Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Liebl said this item concerned the sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer improvement project number 102 and was north of Osborne Road. Mayor Liebl read the memorandum from the Finance Director concerning the project aloud to the Council and audience. The City Engineer said Che first item would be north of 79th and west of University and the assessment price would be $15.25 per front foot for the water laterals. Councilman Breider asked how close to the estimaYed price had this amount come. The City Engineer said the first price Was approximately $14.44 per front foot in this area. Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to speak on this portion of the improvement. There was no response. The City Engineer placed a map of the second partion of the system on the map on the overhead pro�ector and said the project included the sanitary sewer laterals. He said the assessment price would be $18.09 and had been $18.00 at the preliminary hear3ng. Mayor Liebl said this would be the final assessment. He asked if there was anyone in the audience who had a question on this area. There was no response. The City Engineer said Che aorth area of the storm sewer would have very little piping and the remainder of the area would be ditched. He added the assessments � for this area would be $1.49 per 100 square feet. He said at farst there had been plans but some of the development did not go through. He added, there would be some additional work to be done in the future. �� PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 1973 PAGE 2 The City Attorney asked if there would be some way of designating that this would only be a partial system. He said he would not want people to think they had paid the entire amount of storm sewer assessment. He asked if the property was searched, could this be mentioned on the searches. The Finance Director said this assessment could be indicated on the records of � the assessing department as a partial assessment. Mayor Liebl questioned if this would be legally proper. The City Attorney said he would not want the people to obtain a search and have them told that the system is in, and paid for. The Einance Director said this information could be put right on the roll. The City Engineer went on to discuss the south storm sewer system and stated this is another system where there may be some question. He said the area has been divided in to two districts. He said the completed system would be $3,30 per 100 square feet for interceptors. He said this is another area where there is no interceptor system. He said the system receiving portions of interceptors east of the railroad track would he completed this winter. Mayor Liebl asked if this type o£ method had been used before, had the system been installed in two different operations. The Finance Director said yes, He said it had been done where the lateral system did not cover the same area as the main. He said this is the reason for two districts. The City Engineer said the estimated cost of the system had been $8.18 per 100 per square feet. He said this amout� included the mains and laterals, now the amount would be $6.25 for the same 100 square feet for the complete system. He said this would be about 30% saving which had been achieved because of the material used for fill from Burlington Northern. He said some of the materials � had been obtained for no cost and this was keeping the cost at a lower figure. MOTION by Councilman Breider to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Council- man Nee.

Mayor Liebl asked the architect for the Wall Corporation, Mr, Reese, if he was authorized to speak for the Wall Corporation. Mr. Reese said yes. Mayor Liebl said the City would like to have some kind of assurance that when the pro�ect is completed it will be properly maintained. He added, if the units were to be privateiy owned, they would be maintained better. Mr. Aeese said Mr. Dante would be taking care of the management of the complex and he would be at the meeting in a short time and would 6e able to answer questions concerning the management of the complex. The City Engineer said the Wall Corporation would agree to all of the original stipulations set by the Council with the exception of the addition of a tennis � court. He added, the Planning Commission still feels this should 6e included in the plans. He said their feeling was that the Commons Park area is already over burdened and this type of facility should be included when the number of units would be as high as this. The Ciey Engineer said the Planning Commission had recommended the Council include the tennis court in the plans for the complex. The City Engineer said the Wall Corporation said they are seeking some additional space on the complex grounds. L�C J PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF AUGUST 13 1973 PAGE 3 � Councilman Breider said after the complex is completed and there is an association established, the association could determine the need for the tennis courts and include them if they wish. He said he could only go just so far on recreation. He said perhaps, the people would not even want the tennis courts. He stressed, if the association wants the tennis court they could put it in. The City Engineer said most of the points of stipulation had been agreed upon and the oChers could be worked out. He said there would be an additional stipulations that they would provide proper drainage. He sai� the stipulation and conditions previously agreed upon concerning the traffic would remain the same. He said the apartment plan area had been modified and the complex would include a recreation facility. He said if the Council would agree to the stipulations, they would be incorporated in the original agreement between the City and the Wall Corporation. He added, if the Council would approve the final plan and stipulations, the agreement could be executed. Mayor Liehl said he would like to stress the importance of item number eight of the stipulations. He said ha would encourage the use of brick as this was very important and he hoped the representatives of the Wa11 Corporation would keep this point in mind. Mayor Liebl said this would affect the overall pro�ect. Mayor Liebl read the stipulations aloud to the Council and the audience. He said he thought point would be mandatory to the appearance of the complex. � Mr. Reese said the developer agrees with all of the stipulaCions. Mayor Liebl said the stipulation concerning the brack would mean the difference between a superb or a medium appearing project. MOTION by Councilman Breider to concur and amend the original agreement between Wall Corporation and I��idel with the Planning Commission recommendations and stipulations with the following additions: 1. That the three feet below the 50 year flood elevation be restricted to the swimming pool area only. 2. That Yhe tennis cou�rt be deleted from the plan, and carried for reference. 3.

The City Engineer said if there are any ordinance violations, the City would have to go after the property owner with the ordinance, they cannot use the license for an ordinance violation. The City Attorney suggested Mr. Aldrich submit a memo to the Council on what he is looking for in recommending approval of the license. The City Attorney said they should know if he is looking primarily for fire safety or if he also looks for adequate garbage axld trash handling and removal.
