NEW BUSINESS
Approve encroachment in easement – lot 32 Kenwood Estates(Michael Hughes) –
Director McMullen explained Kenwood Place subdivision originally showed several
drainage easements for the ditch-line along the southern portion of the development.
During the design of the development, the developer filled in the ditch and installed a
36-40” concrete pipe to enhance the lots. The drainage easement for the ditchline is
much greater than necessary for the maintenance of a storm sewer pipe. The property
owner purchased this lot with the intention of building a deck with a canopy. The steps
of the deck and cantilever will encroach up to four feet into the easement. The
encroachment of the deck into the easement will have no negative impacts on the
drainage system or the easement. Staff is recommending approval of the revocable
occupancy permit. Ald. Borgman moved to recommend to Common Council the
approval of the Revocable Occupancy permit for Michael Hughes and Amy
Loizzo. Seconded by Ald. Melcher. Motion carried 3-0.
Acceptance of Improvements – Quietwood Creek – Director McMullen explained the
developer has fulfilled all of his obligations to the City, including items discussed with
several private homeowners and the association, and staff is recommending
acceptance of improvements by the City. Ald. Buckmaster agreed that all items
documented on a walkthrough two years ago have been completed. Ald. Buckmaster
also noted the school district’s cooperation with the City by installing the diverting
structure to alleviate a drainage problem for several lots. Ald. Borgman moved to
recommend to Common Council the acceptance of improvements for the
Quietwood Creek Subdivision. Seconded by Ald. Melcher. Motion carried 3-0.
