<br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated that all of the issues arising from things that were not done or <br />done improperly by the developer and/or the builder have caused animosity between the <br />townhome residents and the single family houses. He then said that Mr. Gulner had no <br />standing water in his backyard until the townhomes were built and now there is a <br />significant amount of water there. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated that the residents are concerned with common interest <br />development within the City. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated he had just received the response from Staff and said the board <br />would need to review it. He then said it feels like a white wash on the first phase given <br />.1'be history of concerns and issues. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated that bottom line, he does not feel the City Engineer is doing his <br />job or maybe it is public works that is not doing its job because the City Engineer should <br />be out at the site inspecting as the work is done. He then said that all they are asking for <br />on the second phase is that the City Engineer look at the plans and compare it to the <br />grading and tell the residents whether or not it will be okay or if there will be drainage <br />problems. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom thanked Staff for the response but said that silt fencing and sweeping <br />streets is a basic thing to him and he does not understand why it so hard to get the <br />developer to do it. He then said that you cannot even see the storm sewers any more <br />because of the sedimentation flowing from Portage Way. He further commented that he <br />is comfortable that the dredging will be done and said that the surety bond with Rice <br />Creek assures that it will be done. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated there is someone who can attest to the sediment in the pond. He <br />then said that silt fencing never went up on two of the sites and it is still not up along <br />Portage Way or Ojibway. He further commented that residents will take some <br />responsibility to notify the City of issues but all it takes is a call from the City and the <br />street sweeping and silt fencing is to be taken care of within 24 hours and that has not <br />been done. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated the main section on Dupre has not been swept. He then <br />commented that this is sloppy development procedures and he feels it is the role of the <br />City to be on top of the matter once notice is given. <br /> <br />Mr. HaIstrom indicated he would need to discuss the 1854 and 1855 Pioneer Lane matter <br />with the board. He then said that the survey determined the grade to be at 1 % but Mr. <br />Gulner indicated he had done a survey and it sent it to the City and the City indicates the <br />survey cannot be found. <br /> <br />Mr. Halstrom indicated he would like to see a copy of the survey because they feel it was <br />not the single family homes that amended the area and caused this problem and you can <br />see clearly how the grade was built up and did not create consistent drainage flow to the <br /> <br />Page 4 of 24 <br />
