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.
Motion by Smith, seconded by Patterson, to approve the
preliminary plat of Riverside Terrace Single Family Phase as presented. Plats
