Canvon Creek Ridae Subdivision - Preliminary Plat
Cal stated that there was a revised plan submitted, due to
geotechnical testing that indicated that 18 acres in the southeast
corner of the proposed subdivision is not suitable for building
sites.
This proposal has been taken to the Street and Alley Committee
where the curbs, street sizes, and various other issues were
discussed. It was determined that the City Engineer has the final
say in those issues.
Rick Newman of CDP Group, L.L.C., spoke regarding the proposed
subdivision.
• w
Mr. Newman stated that they are negotiating with the sellers on a
revised cost of this property. The cost for developing the
property is much more than that anticipated. The testing of the
soil found that there is 18+ acres that are unbuildable in an
economic sense for the. developers. It would not be cost effective.
The clay soil does not allow them to build homes with basements or
with a regular footing, due to the clay not being able to bear the
weight. Also, the distance they would have to go to hook into the
water and sewer lines is cost prohibitive. Thus they decided to
redesign the proposed subdivision. He feels the property is not
worth but a fraction of what they originally offered the sellers.
They took out the proposed health club, jog path and miniature golf
course in order to develop this property as the redesign shows.
He feels that if everything goes as they hope they will begin
selling lots in August of this year. All lots will be at least 1
acre in size.
Questions were addressed on driveways, streets, access to lots for
garbage and fire service, the nutting drain, easements, and future
water and sewer services for above the proposed subdivision.
Question was raised on the upper northeast corner that is earmarked
for a nature conservatory. Mr. Newman stated that the homeowners
will be responsible for taking care of that property. The plans
include keeping it in a natural state and keeping it clean.
Question on Bernhart ditch. It runs on the easterly property line
off of Alder Avenue. The proposal includes not crossing any of the
ditches that run along this proposed subdivision, except the
Nutting drain.
Question on the unused acreage. It was suggested that it could be
donated to the City for ball parks, but it will be up to the
sellers to determine what they want to do with it. It has been
used as farm land for the past 40 years.
Ovuonenta•
William Bernhart stated that he was concerned with, but not opposed
to, the proposal in regards to the run off of water that could
possibly upset the quality of the water in Bernhart ditch.
It was stated that the run off will be directed into the Nutting
Drain, with the City Engineer's approval.
Question by Dee McClelland regarding the run off from the property.
It was explained to her that the run off from the lots below the
Nutting Drain will drain naturally onto Maryland Lane as it has
done for many years.
Public Hearing was closed at 7:40 p.m., after a motion by Donald
Gudgell, seconded by Billielou Lance.
Discussion on various items of concern including fire services,
garbage services, drainage, nature conservatory, fending, and trees
and shrubbery.
Cal recommended approval of the revised proposal of Canyon Creed
Ridge subdivision subject to the following conditions:
1) Streets, curbs, gutters, public services, city services
and utilities meet the standards negotiated with the
City.
2) Drainage not be allowed into Bernhart ditch.
3) Easements be provided to the local utility companies as
negotiated.
4) Developer be required to provide a waiver of protest for
future City sponsored SID's.
5) Nature conservatory area be maintained and owned by the
homeowner's association.
6) Vehicular parking be provided on the east side of the
nature conservatory for pedestrian access. The park be
maintained and kept clean. Any improvements or changes
therein must be approved by the City.
Motion by Doaald Gudgell, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick, to add
a 7th condition that a fence be placed by the developer on the east
lot line of lots 20 through 24. Motion carried 9--1, with Merrill
Watkins voting "No".
Motion by Sillielou Lance, seconded by Clarence Foos, to
recommend approval to the City Council of the Canyon Creek Ridge
Subdivision preliminary plat, subject to the above 7 conditions.
Motion carried 10--0.
Blair Subdivision- Preliminarv Plat
This will be brought up at next months meeting if the correct
information is brought to us from the engineer doing the plat.
There has been some confusion on his part.
Laurel Bantiat Church - Landscaping Plan
Cal received the landscaping plan but they did not indicate a time
frame for it. Cal will write to them and request that information
and report back to the board.
Roger Anderson Property - Wold Road
Mr. Anderson has been informed by Cal on several occasions that he
needs to go through a subdivision process to add more mobile homes
to land he owns south of Wold Road. Cal has given him a time frame
to remove some mobiles and he has been adding mobiles since that
time.
The County Attorney will be pressing charges against him in a very
near future regarding this matter.
Cal states that there will
representative the end of June as
post.
