Town of Yarrow Point Minutes Council 1/8/85 Page 2 Willoughby Drain- Allan reported that during December. Bolles Construction had been out to work on the problem. They had to remove 10-15 feet:.of pipe which was impas- sible because of roots. This section was replacesdas well as, two 20 foot section of: pipe. Allan recommends that Roto--Rooter come out every 6 months to clear the pipe. Allan stated there is still clean up work to be done which will be completed after the weather improves. Authorization was given by the Council to continue with this project until corrected. Allan stated the alternative of putting in a new catch basin on the old Rogers property so that RotorRooter will have easier access to clean the pipes should be considered. Pavement 94th- Allan had reviewed the records for Street Opening Permits to determine why the patches are there. Allan could not determine the origin of the patches which are settling. Bender-Chaffee.Allan reported on the progress of the Evanson Subdivision. There still appears to be an erosion problem at the construction site. The Mayor commented on the number of residents attending the meeting and asked if they had questions or comments on any of the subjects already discussed. He was asked if Points. Drive would be a topic of discussion. The Mayor stated that the subject had come up in Allan's report and nothing further was planned for this evening. The majority of the residents left the meeting. is REVISION OF ORDINANCE 225 The Clerk read the proposed change in language from the December meeting. Discussion followed. Erik Lund questioned whether this had impact on the width. Clarification was given that the width of a private lane is 20 feet and the easement 15 feet. Mr. Lund further expressed concern over the current developers not having to meet the same requirements of the early developers. He stated that this is legislating against neighbors and friends. Larry stated that at the time the Ordinance was drafted it was the intent that if a landowner could divide the property into more than two lots the 20 foot drive was required. He further stated that the intent was to reduce the number of exceptions and bring equity othus limiting driveway easement as much as was prudent-. Carson added that the easement- width is considerably in excess of that which will be covered by gravel or pavement. Carson then defined driveway easement as a point of clarification as access to land loc%ed piece of. property. Mr. Lund then drew a sketch to illustrate his point. Mr. :..stated it wasn't fair to say that there is a higher degree of standard when you develop 3 lots than when you develop only 2. Allan commented that there is a difference because with three lots you have to allow for a water main and fire hydrant and not with two. Carson then commented that if property can be subdivided into more than 2 lots the developer has to put in full requirement. if the land can be divided in only 2 lots then a driveway is all that is required and can be approached by driveway easement of 15 feet. Ron Dickinson and Allan agreed to work together on clarification to prevent conflict between Ordinance 291 and Ordinance 225. They are to come back to next meeting with their recommendation. Ron added that he thought aftertthat it should go back to the Planning Commission for their comments. TOWN BALL SURVEY Mel handed out a copy of the draft of the questionaire for the residents regarding their Town of Yarrow Point Minutes Council 1/8/85 Page 3 so input of ideas for the proposed Town Hall. The Council and Staff are to complete and return to Mel within one week. TREASURER'S REPORT Lorraine referred to the December 31, 1984 report which had been submitted to the Council. Balance of Nov. 30 cash and dividends with additional revenue received 12/l/84-12/31/84 yields a year end amount,.. of $467,883.98. All of the investments were sold as of 12/31/84. This was done so that the interest could be included in the year end 1984. The Ending Fund Balances as of 12/31/84 are all in cash amounting to $205,877.65. The Treasurer immediately reinvested the funds. $100,000 is invested for four months at 9.885. This leaves enough to -,:carry the Town for any special funding unknown at this time. $75,000 is invested for this purpose but not for as long. It was pointed that this is not high risk because most of the money is in Capital Improvement Funds which are not planned_for use for some time. The Balance of the money is left to pay warrants and earns: interest in a Mega Fund. Revenue received in December was almost $29,999. The Final Budget for 1985 is now complete with Ending Fund Balance 1984 and Beginning Fund Balance 1985 included.
