(Mayor Branning and Councilmember Humphrey attended during this time.) Mr. Kelley said the finding of fact on the EAW indicate that an Environmental Impact State- ment is not warranted. One comment is that the Planned Urbanization Map of the City's Comprehensive Plan does not anticipate development of this area until after 1990. The City's Planning Consultant is pursuing an amendment to include this area in the 1985-90 urbanizing area.

The entire area is being platted with 40 single family lots and the balance in out- lots. The first phase will not include extension of Garden View Drive, however, if construction on it has not eommenced by May 30, 1986, the developer agrees to the City installing it and assessing the cost. Park dedication consists of Outlots C and D, containing 7.30 acres, and $25,000 in cash to be collected with building permits. Councilmember Savanick expressed concern about completion of Garden View Drive. Mr. Gretz said the developer is concerned about soil conditions in the southern part of the property and may want to consider changing the townhouse area to single family. For this reason, it does not want to begin construction until next year. Mr. Kelley reviewed the details of the Environmental Impact Statement Decision and Findings which included comments on maintaining the lake water quality and shoreline. MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Goodwin, adopting Resolution No. 1985- 140 making a negative declaration on the need for an Environ- mental Impact Statement for the development known as Lac Lavon Shores. RES. 1985-140 LAC LAVON NEG. EIS CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota July 15, 1985 Page 2 Councilmember Savanick said she believes the comments on prohibiting motorized watercraft on the lake are good and should be implemented. Jon Gurban said he has briefly discussed this with Burnsville, since both Cities would need to imple- ment it, and they seemed agreeable. He will pursue this and report back on it. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Holton, approving the final plat and development agreement for Lac Lavon Shores and authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to sign the same. LAC LAVON PLAT & AGRMT. Councilmember Savanick questioned the assessment procedure for Garden View Drive as contained in paragraph 8 of the agreement. The Council discussed it and agreed it is appropriate if the cost is to be assessed to all lots in the plat. Mr. Asleson said because some of the single family lots may be sold before the street is constructed, the cost would have to be shown as a pending assessment on those lots. Mayor Branning said the collector portion of the street should be assessed to all lots and the residential equivalent and utilities assessed to the abutting lots. Mr. Asleson said the City's policy has been to treat 44-foot wide streets as part of the development and assess the costs to abutting property; and not treat them as collector streets. An example is 142nd Street in Scottsbriar 1st. The Council discussed the policy further and generally felt Garden View Drive should be treated differently. It was questioned what the developer's intent was, but no one was present representing the developer. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, tabling consideration of the TABLE LAC final plat and agreement for Lac Lavon Shores until July 25, LAVON PLAT 1985. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0.
