City Council Meeting Minutes September 23, 1992 page two Ken Vanderbeek, 6903 Centerville Road, Realty Representative for the Acorn Creek Development, advised that he had spoken to Mr. Moore and the property owners appear to not be interested in selling land for park purposes at this time. Mayor Buckbee advised that the maximum end result that he would shoot for at this meeting would be for a sewer alignment across Acorn Creek. He advised that he is not ready to decide other plat issues at this time. He advised that he has concerns with regard to intent of the Comprehensive Plan. He would like to see the trees saved by looking closer at the ponding and notes concern by George Haberman, 7294 Mill Road, regarding an ordinance prohibiting front and back lot lines from both being border by a street. He felt the City is running through these issues quickly and that there were too many of them to make a decision tonight. He advised he has heard concern that the lift station on Peltier Lake Drive may not have the capacity to facilitate the proposed Acorn Creek Development. John Stewart, City Engineer, was available at the meeting. It appeared to be his opinion that the discussion regarding a sewer and water extension could be done without Preliminary Plat approval, but it would set the alignment of 73 1/2 Street. He noted that the Preliminary Plat and the Grading Plan have too many variables to make a decision at this time. He noted that there are answers, but more direction is needed before the conclusions can be made. He noted that the lift station on Peltier Lake Drive does have the capacity to facilitate the proposed Acorn Creek Development with adjustments being made to the equipment (such as installing larger impellers, making a minor adjustment to the pumping apparatus). Council member Burgstahler suggested that it appears to be feasible to do the sewer extension through Acorn Creek to facilitate the Center Hills, Third Addition and he does understand there may be an extra cost to the developer for doing this. He suggested that it may be more difficult to live with predetermined strict zoning knowing areas and he prefers buffers and progression with regard to lot sizes. He suggested that it may be in the City's best interests to involve a planner to review the plat. He noted that if the City and the Developer have some flexibility both can achieve their goals. He appeared to feel that the lots could be worked around the street areas and would be willing to work toward the sewer extension with this in mind. He felt that the issue that may be comprised with regard to the extension of municipal sewer and water are street angles and noted that there is not much room between the collector street and the creek. It appeared to be his opinion that amenities and house sizes were more important issues. "'>;.t. .'.
