<br />March 14,2001 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft noted construction is subject to various approvals, and that Council <br />will have the opportunity to further review this matter before final approval. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg noted there is concern for development impacting the school district. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted any City concerns would be addressed through the plat approval <br />process. He then explained he heard today there was concern from the Chauncy Barrot <br />Gardens residents that a lot of people are using a path from the back door of the senior <br />housing to access Ojibway Drive, noting there may need to be a trail connecting the two. <br /> <br />Mr. Drewlo expressed concern that there is no trail-way, which means he has to trespass <br />to go for a walk. He then thanked the Developer for the hours of wildlife viewing they <br />have gotten from the Outlot. <br /> <br />Mr. Jim Juhl, President of Eagle Pass Single Townhome Association addressed Council <br />and noted the main concern for the Association is that they can only add seven (7) more <br />units to their Association according to the bylaws. He then stated his Association would <br />appreciate it if the new buildings had a new Association created for them. He outlined <br />various civil issues the Association has with the builder. <br /> <br />Mr. Juhl noted the park on Dupre Road has never been finished, and the short concrete <br />pad is acting as a magnet for teenage kids to gather, smoke and talk smart. He asked that <br />something be done to curb that. He then stated he would like to see more streetlights in <br />the new development, and possibly some added to his current development. <br /> <br />Mr. Juhl told the Developer he had information that led him to believe the Outlots are <br />deeded into his Association. The Developer noted he would research that issue and <br />thanked Mr. Juhl for the information. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if the bylaws of the Association could be amended to <br />include more homes. Mr. Juhl explained he believed they could be amended but a <br />request for an amendment would need to go through the State. He understands it is a <br />costly procedure. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis asked why the Association did not want more homes in the <br />Association. Mr. Juhl explained the reason is mainly because the roads are private roads <br />that must be maintained, and that is a big expense for the Association. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted this sketch plan would go through the preliminary plat process as if it <br />were a bare piece of land being subdivided. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft noted that either Swift or Gor-em Developers would be submitting <br />townhome documentation for him to review. <br /> <br />Mr. Quigley clarified that the intent of the Developer was for the homes built on the <br />outlot to have their own Association. Mr. Quigley further clarified the park pad was <br />intended to be a full size tennis court, but the Developer was caught with an asphalt plant <br /> <br />Page 6 of 15 <br />
