The development needs a <br />watershed holding pond for storm drainage and the owners of the P.U.D. ' <br />would rather construct a lake to allow for better homes and a higher tax <br />base for the community. By creating the lake, the developers are hoping <br />that this will create an attraction for homes on the west side of the <br />develot~nent. It will take several years to construct the lake and the lake <br />will be 20-25 feet in depth. The lake will be stocked with fish and will <br />be large enough for fishing but won't be large enough for motor boats. <br />The developers are proposing to include a swimming beach for Northfork <br />residents. Rehbein is proposing to create 40 acres of surface area on the <br />lake and will excavate between 40-45 feet of dirt and the lake will be 20- <br />25 feet above the water table. <br /> <br />Steve Wrench - 16470 Fortmann Circle - Requested if there is a master plan <br />for the development and that this was the first the residents have heard of <br />actual plans for a lake. He would like more plans and more information. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein - Replied that there has been a master plan for the development <br />in the sales office since the opening of the PUD. <br /> <br />Steve Wrench - Inquired as to the amount of traffic created and time to <br />construct the lake. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein - Replied that they would use State Aid roads; there would be <br />no traffic on Jarvis Street; and it would take 3-5 years to construct the <br /> P&Z Public Hearing/March 3, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
