. , City Council Meeting February 12, 1997 4 current problem with Peltier Lake Drive. Nyberg explained this road will be on higher ground so there shouldn't be a problem. Helmbrecht asked if the school was aware of the trail location and if that works with their plan. Mr. Black commented the school has seen the plans and are comfortable with the trail leading to the ball fields. Wilharber clarified the road location being discussed for the viewing audience. The road is the north entrance into the proposed Lakeland Hills Development located on the Hensel property. Powers-Rasmussen asked if all the issues from the City Engineer's letter dated January 30, 1997, had been addressed. Nyberg had discussed several of the issues with Planning and Zoning, a variance is needed for the block exceeding 620 feet in length but this is a formality. Nyberg explained one issue from the Planning and Zoning which should be discussed is the center islands. Mr. Black proposed two $10,000 maintenance free center islands at each entrance. Mayor Wilharber asked which agencies Royal Oaks is referring to, in the letter dated January 28th? Mr. Black explained they are currently scheduled to go before RCWD on February 26th. Further, Royal Oaks is working with the Army Corp of Engineers for a nation wide wetland permit. Mr. Black has been in contact Roger Butler at Anoka County Highway Department for an access permit off Co. Rd. 14. Finally, they are working with the DNR on minimizing wetland impact. 4 Brenner has not seen the Planning and Zoning minutes from the last two meetings and would rather hear their input prior to approval. Mr. Black mentioned the R-2 district in this area would satisfy the zoning ordinance requirements. Mayor Wilharber commented the City Administrator and City Engineer both were present at the Planning and Zoning meetings and have addressed any issues. Mr. Qamhieh requested the new and existing grading plans and suggested the council consider restricting drainage to the east. Nyberg commented the elevation of grading will not affect Mr. Qamhieh's property. Mayor Wilharber commented since the Army Corp of Engineers, Rice Creek Watershed District and DNR are looking at these plans they should catch any potential problems. Nyberg commented the developers have done everything possible to direct the water away from the east. Mr. Bill Lalonde of 1687 Westview Street discussed issues he hoped the council would think about. Mr. Lalonde wouldn't like dog kennels or yipping dogs. Although the park board would rather have the park money instead of park land, he felt the city should have a park in this area. He was totally for sidewalks leading to the school path, it shouldn't be grass and was in favor of curb and gutters. ~ Mr. Lalonde mentioned the meeting with the developer and the school didn't go well since the developer didn't want anymore water running on their property.
