11/5/81 Page -4- along Coal Creek. A slide presentation was sho"m of the property and each member of Council had been provided with a copy of the impact statement and a schematic development proposal. The applicant has agreed to the terms of the City and the annexation agreement had been signed. Daly Road would provide principle means of access to the site from the north and to the west. The area does lie within the urban services area of the City, zoning is consistent with the recommendations of the comprehensive plan - staff's recommendation is for approval of the annexation and zoning request. Mayor Caranci Inquired if part of the site was in the flood plain area. Director Rupp replied yes a portion of the land does lie in the flood plain area; however the development will be outside the 100 year flood plain. Staff asked the applicant to bring in most of Coal Creek as part of the annexation in order to develop our trail system along Coal Creek and to be left in its natural state, and the applicant has agreed to this. Mayor Caranci asked if there was anyone present supporting the application. None. Anyone opposed to the application - none. DENNIS DRUM}l, 744 ~~IN ST. REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT He advised that the impact statement pro- vides for 320 units, after planning the figure is 316 units. The entire area, approximately 26 acres along the flood plain will be dedicated to the City as natural open space. The Superior outfall sewer line that will run from the Shopping Center to the Sewer Plant also crosses this land. In the sketch plan it was indicated that the sewer line would be internal to this sub- division, but the plan has been modified so that it falls outside so it will run unobstructed through this area, consequently there will be no problem with the easement for this sewer line. Mr. Drumm also stated that the area had been undermined in the past. The appropriate studies had been completed by Dr. Charles Robinson's firm Converse/ Ward and found to be safe for development.
