The total streets and utilities <br />costs would be special assessed against the benefitting lots. Th~ booster <br />station and tank are City costs and would be paid from water user fees. <br /> <br />Proper said the existing drainage problems occurring around the Birch <br />Pond Condominiums will continue to be closely monitored. <br /> <br />Motion by larson, seconded by Williams. to WAIVE THE READING AND <br />ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE PETITION AND ORDERING <br />AN ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR EXTENDING STREETS AND <br />UTILITIES TO SERVE THE WEXFORD HEIGHTS PLAT, PROPOSED <br />IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 91~7. <br /> <br />3 Ayes - 0 Nayes. Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Kevin locke, Community Development Director. said Robert Nixon has <br />offered to donate to the City an undeveloped 9.94 acre parcel on the east <br />side of Jones lake. Mr. Nixon's reason for the donation is that prospects <br />for site development are low and it has become a tax burden. <br /> <br />Much of the site is wetland and has limited access. but the site could be <br />added to an adjacent parcel or be used for public open space. The Jones <br />lake wetland is .an identified amenity and could become a public natural <br />open space and/or trail area. <br /> <br />Staff recommends an environmental site review be performed prior to <br />donation acceptance. The assessment cost would be about $2.500- <br />5.000. <br /> <br />Benke suggested staff inform the adjoining property owner of the City's <br />possible acceptance of the donation since there may be access issues <br />involved. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Arcon <br />Development <br />Preliminary Plat <br />and Setback <br />Variance <br />Report 91-096 <br />Resolution 91-038 <br /> <br />Feasibility Study - <br />Wexford Heights <br />Streets & Utilities <br />Report 91-096A <br />Resolution 91-040 <br /> <br />Robert Nixon Land <br />Donation <br />Report 91-097 <br />
