Planning & Zoning Commission -- February 7, 1996 Minutes Goertz stated that if residents have a complaint about a mess left in the street that they should call the developer or city hall and they will clean it up. Discussion regarding traffic management. The feasibility study states that access during construction of the site will be from Main Street and 20th Avenue. The City should consider requiring the Contractor to cross the creek to access the area south of Brian Drive, rather than travel along Brian Drive. Goertz stated that this is not really feasible. Rice Creek would not allow a temporary road over the creek for the entire time of construction because it may take up to 2 years to develop houses. Goertz confirmed that the development is based upon on new flood plain numbers once they are approved by FEMA. The proposed elevation would be 905, the existing elevation is 908 and the development does not work at that elevation. Question was raised as to what costs may effect the current Brian Drive residents -- road work, water, etc. And Fogerty also asked ifthere are any plans to widen old Brian Drive to match the new one. Wilharber answered that unless the citizens petition for the reconstruction or road work to be done that it would not. As for the costs to Brian Drive residents, those residents on the west side of the street will have water lines running down the back side of their property. Therefore the would incur a hook-up charge when they choose to connect to city water. Tourville commented that the city may want to look at doing street work to Brian Drive. Because in the future people would use Brian Drive as a short cut to Main Street from, for example Center Oaks. Question as to how much work has been done to Brian Drive in the past. Fogerty said that Brian Drive is original but that it may have been top coated. Discussion of assessments as noted on pages 5 & 6 of the feasibility study. The cost that could be assessed to the residents is an estimated rate of $2445.30. Fogerty expressed a concern for water supply to the residents on the east side of Brian Drive, he doesn't want them to become an island without service. In the future then when they would want city water the assessments for those 6 homes would be high. Goertz stated that it was discussed and the best way would be to rip up the street and run water down Brian Drive. (This may require those residents to petition for utility and street improvement). An alternative to provide water to those residents on the east side would be to provide a larger "T" in back of their property off the develop to allow more home to hook up. Goertz stated he would comply with the request to check with the county on the driveway to lot 2, block 2. PZ2-6MM.WPS 6
