V. CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL. GRADING I_N THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE MAJOR
CENTTt ER AREA
Don Opheim and Dean Wenger, engineering consultant, were present to represent
the petitioners. Opheim explained two requests for additional grading: first,
approximately 25,000 additional cubic yards to be removed from the Teman prop-
erty to finish sloping and previous grading commitments by the City; second,
an additional 25,000 cubic yards to be moved from each of the three properties
(Teman, Bermel , Feeders) and charged back as a 5-year special assessment. City
Attorney Pauly advised the Council that any grading work done by the City must
be in conjunction with an authorized public works project. The City is not
authorized by Statutes to make improvements on private property. Jullie ad-
vised that there was a City responsibility, as part of the right-of-way nego-
tiations process, to place approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material on
the west side of Prairie Center Drive. To date only about 75,000 cubic yards
had been so placed. The Council ' s action was as follows:
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to allow grading to continue on
the Teman property to complete the 3: 1 sloping as outlined in previous grading
commitments, with approximately 25,O00 additional cubic yards to be moved to
M the west side of Prairie Center Drive. Motion carried unanimously .
The proponents were then advised to consider submission of a 100% petition for
grading and backsloping on Singletree Lane, a future City street. Along with
the petition, proponents should also submit grading plans and a commitment for
right-of-way dedication.
