JoEllen Hurr reviewed information from the Planning Commission meeting and their recommend-
ation to approve the Jim Lutz subdivision along Hamel Rd. into 4 parcels of 24,000+ sq. ft.
each, for multiple dwelling units. She explained that Mr. Lutz would need to 000091
provide the city with a homeowners agreement because of the need to have cross easements

agreements with the Metro Waste Control Commission for a 20 ft. temporary and a 20 ft.
permanent easement for sewer line maintenance.

8. ROLLING GREEN AREA, STORM SEWER AND STREET IMPROVEMENT PUBLIC HEARING 8:03 P.M.
William Reiser conducted this portion of the meeting in the absence of Mayor Anderson.
Glenn Cook presented information on the proposed storm sewer project for the area north of
Hwy. 55 and south of Evergreen Rd. He reported that the estimated cost for the sewer pro-
ject was $104,000 and the cost for the street improvement was either $77,650 for the platted
alignment or $52,980 for the alternate alignment. he stated that the Hunter Dr. improvement
would be paid for by the TRA Corporation and that the cost of the storm sewer project would
be assessed on an area basis according to type of zoning and acres per owner.
Bruce Hendry of Rolling Green Country Club, stated that the project would take over two
holes of the 9 hole course and that it would cost $100,000 per hole to reconstruct, with
the $12,000 being allowed for property acquisition nowhere sufficient. He stated that if
the project were to proceed as planned they would object, and he asked if there were some
alternative to the proposed ponding.
Glenn Cook stated that they had not shown the proposed ponds where the golf greens were
located.
Rick Fredrickson, Rolling Green Superintentent of Greens, stated that there are two greens
in the proposed area that would be flooded.
Glenn Cook stated that a 100 year flood might be a problem but the water flows to the
south and normal years rainfall would not flood the area.
Mr. Hendry stated that the proposed location of Hunter Rd. would be detrimental to any
future development of Rolling Green.
JoEllen Hurr explained that the streets shown on the plan have not been platted and are
only ideas.
Curt , engineer for Rolling Green asked the size of the area for which the ponds
would store water.
Mr. Cook stated approximately 90 acres.
Curt asked for the elevation of the ponds and how long it would take to drain them.
Mr. Cook stated the elevation would be 4 ft. from a normal to high water level in a 100
year flood and that it would take 12 hours to drain.
Laurance Elwell, 6125 Hwy. 101, stated that he has 31 acres in the project and even with
a culvert clogged for a number of years a small amount of water runs into the area. He
stated that he could see no benefit to his property. The property to the south could have
18 homes per acre and his property,1 house per 5 acres, unless it were sewered. He stated
that he would need to determine the economic benefit to his property before the project
began.
George Favorite, 5205 Hwy. 101, stated that the water from east of Hwy. 101 runs across
his property and floods it so he would gain nothing from this project. He explained that
if ditches along Hwy. 101 were done properly the water would run in the ditches either
north or south and not onto his property.
Mr. Cook explained that the state highway department had installed the culverts so that
the water would run in its natural direction but that the direction of flow could be
changed.
Joe Raskob, owner of 1/6 of the TRA property, stated that he did not care whether there
was an open ditch or a storm sewer, he did not want to harm anyone financially.
Moved by Crosby, seconded by Heideman to close the Public Hearing.
Motion declared carried
Public Hearing was closed at 8:40 P.M.
Thomas Crosby asked how the TRA property could be served without affecting the 000095
other properties.
Mr7 Cook stated that it could be serviced without including the other areas but that in
the future those area will need storm sewer.
Mr. Crosby asked the the city could notify those property owners that would now be ex-
cluded, that they could not develop their properties unless they provide storm sewer.
Anne Heideman asked what percentage of run-off would be generated by the various areas.
Mr. Cook stated that the developed area would generate 50-60% versus 30-40% if undeveloped.
Mr. Hendry asked if a smaller pipe would serve the TRA property and if so why is it necess-
ary to put in a larger one.
Mr. Cook stated that a 40 inch pipe would be needed, at some time, to service the property
to the north.
Richard Schieffer explained that State Statutes allow for a portion of the cost of a project
to be deferred for a stated number of years or until a stated amount of development occurs.
Larry Elwell explained that he could direct his drainage to the north and would have no
use for this service. He stated that the project is creating an additional developable
area for the TRA partnership and that they should pay an additional charge for that ability.
Mr. Crosby stated that the entire benefit was not for the TRA property. hr asked if Mr.
Elwell could calm non -benefit if he could tile his property so the water would run in
another direction.
Mr. Schieffer stated that he could not claim non -benefit.
Mr. Crosby asked how property owners outside of the TRA area could be put on notice that
they could not develop until the problem was solved.
Mr. Schieffer stated that it would be difficult to allow those properties to be excluded
as they could not be charged for this project at a future date, only upstream work could
be charged.
Mr. Crosby asked how the project would be assessed.
Mr. Cook stated the number of years for the assessment would be 10 and the dollars per acre
according to the type of zoning.
Mr. Hendry asked what the cost would be for Rolling Green Country Club.
Mr. Cook stated,approximately $20,000.
Wilfred Scherer asked if the project could be done without the Rolling Green property.
Mr. Cook stated that it could but they would prefer to have the ponds on that property.
Mr. Scherer asked about having ponds on the Elwell property and across Evergreen Rd.
Mr. Cook stated that ponds in those areas would help.
Donna Roehl stated that a earlier plan for the Medina Motel showed ponds on that property
as requested by Elm Creek Watershed Commission.
Jackie Valerius of Rolling Green asked why a 9 ton road for the TRA property and the Storm
Sewer project were being combined into one.
Mr. Cook stated that the road is for only the TRA property and will be assessed to them.
Mr. Crosby stated that he would like the following information:
1. What the cost of a system to serve only the TRA property, would be, with options
for 10, 15, or 20 year bonding.
2. Cost of project assuming credit to Rolling Green for $12,000 and without Elwell
property.
3. Affect on payment of bonds under current Green Acres deferrment allowance.
Larry Elwell asked if the TRA property would pay for future project on other properties
to the north.
Mr. Schieffer stated that the city was attempting to avoid that situation by designing for
the maximum need through this plan.
Mr. Cook stated that any laterals being constructed would be paid for by those developers.
Mr. Elwell stated that he had a problem designating his a lateral and all of the rest trunk
lines when his property is larger. He asked why Medina Ballroom property is not included
because they did berming befor this project was designed.
Mr. Cook explained that the drainage from the Ballroom parking lot runs across 000096
their parking lot to Hwy. 55.
Moved by Crosby, seconded by Heideman to table action on the proposed storm sewer and
street project pending receipt of additional information from the city engineer.

for construction of a garage at 3045 Lakeshore Ave. She explained a plan for backing out
of the garage without having to back directly out onto the street.
Mr. Orth explained that he was asking for the same variance he had originally requested,
that is, eaves 2 inches from the property line.
Mrs. Hurr stated that his original variance had expired, as a variance expires after 1
year.
Mr. Orth stated that he started the project some years ago and did not continue because
he was injured in a fall. He then was told by the Building Inspector that he could have
his building permit renewed. He also explained that the footings for the addition wer
in place.

footings but that he had done so against their instructions.
