AUGUST 26, 1998 - 6:30 P.M.:
1. KELLER PROPERTY
Lenny Leuer introduced the first item
Paul Robinson said that the proposal that was being talked about is 20,000 square foot
lots - bigger than present lots in Medina Morningside - lots will be sewered - Keller is
proposing a road coming off Willow and running west
Ted Hedtke, 1352 Maplewood Drive, questioned the sewer - understood sewer was
loaded to capacity with Medina Morningside - 3-4 houses on the west end are not
hooked up - has no objection to the houses
Loren Kohnen said that is right - the 3 houses to the west are on septic tanks - lift
station will pump the extra houses with no problem - the city will not give extra sewer
units - Fred Keller must apply to Orono for the sewer
Fred Keller said there are not units of sewer for this property at present - lift station was
designed for this property - if this is approved we will not develop until sewer units are
available.
Ted Hedtke - what other requirements for houses: We don't want any low cost housing
in there.
Doug Sorensen, 2645 Morningside Rd., talked of split level housing - previous city
lawyer pushed it through - low income shacks
Loren Kohnen - we put in minimum square footage - if you meet standards of ordinance,
you can build -
Doug Sorensen - those homes are not split level - they are split foyer
Paul Robinson - this will be 20,000 square foot lots - economics will be for better
houses.
