P &Z Meeting Minutes Page Three June 2, 1987 Discussion of drainage of Centerville Heights. Mr. Johnson will ask the Rice Creek Watershed if it would be feasible to drain the water west versus south. If so, he feels that he may be able to lower some of the ponds and get some full basements. He stated that the water in the ponds will be below the water table and that they have to meet FHA criteria. If the water were to get above the water table the pipes in the pond would pump the excess water out. He does not feel that the ponds will make the water problem any greater for existing homes and that ponding controls the water table more efficiently. Members of the audience asked questions of the development: Maureen Asleson, 7232 Mill Road Brad Gulsvig, 7246 Mill Road Motion by Buesseler, second by Welk to recommend that the City Council request that Maier, Stewart, and Associates, Inc. prepare a feasibility study for city municipal water for the City of Centerville; as the Commission feels that if there is a need for municipal water, it needs to be done now if at any time, motion carried unanimously. Motion by Buesseler, second by Lindgren to recommend approval of the rezoning of the proposed Centerville Heights property from an R -2 to and R -2A and the preliminary plat of Centerville Heights as presented pending: - potential changes to the MUSA boundary by the Metropolitan in the northeast corner, - modification of water storage areas to a medium, - final recommendation of park dedication from P &R, - feasibility study by Maier, Stewart and Associates, Inc. for municipal water system for the City of Centerville, -time completion of the the feasibility study and decision by the City Council by the July 8, 1987 City Council meeting, motion carried unanimously. Motion by Buesseler, second by Lindgren to recommend to P &R that they consider setting aside some land in the upper southeast section of the 10 acred non sewered section of Centerville Heights; and that P &R try to work this park area into the ponding area off Royal Meadows; with the two areas together it may be large enough for fish and wildlife, motion carried unanimously. Appearance of Gene Wegleitner to discuss Wegleitner Addition plat. Per City Engineer drainage is tied to the Centerville Heights development and Mr. Wegleitner may want to go along with the development when approaching Rice Creek Watershed to save time and money. He may want to replat the addition to get rid of some of the easements, ditches and ponding on the present plat.
