WEAVER Bergly reviewed the background of this parcel of land and explained the area including this parcel and adjacent lots to the east and west were approved as a final plat in 1978. The final plat was never recorded and the lots to the east and west were divided in separate actions in the configuration as the approved final plat. He further stated the Council had accepted the proposed drainage easement as satisfaction of park dedication requirements, however, because the plat was not filed, the easement was never recorded. The easement now proposed as a drainage easement is 34 ft. narrower than the initial proposed easement. The Planner advised initial discussions with the applicants the low land across Parcel A was shown as an easement for drainage purposes; that drainage area contains water and is needed for water storage. The petitioner now is requesting a division of the property, leaving enough room on Lot A to construct a house on the east end of the lot and are proposing to fill a corner of the wetland area on the north edge and dredge to compensate for water storage. Bergly reviewed the considerations listed in his report regarding the proposed drainage easement, filling and dredging a small portion of the north edge of the pond, City review of the drainage plan due to the fact Rice Creek Watershed District does not have jurisdiction over this pond, limited building envelope on Parcel A, and resolution of Park Dedication. •
