Planning Manager Larson shared the way that the property is platted, there is a drainage easement, and it is consistent with the drainage easement. Mr. Patrow stated the drainage and utility easement goes right through the retention pond. Planning Manager Larson said this is standard. Christy Haid, 7600 163rd Lane, said the water issue has been put aside like it is no big deal and she would like to see evidence that it will not be a problem. Acting Mayor Riley stated that the water issue is not what they are talking about tonight and it is not being pushed off. It is actually set to be discussed on Thursday at the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) and they will be the definitive answer on the water issue. Ms. Haid shared this is frustrating as a resident who lives right near the site. Acting Mayor Riley said this has already been decided by the Council and will be discussed by the LRRWMO. Councilmember Woestehoff asked Staff if there are any development agreements that have been written that allow for or leave open developer costs for future improvements that may be required. He used the example of if in a few years a turn lane was needed, would there be a space in the agreement or a time period where it would be assessed back to the properties as opposed to a taxpayer burden. Planning Manager Larson said that through the approval process with the traffic study, if something were identified as a potential improvement, when those portions of the project were reviewed a condition requiring an assessment agreement for construction of that in the future should have been in the study. A roll call vote was performed: Councilmember Musgrove aye Councilmember Specht aye Councilmember Howell aye Councilmember Woestehoff nay Councilmember Heineman aye Acting Mayor Riley aye Motion carried. 8.
