Approval of Minutes Hansen moved, seconded by Rauenhorst, that the Minutes of August 27th and September 10th be approved as amended. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Business from the Floor None Arden Oaks Park - Schedule for Grading and Seeding Council was referred to McNiesh's memo (9/20/84) which Woodburn read, reporting that developer Marcel Eibensteiner plans to finish grading the park when he is grading Royal Hills North; said park grading will be completed by October 15th. Memo also reported that the Arden Oaks residents would like to have a play structure installed in 1985 rather than in 1986, as currently scheduled. Steve Warner, 1444 Arden Oaks Court, said he, his wife Anita, and two children live in Arden Oaks; were promised that a park would be graded and seeded, and it has not been completed to date. Warner reported that 2 4-wheel vehicles were in the park area on the weekend, digging up the park area, scattering clay allover the road; reported that the police were called, but the damage had been done, and the vehicles were gone by then. Grant Wishart, 1424 Arden Oaks Drive, asked if penalties or fines can be levied to enforce getting the grading done by October 15th. Woodburn reported that the developer has been reliable; noted that contract would have to be reviewed, but is not sure City can enforce the grading until development is complete. (MUlcahy arrived at meeting - 7:45) Rauenhorst suggested that a letter from the City be sent to Eibensteiner, requesting completion of the grading by October 15th. Don (inaudible) said Marcel has given his word before; Council is aware of the park problem; noted that there are piles of dirt allover the place; reported that the residents want it to look nice by spring of 19B5; requested that money be allocated for this park by 1985. Hansen reported that the Parks Committee made no commitment to the residents; want Council to encourage the dirt removal by October 15th. Hicks explained that the original proposal was to grade the park, not to remove dirt; asked the residents if grading only would be acceptable. Residents present said they want the djrt removed, park graded and seeded; would like a play structure in 1985, noting that there are about 20 children under the age of 6, in the area.
