City Council minutes of May 22, 1996 Dave Nyberg noted that the city had received a letter of credit from the developer. Mr. Nyberg stated the city received 8 bids for the project. According to the bids the cost to run service to the 9 existing residents on Brian Drive is $8,000 / $900 each resident. The difference between this project and the Main Street project is that the residents on Main Street are paying for the trunk line and service to the property line. On a new development the developer pays for the trunk line, Councilmember stated she understood why but doesn't agree, especially since both projects would be bonded together. She added that the city would be getting appraisals on the different houses and zones. Mr. Nyberg stated he can see having a problem with doing appraisal because it would set the council's prices. Rockey Goertz commented that those 9 residents should pay 1 /27th of the trunk line. Mr. Goertz requested approval of the plat contingent upon FEMA and RCWD. Until approval is received from those two parties that final plat could not be filed at the county. Mr. Nyberg stated that they don't have RCWD approval yet. They are still waiting for a wetland replacement plan from Rehbein. Mr. Goertz stated that he doesn't see why it can be done with contingencies so he doesn't have to come back before the council. Mr. Nyberg questioned the status of the as built grading plan. That the project would have to be graded and verified prior to the issuance of a building permit. Mr. Nyberg stated that an as built grading plan policy is critical with this project being by the creek. Mr. Goertz stated that this has never been discussed with him. He added that the communication has been poor with the engineer. Mr. Goertz stated that if he would've known about this 3 months ago he would've dropped the project. He added that it wasn4 in the feasibility study or the draft development agreement. Councilmember Powers- Rasmussen stated that it wouldn't be fair to hold Mr. Goertz up if the city doesn't have this plan ready. Mayor Wilharber apologized for the poor communication. Mr. Palzer stated that grading after a home is built is hard than to have it roughly graded from the beginning. Mr. Goertz stated that he has been willing to work with the city but some of these requests are out of the question. Mr. Goertz went on to explain the construction process that they had intended to use. He added that he would fight the grading plan issue throughout the ent project because he was never informed. Mr. March stated that during his first three days here in Centerville he has been faced with drainage problems, therefore he does have some concern. CC5- 22MM.WPS 3
