Moti~m carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Strommen, Jeffrey, Cook, Elvig, and Pearson. Voting No: None. Case #9: Request for Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Approval of Rum River Estates; Case of National Growth Assistant Public Works Director Olson indicated the developer included a public street requested by staff to the south, but that severed outlot 1. The intent is that the land south of 157th Avenue that is not part of the building pad is supposed to be a drainage and utility easement. Also, there is a ma. jeer issue with filling portions outside of the wetlands that are in the 100-year bounce, as this could impact the water volumes and elevations of the wetland. He amended page 279, 9 (5) to state "If the increase in elevation is less than 0.5 ft and will not impact existing structures and docs not exceed wetland limits in other adjacent properties, then the filling can be approved." C,mncilmember Elvig commented there is some reasonable buffering on the west side, but the btWl'crii~g is not very good on the northeast side. Over this weekend he saw the Fire Department try to get to a fire without access. He expressed concern that this development could be landlocked with the long extension that is shown. (:ity Aclministrator Norman indicated Councilmembers Elvig and Olson came in to discuss this issue with stall: This is not the only problem area in the community, and staffhas begun making nott:s of similar examples of long cul-de-sacs that are public safety issues. They may want to have ~ work session discussion to start considering a program to identify problem areas and see what c~m be done about making that connectivity. ~ ;otmcil member Elvig indicated he appreciates this idea and guidelines are needed on how to fix ~;om~; t)l' these problems.
