. . . Planning Commission Minutes June 27, 1995 Page 4 children is a concern, but that the increase in traffic would not be significant in relation to the amount of traffic Troy Street is designed to carry. Discussion followed regarding possible future roads to connect the Weatherwood subdivision with other city streets. tv1r. Mastley stated that at the time of the Fairhaven Hills development, Troy Street was graded for future extension of the street and was fenced. Gary Schmitz explained that tv1r. Mastley was the developer of the Fairhaven Hills subdivision. Commissioner Tacheny questioned the purpose of the county ditch. Terry Maurer explained that the ditch was designed for agricultural purposes, not urban development. He noted that the City is working with the County for special legislation whereby the City can take over and maintain the ditches as part of the urban drainage system. It is not anticipated that the county will be doing anything more than making emergency repairs in the interim. The developer responsibility will be limited to maintaining the agricultural purposes of the ditch and that the drainage plan should show no additional runoff from the plat than currently exists. Terry explained that some of the wetland shown on the plat may be caused by breaks in the county ditch. Gary Schmitz stated that if the county ditch is maintained, some of the wetlands may shrink in size. Commissioner Tacheny questioned whether or not it would be appropriate to grant preliminary plat approval without the developer securing the necessary wetland permits. Gary explained that if the developer were to submit plans and obtain the permits for wetland replacement, he would run the risk that the Planning Commission or City Council would request changes in the plat.
