Iry Coppel of Leisure Technology, Developer of Riverside Terrace, and Jim Congdon of Smith Engineering addressed the Council concerning approval of Riverside Terrace Single Family preliminary plat. Several points were brought to the Councils attention. Coppel should consult with the City Staff when it came time to install curb cuts in the City owned property in the subdivision. At Outlot A where property is being designated for a possible future extension of FAP 420, the present plat indicates that the City is to maintain the detention area. Coppel said that the intention was that when the engineering was finalized and when the exact location of the detention area was determined, the retention portion of Outlot A would be dedicated to the City and there would be an access easement for use by the City. Also, the nature of the improvements along Riverside Drive would be addressed when the final plat is presented. It was pointed out that Outlot A which is next to Lot 13 in the northwest corner of the subdivision was donated for a water tower site. Coppel said this was a separate conveyance and had nothing to do with the plat being presented at this time. It is a separate lot which abuts the subdivision but is not part of it. Narusis agreed that all of the items discussed this evening should be incorporated in the Final Plat and the Engineering Plans.
