At 8:00 p.m. Chairman Kremer opened the preliminary plat hearing. Dale Salo and his engineer presented and discussed his proposed plans and changes he had made as requested by the Planning Commission. He discussed how he had allowed for solar energy use on some of the lots; that 35 of the lots are over 10,800 square feet; the drainage has been studied; provisions for sewer on the 5 lots on the lowest elevation will have to be made as they are to low to be serviced by the City system with out extra provisions; the storm sewer drainage. Question from floor - would there by a public hearing for the final plat? Chairman stated that the Commission would probably want to hold one. Drainªg~-=- Questions on increased drainage and the handling of it; was the drainage permission received from the Watershed District? RCM engineer stated that they will not block drainage from the natural flow and will not run off more than the terrain handles now but there will be increase from the developed driveways and streets. The Watershed District probably does not require permits for this type of drainage. Tom Nahan asked what will be done to the pond to hold the extra drainage. Mr. Salo stated that he would leave it up to the engineers, if there is a problem, and they haven't determined that yet. Duane Gaida asked about the increased water in the pond and how it would be controlled to not have an adverse effect on the other property owners at lower elevations. He stated he his drain field was under water and the pond was at the same height as his septic tank last year. Joe Bettendorf stated that the developer will be required to take care of additional problems of additional runoff from development but not to take care of existing problems. Traffic: Concerns were expressed concerning the increased ---- -- traffic from the development. Property owners on Dale and Calloway Streets have petitioned the Township to vacate these two stub streets. Discussed was increased traffic on 7th and 9th Avenues. The narrow and light traffic construction, may require reconstruction of 7th Avenue in the future, and who would be responsible for the cost of reconstruction, should Dale and Calloway Streets not be vacated as has been petitioned to the Township. There were safety concerns on 9th Avenue because of many small children in the families living on 9th Avenue. and the need to build Baker Street to city standards. Also discussed were the comprehensive plans through APO for collector streets at 12th Avenue and south of the proposed development which would alleviate the traffic problems, but this is a long range plan and probably will not be constructed for some time. The City Engineer informed the group that the cost of construction and reconstruction of streets is the responsibility of the adjacent property owners as the Council determines through the assessment process. Safety of streets is always a concern, but streets are dedicated for public traffic use only. Concerns were expressed on the affect this development will have on surrounding properties by acting as a buffer to future development in the area. Questions were asked if the developer would be allowed to develop the property in sections; which Mr. Salo indicated he intended to do. The Planning Commission stated they had not allowed this in the past and requested Mr. Salo look into bonding the entire development at the required 125% of the anticipated budget costs. The Chairman closed the public hearing at 10:25 p.m. and stated the Planning Commission would defer making a recommendation until the next regular meeting on July 6, 1987, contingent on the Township's action on the vacation of the stub streets of Dale and Calloway, adjacent to the proposed development. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Rachel Stapleton City Clerk/ Adm. .
