I I I Council Meeting Minutes July 14, 1998 Page 5 Council Business. continued Proper recommends installation of an overflow mechanism to prevent surface water accumulation, however, historically this drainage area has not created flooding. The installation of the pipe allows for drainage to flow into the storm sewer and into the sedimentation pond. He would not recommend filling the low area adjacent to Lot 1 because it could push drainage over to neighboring properties. Benke asked if there is value in extending the culvert to Lot 8 and 9. Proper feels the grading plan does not exacerbate flooding, and allows for drainage between lots. Plow said the pipe would allow drainage to leave the area quickly. Benke said the pipe may help, but asked if it could be extended to the east. Proper said extending the pipe would require grading on existing properties. Benke prefers to provide existing residents with some comfort level, and feels this option should remain open. Schaffer noted concern of costs associated with drainage corrections. Proper noted the area contains a drainage easement. Benke said any improvement costs would be discussed at a later date. Proper would not recommend any traffic control devices at the intersection of 16th Terr. and 23rd Ave. It is a fact that uncontrolled intersections with low traffic volumes are the safest. An uncontrolled intersection allows for each individual to approach the intersection with the anticipation to stop. Benke added that the location of an overhead street light will be installed at the 16th Terr. and 23rd Ave. intersection. Tom Benahrio, 2391 - 17th St., said his property is graded lower than Lot 4, and has concern future owners could terrace the backyard in a way to create a flooding hazard to his property. He requested a covenant be applied to that parcel restricting regrading or terracing of the backyard. Benke noted less concern of the initial construction grading, and more concern of future excavation. Teague said a condition could be added stating the grades would remain consistent with the final grading plan. Fulton confirmed that a condition stating the City Forester's final approval of the landscape plan would be added. Teague said the condition could state that the applicant must submit a boulevard landscape plan subject to City Forester approval. Plow said they could require that the developer plant trees of specific size along the boulevard and ROW per City Forester request. Fulton noted the expectation that covenants be established relating to Benahrio's grading concerns, boulevard landscape plantings, and tree preservation along Lot 9. Such covenants shall be established subject to the City Attorney's development of language. Schaffer requested efforts be made to preserve a large tree located near the road ROW. Benke explained that efforts could be made, however, there is no guarantee. Proper expfained that the City would award a contract for the installation of utilities, curbing, and street surfacing. Costs would be assessed against the benefitting nine lots. Beach asked if Park Dedication Fees could be collected at the time the building permit is issued. Teague feels alternative arrangements could be made. Meilahn noted inaccuracies in the grading plan for Lot 9. Plow acknowledged those inaccuracies and confirmed the higher elevations for Lot 9 will remain. The final grading plan will be approved by staff at a later date.
