P &Z Meeting Minutes Page Two May 26, 1987 with the Brad Gulsvig property at 7246 Mill Road. Drainage for Centerville Heights will be southly, eventually going down to Clearwater Creek. It has not yet been determined how the drainage will be worked out with the property to the south of the Centerville Heights property. That southern adjoining propery owner would be Gene Wegleitner. There appears to be a drainage ditch on the Wegleitner property and it may be possible to move the ditch north to the Centerville Heights property line. The largest holding pond will be at elevations of about 902 -904 feet at the deepest portion. This would be at about 5 -6 feet deep. The next largest pond would be about 3 -4 feet deep. The smallest pond would be about 2 feet deep. Commission members feel that the larger pond would be an asset to the community with regard to wildlife and appearance. They are concerned that the large pond may not be deep enough to prevent an over growth of vegetation, such as cattails. They also question whether the pond can be elongated toward the road so more members of the community can enjoy the view. John Johnson, advised that the water in the ponds is permanent. They could make the pond deeper, but are trying to make the slopes gentler for the homeowner. The land around the pond will be private property. The maximum slope recommended by the DNR is 6 -1. The current size of the proposed large pond is about 1 1/4 acres. The possibility of elongating the largest pond toward the road will be looked into. Brad Gulsvig, 7246 Mill Road would prefer to purchase some of the land behind his house versus having the houses and roads on the plat moved over 10 feet. Mr. Wedell and Mr. Johnson advised that they will try to work with Mr. Gulsvig to resolve his concerns. The proposed culdesac size in Centerville Heights would have a 60 foot radius. Harstad Companies will request a variance to Ordinance #8, as this culdesac size is less than that allowed by that Ordinance. Members of the audience asked questions and expressed their opinions of the rezoning and the preliminary plat: Brad Gulsvig, 7246 Mill Road Myra Spijer, 7200 Mill Road Mike Habas, 7167 Shad Avenue Commission members would like to see it put in the development contract that trees be planted in the spring or fall of the year and that the developer guarantee them for a one year period.
