Mr. Dale further explained that 25 percent or less of the entire land in the plat would be touched by any construction equipment for the building of the roads or actual house site. With the changes that were made in the plat in the northwest corner for the existing platted streets that were on the boundary of the plat, the request now is to vacate streets that are entirely within the property boundary of the developer. • Mr. Steve Johnson asked how many lots were below 15,000 square feet in the original plat and Mr. Dale answered that there were 20. Dorothy Odlund asked about the need for city parks in the area. Mr. Dale stated that the Park and Rec. Committee had not made their final recommendation but that it was his understanding that they were. going to recommend cash only from the developer because of the terrain and lack of a suitable area within the plat to construct active recreation uses.

LeRoy Nyhus presented a slide presentation showing alternatives he had inves- tigated in a report made for the Planning Commission.

The engineer answered that under-one of his alternatives it would be but under another alternative his property would not have to be involved in a sewer and water project in order for this plat to receive utility service. The discussion centered on the utility system for the :entire area and the cost for serving the plat as well as the entire Orchard Lake system. The engineer stated that he did not have a break-down of each component of the alternatives he had presented in his report but could have it available for the next Planning Commission meeting.. 79.139 Motion was. made by Geisness, seconded by Enright to continue the preliminary plat public hearing to October 18, 1979 on Lake Villa Golf Estates.
