One of the items discussed at that time was a request by the applicant that the City consider a reducing of the storm water and drainage trunk fee. Grittman indicated the applicant has made some proposals as to how to calculate that fee and those proposals are included in the Council's packet. Grittman stated a second change from the previous plan that went before the City Council on November 24 relates to onsite septic systems. Staff inet with the applicant and their engineers to tweak their plan to ensure that the septic systems would be in compliance. The City Engineers feel those sites will meet regulations. The tested sites located north of Ms.Hager's properiy comply with all requirements for soil types, setbacks, slopes,and other regulations. An additional site located further from her home is likely but is subject to additional testing. Staff has met with the property owner and reviewed that information. Staff believes that the development plans have met the requirements for preliminary plat approval. Grittman indicated the Resolution before the City Council has been updated and that Staff is recommending approval of the resolution for preliminary plat for the Lakeview Golf Course. Grittman noted this application will eventually lead to final plat approval and a development agreement. Printup asked how the meeting with the property owner went a couple of days ago. Community Development Director Andrew Mack stated Staff reached out to the landowner and reviewed the site. Based on that review and those discussions, revisions were made to the septic site. The revisions have been reviewed by the City Engineer and septic inspector. Staff has looked at the alternative site that the applicant's designer suggested would be an appropriate primary site. That site would be positioned closer to the residence for that particular lot and would be located further away from Ms.Hager's property. Mack stated once the perc tests are completed next spring, Staff will be able to make a final determination on a change in location. At this time the other site will be reserved for an alternative site. Page 6 of 26
