The bjuf�has a 20 to 30 pencent drop in grade, and a <br /> tremendous amount of tree removal would have to happen if a road was constructed through there. <br /> Stedman stated in his opinion it was good planning in 1965 on the way it was platted. <br /> Stedman noted they did have a neighborhood meeting on July 28 that was very well attended. The <br /> neighbors were interested in finding o3rt whether tlaere is another access point an the property,traf�"iic <br /> concerns were expressed,and the impact of construction tiaffic was discussed. Stedman indicated they <br /> are very interested in workiing with them,particularly on tamdscaping. <br /> Stedman stated it is also important to point out thst the building pads are 600 to 700 feet away from the <br /> nea,rest house. The driveways wi11 be kept away from the trees as much as possible. Stedman stated he <br /> would like to get same 'vnput from some custom home bui�lders on whether the house pads should be <br /> graded and that he hopes to have an answer on that in the near future. <br /> Mark Gronberg, Surveyor,stated a bluffanalysis was compieted when a piece of property was split off <br /> appraximately a year ago arid that he would be glad to go over it with ti�e City to see wb�ether it needs to <br /> be expanded or subtracted. Gronberg stated t�ey also did a preliminary stormwater management plan and <br /> depicted where the pond might go but it is a little bit dependent on the cul-de-sac and road design. <br /> Gronberg stated the stormwater routing along Dakota TraiI is where the drainage gces currently but#hat <br /> he would be willing to look at something different if the City recoznmends i� Gronberg indicated they <br /> may have to dig the pond deeper down if the starmwater panding goes near the cul-de-sac,which has <br /> more impact. Gronberg stated he can discuss that with t�e City Engineer but that in his view it would be <br /> better if i#was a little furt�►er away from the cul�e-sac. <br /> Gronberg stated as it relates to temporary street construction easemeuts,that is why they show the <br /> re�taining walls,which will help keep the excavator within ti�e 50-foot right-of way. Crronberg stated he is <br /> anticipating the retaining walls will need to be engineered. Gronberg noted they wi1l not be asking the <br /> neighbors for easements. <br /> Page 45 of 65 <br />
