Time Frame on Project APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY SITE Councilwoman Morris 3/1/83 Page -13- Councilwoman Morris then inquired what would be done with the area already dug up if the project does not take place. It was her understanding that a portion of the property was owned by Mr. Suitts and he would have to refill the area. Wurl advised that Borrow Area I would be just an extension and part of Harper Lake, and Borrow Area II will be a low area and hope- fully will be Harper Reservoir. Area I would be dedicated to the City in the future. Bill Suitts and Craig Krueger have verbally agreed to make the dedication. Relative to the time frame, Administrator Wurl advised hopefully the project would be complete within an 18 months period. This of course is contingent upon the grant from the State. The project has been approved by the State in terms of design, use and standards. There is a probability that the configuration of the project could be smaller pending approval of the State, unless council wishes to pro- ceed with one of the options that will be presented at the study session pertinent to the financing. Further stated the City would save $1.50 for every yard of dirt removed from the area at an ultimate savings of approximately $225,000.00. Discussion by council of the property owners involved; how the streets would tie in to the project; assurance that there would be mosquito and futile dust control as the pro- ject progresses; restoring the area to its natural state; and no less than a 300' buffer be allowed between the Hillsborough West park area and Harper Lake. Mayor Meier moved, Councilman Ferrera seconded that preliminary site approval be authorized for the Harper Lake plan as presented. Did not wish to be misintrepreted; was in favor on the project - reiterated she still felt that it was being done backwards. Felt she needed much more information - would vote no on the motion.
