UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
RECONSIDERATION OF SAGEMOOR PARK REPLAT. Mr. Snider moved to approve time
extension, as requested in Dr. Nelson's letter of November 1, 1977. Seconded
by Mr. Sheeley. (Discussion)
Mr. Ajax briefly explained bonding requirements in response to Mr. Schuelein.
In essence, if Dr. Nelson posts bond, he would have a year from January, 1978,
to make improvements under the old standards. Mr. Snider asked, "my motion
waives bonding, doesn't it?" Staff replied correct. Mr. Snider further stated
he would like to see the project completed and it would probably have to be along
the standards agreed upon by previous staff and council.
Mr. Sheeley asked if standards applied to entire area or just Dr. Nelson's
1/4 interest. Staff replied that no communications had been received from owners
of other 3/4. Mr. Sheeley suggested that standards be drawn up according to
City specifications so that when a developer comes in, he knows what is expected
of him and what the City will offer. Staff concurred with this.
Mr. Snider favored old standards being applied to keep costs down as he felt
Dr. Nelson was striving to provide a nice residential community for people of
moderate means.
Dr. Nelson concurred that this was becoming quite involved; however, he was
doing everything he could and as fast as he could. He reiterated he wanted to
develop his 1/4 only and an extension of time should not affect the City.
Mr. Adams asked Dr. Nelson how much cost would be involved to put the water and
sewer lines in street instead of alley. Dr. Nelson replied that it would increase
costs greatly to move lines.
Mr. Schuelein asked if the City was obligated to provide street lighting. Mr. Ajax
replied this could be a policy question. Mr. Snider responded by stating the City
did not provide streets, lighting or sidewalks in other parts of the City; therefore,
favored L.I.D. process.
Main motion carried by roll call vote of four (4). Councilmen Tidrick and
Schuelein voting no.
APPOINTMENT - HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD;
Mayor Tidrick thanked Mr. Russell Wiseman and Mr. Harry Moore for their interest
in Housing Authority Board. He advised them the Council would discuss their
selection in Executive Session and announce their decision at the next regular
meeting of the City Council.
