Item#3 4th of July-Councilmember Hardy stated a lot of people has missed the 4th of July, can we help fund it but not be responsible. Councilmember Lay asked what activities do you want to do. Mr. Allen stated we want to keep it traditional with the dunk tank, kid games, grease pole, face painting, pie eating contest and a breakfast. Peterson Park charges $375.00 for a day's rent. Councilmember Lay stated in the past no one would help with the 4th of July. Councilmember Goodliffe stated in regards to homemade pies and food, whoever makes the pies or food has to have a county health department permit. Councilmember Pace asked if the town can give the money to sponsor the 4th of July. The council told them to keep moving forward with it, they thanked them for following through. Item#4 &5 Estates at Riverview Subdivision Preliminary Plat-Heritage Development- Garth Day thanked the Council for time on the agenda. Garth presented the 8 lot subdivision on 5600 west. Garth stated we are going to start with the frontage lots, a loop road that's still a work in progress. I have been working with Brandon and as we work through it, we will figure it out. Garth stated we have 37 acres, we would like to work with the town to see what they want. If you want something like what the neighboring property did with residential and commercial. Councilmember Hardy asked what do you want behind the homes? Garth stated he would like residential. This subdivision will have 2 stubbed roads. Mayor Nelson stated that the planning commission approved the preliminary plat subdivision and recommended it to town council. Mayor Nelson asked if lots 1,2,7 & 8 would be restricted and Garth stated yes they would be. Garth stated he would like to not do curb and gutter, but if you want it I will do it. You waved curb and gutter on our 4800 west project and we should have done something different. What we would like to do is a ribbon curve and I'm asking for a special exception for curb and gutter on 5600 west and we would like to do a 2 foot ribbon drain swell instead. I don't see a lot of water there is an issues and I'm not sure how we will get water from lot 2 to 3 because of the Wood's property. Councilmember Hardy asked Garth if the homes would have basements, Garth replayed no basements. Mayor Nelson stated he appreciates your statement but I drove around today, in Cottonwood landing and Mark's subdivision they are filling them in and they can't drain anywhere. Garth sated if you put in sidewalk you are putting in a barrier and that will help. Councilmember Lay asked how deep the swell is. Garth stated its about 3 feet. Councilmember Pace asked what the planning commission thoughts were. Councilmember Goodliffe stated they agreed with some of what Garth said. Councilmember Goodliffe disagrees there is going to be more water on this property than what you think. I wonder if we could put the drainage from curb and gutter into Mark's drainage in to the river. Mayor Nelson thinks that's not an option due to that it's uphill. Councilmember Goodliffe stated he is concerned about the proposal and I didn't realize you were going to put the concrete curb next to the asphalt. I think the standard curb & gutter in would take care of all the concerns we are talking about. Garth stated if curb and gutter is what you need I will have to go back and redesign it. Steve Woerner asked if the town is going to pay for the curb and gutter in front of the Wood's home. Councilmember Lay stated he agrees with the curb and gutter. Councilmember Pace said it's in our ordinance, I think we need to keep it the same especially if we can pay for the Wood's curb and gutter. Councilmember Hardy stated he thinks it should have curb and gutter. Councilmember Pace made a motion to approve the preliminary plat with lots 1,2,7 & 8 restricted and to follow the current work standards with curb and gutter and not allow the special exception. Councilmember Lay seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in favor of the motion. Item#6 Planning Commission Member-The planning commission would like to have a joint meeting with the town council and the general plan committee on Tues April 16, 2024 at 7:00 to discuss the general plan. Item#7 Sheriff's Department Report- Officer was not present. WATER Steve Woerner had nothing to report. SEWER Steve Woerner reported that he met with Brad Rasmussen from Aqua Tech engineering regarding the sewer expansion for a discharge permit for the river, it's highly not likely we will get the permit. It will cost around 20 to 30 million to get the water clean enough to discharge. And another issue is we don't have an agreement to sprinkle on the neighbor's property, but the neighbor is more than willing to take our water. PARKS AND RECREATION Steve reported we have been working on the park, we are not sure what the grass will look like down there but we are going to put a gate in on the bottom of the park so people can sue the top part. We planted 10 new trees on Friday, we will keep working on it. ROADS Steve Woerner stated we have been working on Rocket road and applied for some funding through the county. We attended the Mayor meeting they approved the application we submitted for the project and we have to pay 75% of the project and they will pay 25% we got approved a for $87,000.0 grant. The Bridge replacement project we are working on will not be happing until 2025. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Councilmember Hardy nothing to report. OTHER Mayor Nelson stated that he had Gina pull the invoices for Jones and Associates, over 2.5 years we paid $242,000.00 but that includes the general pan, helping the planning commission and the impact fee study and the secondary water. With the money we get back we have spent $177,000 for 2 years, that's not bad. I feel better about it all in all. I'm glad I had Gina get the report he thanked her for getting it together. Councilmember Hardy made a motion to adjourn, Councilmember Lay seconded the motion, and the remaining council agreed. The meeting was adjourned at 8:40p.m. The undersigned duly acting and appointed clerk for Elwood Town Corporation hereby certifies that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Town Council meeting minutes held on the 12th day of March 2024. Dated this the 9th day of April 2024. ________________________________ Gina R Marble, Elwood Town Clerk
