Question by Richard Potz: Does Mr. Lybeck plan to stage develop
this subdivision, if not approval should be denied. Answer: Mr.
Lybeck, the developer, his proposal was that this subdivision would
be developed in three stages. The first addition would envelop
approximately one -third of the total area.
A request has been made of.the Planning Commission that if sewer was
not available that a building permit be issued to every second or
third lot until municipal sewer would be available. Mr._Schvler,
Vice Chairmai, Planning Commission, gave a report and explained the
Planning Commission progress to date on this subdivision, read the
letter to Mr. Lybeck from the Planning Commission dated December 19,
1968. This letter requested that Mr..Lybeck. state his intentions.'
for paying for the individual sewer, water, storm sewer, streets,
how he planned to handle the assessments or cost of installation.
The answer received from Mr. Lybeck dated December 23, 1968, stated
in detail his plans for paying for these services.
Mr. Ed Seim spoke both as an individual and as a member of the Park
and Recreation. The two levels that he spoke on were #1 the flaws
in the plat as stands and #2 the place of this plat in overall
development of the community. Mr. Seim brought up questions pertaining
to the soil capabilities of this area also the problems that they
might face in the future with drainage, septic systems, silting and
possibly flooding also a major concern was the natural beauty of the
land in proximity to the two lakes and what development would do to
the pollution of these two lakes.
