Ross Calhoun, Herman Smith Company, addressed the Council to give an overview of the consultants involved in this case. They commissioned a traffic consultant and a drainage consultant. Mr. Calhoun stated that the City's engineer and consultant reviewed their consultants' findings. The City's consultants had a more conservative position and the Herman Smith Company accepted those numbers without debate. Mr. Calhoun continued to explain the technical aspects of the studies and reiterated that they are before Council for a Zoning Change and the City's and Mr. Smith's engineers will plan and coordinate down stream construction during the lengthy platting process which takes place prior to construction. Mayor Hawkins questioned City Manager Stripling about the priority of bond money for Chelsea Park. Councilperson Newton summarized that the two main issues are drainage and the coordination of construction of facilities needed to avoid additional problems. Stone Crest retention pond needs to be brought up to the original design prior to the development of Montclair Parco Councilperson Newton asked if this repair can occur and how quickly can it occur. City Manager Stripling's recommendation is that the City direct the developer of Stone Crest to install the changes that he has been told about immediately. It does not involve any changes to the detention area itself; it only involves changes to the out-fall area in order to keep the lesser storms contained. The developer of Stone Crest has agreed to implement these change. Warren Hagen, Washington and Associates, Inc., explained the construction schedule of lakes in stages in order to insure that a maximum amount of detention is in place as quickly as possible before they remove the existing detention facility which is now in place. Grading will need to done in conjunction with the development of the lakes because of the need to use the dirt coming out of the lakes and placing it on the lots. Grading will begin upstream and the creation of the upstream lake first. Councilperson Newton confirmed that Ross Calhoun stated they would be willing to coordinate the construction with the City drainage improvements through Chelsea Park. Mr. Calhoun said that he will schedule construction according the City's and the City's consultants' requirements. Councilperson McKain questioned the traffic study in relation to achieving the best dispersal of traffic with only one access as opposed to two accesses. Mr. Calhoun explained the study. Upon the widening of Hall JOhnson, it will be a higher speed facility than Montclair. The traffic consultants did not want to exit residential traffic onto a major thoroughfare. Councilperson Newton questioned the current placement of a cul-de-sac which could possibly be opened onto Hall Johnson to give the subdivision additional traffic access. Mr. Calhoun explained that it was designed currently to give internal protection and that security is of extreme importance to the residents within the subdivision. The streets will be public CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 1991 PAGE 3 streets and will be inspected by and dedicated to the City. Significant landscaping will be placed at the entrance on Montclair. Councilperson MCKnight emphasized that the bond money schedule stated by the City Manager does not include streets. Once the money is used for drainage improvements, street improvements could be delayed for a considerable amount of time. The drainage will be coordinated with the developer of Montclair Parco The construction of the lakes will be engineered during the platting process. He has no problem with the entrances to the subdivision. Trees will be protected as much as possible. The recommendation of the requirement that the Stone Crest drainage be built to plan and the developer of Stone Crest needs to be instructed to complete that as soon as possible. Councilperson Feigel stated that the major problem with Montclair Parc is timing. There are unresolved issues in Stone Crest and hopefully they can be resolved. It would not be prudent to assume that they can be resolved immediately due to opposition from the owners of homes in Stone Crest. This is not an issue to be taken lightly. There are questions of detention during the construction process, and the City must address them to insure that the homes in Chelsea Park will not be at any more risk during the construction of Montclair Parc than they will be at some later date. The drainage of Chelsea Park needs to be addressed as a priority. The Council has not looked at the bond money yet to determine what the priorities will be. Consequently, it would be premature to assume that immediate drainage improvements will happen. Even if it is a priority, the construction of drainage in Chelsea needs to be coordinated with the planning of the lakes within Montclair Parco One access is an issue as well which may be resolved in the platting process. The unresolved issues related to drainage need to be resolved to a better extent than they are at this point. Councilperson Newton wanted to insure some kind of controls on the activity on land such as clearing be in place to secure that the sequence of events happen correctly to avoid any drainage or flooding risks and he asked the question if this can be done by approval of engineering plans. The developer's engineer stated that the current retention facility, which will handle any of the current rains which we are experiencing, will remain in place throughout the construction period. This pond will not be removed until the three additional ponds are built. City Engineer Mike Jones explained the definition of a 100 year flood. Ross Calhoun expressed the desire to be a good neighbor and not build anything unless approval of the City is received. Zoning needs to be obtained before they can proceed with the platting process. He stated that the City is in control of the ongoing schedule and the developer will not do anything to the property until they receive permission to do something. Councilperson McKnight expressed that this is the most looked at case he has seen since he has been involved in the City. Councilperson McKain made a motion based upon staff recommendations that the zoning be approved with the condition that prior to the submittal of a final plat, a detailed engineering design be provided for the proposed drainage improvements in conformance with the drainage study presented, and vehicular access points be provided to the subdivision from both Hall Johnson Rd. and Montclair. Councilperson McKnight seconded the motion. The vote being: Ayes: Noes: Ahlers, McKain, MCKnight Newton, Feigel 5.

Those present wishing to speak were Marie Pennington, 2516 Hall Johnson Road. Mayor Hawkins stated that Parkland Dedication Fees were not applicable. Perimeter street fees cannot be waived because of it being a part of Highland Meadows V. The fees apply to the subdivision of land which is a part of the Pennington's property. The cost of fees need to be addressed between the Penningtons and the developer. David Pennington, 2516 Hall Johnson Road, addressed the Council. Mayor Hawkins explained the Perimeter Street Fee process. There being no one else present to speak, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilperson Ahlers expressed her sympathy to the Penningtons regarding the platting process and stated that the only solution the Penningtons have to alleviate their paying Perimeter Street Fees is to negotiate the fee in the sale of the property because the City does not have any mechanism which permits waiving the fee for a subdivision. Councilperson Newton questioned the corner clips instead of a radius on lots within the subdivision. He questioned if there will be a culvert under Whitehaven N. going out to Pool. Councilperson Newton questioned the drainage plan in relationship to Ballantrae Drive and the taking of water to Hall Johnson Road.
