat approval of the Ponds Second Addition subject to the staff review letter dated June 21, 2002, and the developer entering into the development agreement as proposed. She stated at the May 14th Council meeting, the Council made a motion that was approved to prohibit the removal of any trees on the peninsula until a tree preservation ordinance was in place. She stated they met with the developer at the site today to review the extent of their grading. She stated to restrict the grading limits to the road right-of-way is not practical, they have to go beyond the road right-of-way to create the slopes and back fill for behind the road.
