BLUEBERRY CIRCLE - PROJECT #481 - PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor then reconvened the public hearing regarding Project #481 consisting of proposed storm sewer improvements in the Blueberry Circle area of Hilltop Estates. The council had considered the hearing at its October 7, 1986 meeting and had several questions and directed the staff to contact all affected property owners, the developer, and the builders of three homes that had been affected by the storm water problem. Tom Colbert gave a detailed report and recommended against placing additional fill around the trees and the rear of the lots. He stated that a building on Lot 16 indicated the "as built" was 2 1/2 feet lower than the site plan approved by the City. Lot 14 was allegedly sold to Sunshine Construction Company at a $3,000.00 discount and Lot 15 was sold to Heritage Homes at a $6,000.00 discount. The developer had indicated that the discount had been given so that the builders would solve the drainage problem. In addition, Heritage Homes had installed a $1,400.00 outlet pipe from the rear lots. He reviewed several alternates: 1. A french drain or wet well, but stated it would not be practical. 2. A sump pump. 3. Removal of trees and additional fill. 4. Storm sewer outlet. 4 Council Minutes October 21, 1986 Dan Osborn, the owner of Lot 16, recommended that if a resolution is not accomplished in the near future, that the City Council should deny further permit approval for the developer and builders of the lots. He stated that he would contribute up to $1,000.00 toward the storm sewer outlet. Steve Reed, the owner of Lot 14, requested the storm sewer be installed and would contribute up to $2,000.00. Mr. Dannecker, the owner of Lot 15, was present and stated he would contribute toward resolving the problem. John Moffat, the owner of Lot 13, noted that his lot is about 20 to 30 feet higher than Lots 14 through 16 and recommended against assessing costs against adjoining lots. David Carroll of Sunshine Construction Co. noted that some of the discount was used to place fill and about $4,500.00 worth of fill was placed in the rear of the lot on which a home was constructed by Sunshine Construction Co. Wally Hafstad of Heritage Energy Homes also appeared and stated that $5,000.00 had been spent filling the lot on which Heritage Homes built a residence. He further noted that City inspectors had inspected the lot during construction. Councilman Wachter moved that the developer and builders should resolve the issues to the City Engineer's specifications and that the residential owners not be required to pay an additional amount to resolve the issue. There was no second. Mr. Wachter also suggested cutting off building permits for the builders, and plat approval for the developer. Councilman Ellison noted that it did not appear to be possible to come to an agreement by the affected parties and that the Council does not have enough information to determine if the builders were at fault. Councilman Egan also submitted that it would not be logical to withdraw permits without further evidence. Mr. Reed stated that he would not contribute to a sump pump and Councilman Smith asked if the three owners would contribute toward a sump pump solution. There was discussion concerning the total estimated cost of $18,000.00 being split between three parties including $6,000.00 by the City, $6,000.00 by the affected residential owners, and $6,000.00 by the developer and builders. Mayor Blomquist then moved to close the hearing and to encourage the three groups to contribute toward the permanent solution, consisting of a storm sewer outlet and further, to approve the project for the storm sewer alternate, subject to such an agreement being entered into; but in the event that no such agreement is entered into, that the project not be ordered in. Councilman Egan seconded the motion and all voted yes, except Wachter who voted against.
