Preliminary Plat of Valentine Lake View No.3 Planner Miller reported that the Planning Commission continued the Public Hearing over a couple month's time because of the prob- lems of the site: a)Two steep slopes with low land In between; concern was primarily of drainage. b) Availability of sanitary sewer service for some lots. c) Nearness of the freeway. . Miller referred Council to his report of 8/30/77 which outlines his findings after preparing a grading study for the site based on information provided by the applicant, his surveyor, and Rice Creek Watershed District. Miller reported that Rice Creek Watershed District has granted approval of the most current plans; developer Is allowed to fil I to accommodate home sites and access, but the low meadow area Is not to be completely filled. Miller reported that the City Engineer Indicates no problems If filling Is kept to a minimum as proposed; recommends that existing storm sewer be extended to the southern edge of the cui-dc-sac; existing sewer line elevation will require pumping. Mi Iler reported that District Highway Engineer advises of no legislation to prevent residential construc- tion along freeways; new homes will not be considered for estab- lishing the need for future sound abatement programs. In revi,ew of the plat design, Miller noted that the plat consists of 4 lots and an Outlot; outlot to be consolidated with lot I, blk. 2, Valentine Lake View. Miller noted that Lot I is sub- standard (110' deep and 13,200 sq. ft. In area); adjustments to bring It up to standard would not Improve the buildIng site on Lot I, and would limit the building area of Lot 4.
