ADDITIONAL WEEK IN REVIEW ITEMS/ADMINISTRATORS REPORT 1) The Barett Property closed with no problems. I am having the City Engineer complete some additional items to the property survey on the property. The items are needed by the architect working on the project. H.R. Green will have a crew in town early next week to stake the water and sewer for Lakeland Hills and will complete the tasks at that time. The property is being mowed as requested and a local farmer is going to continue to take the hay off the property, cutting our mowing expenses (no pun intended). 2) The delineation has been completed on the parkland purchase. The wetland boundaries will be identified on our map of the site. Once this occurs early next week, I will arrange for the property to be mowed. I would like to have the specifications completed so that we can get an estimate on grading for the site. 3) Gerald Rehbein would like to have the final plat approved for Willow Glen (phase II). This will probably be an agenda item for August 27. 4) The 7% certificate of deposit was purchased through Smith Barney. 5) Some remodeling has occurred on the Jim Stevens property without pulling a building permit. The property was apparently "grandfathered" in under the building code as long as the property stayed under the same usage. The building is currently in the C -1 zoning which does not allow the building to be modified. Essentially the building was built in the floodway. Joyce Stevens is very upset and is threatening litigation. The son apparently did most of the work himself. Some of the work he was not licensed to do. If Paul attends the meeting, he can provide some details as to what improvements to the building were made. I have brought this subject up to Greg and he will check to see what legalities apply to this situation and whether or not we can rezone the property to something different. Joyce Stevens claims that the property was rezoned to C -1 in 1984 or 1985, when she and her late husband were on vacation without their knowledge. We are researching the issue. 6) We have been able to solve some of the drainage issues on the west side of Brian Drive in the Clearwater Meadows development. The swale behind Curtis Coffman and Bradley Hanggi's property has been improved. We have not heard anything lately from the property owners in Acorn Creek II in regards to the subject of installing sidewalk south of Revoir Street.
