state law, but property owners were welcome to avail themselves of the existing rezoning process through the City's Planning and Zoning Commission. 7. John Joerns discussed the benefits of proposed utilities to property owners. He reminded them that they were not free - development of property would require the payment of front-foot fees if the City installed. rfthey were not constructed due to budget constraints, property owners would be responsible for construction, with the possibility of reimbursement under the utility extension policy. Ron Bavarius stated that the utilities had not yet been designed. His firm has performed a feasibility study for water and sewer construction, looking at several alternatives, and that the recommended alternative would be designed as soon as the City authorized the proposal submitted for design. He also stated that, under the preferred alternative, a small lift station site (25'x25') would be required in the southeast portion of the Project. 8. Questions: ~ Existing resident have mailboxes on west side of Canada, with residences on the east side. How will they cross busy, 4-lane road to get mail. Staff will research the possibility of the Postal Service changing mail delivery to the east side of Canada prior to construction. ~ Property owners questioned whether regional detention was design or contemplated. The current road design does not contemplate draining acreage - only to roadway. Discussion was held that the City consider incorporation of a regional detention facility in the road design or, possibly incorporate detention in the design and development of the proposed park. ~ Property owners wanted to know the process for property donation for Right of Way. Knox Askins explained the process. Property owners were directed to contact Steve Gillett to initiate the process, and he would coordinate with Mr. Askins. ~ Potholes on existing Canada Road from HCFCD construction.
