Serenity Ln SW-Trees: There are evergreen trees in the road right away on the West end of Serenity Ln SW that need to be removed before winter. LMT will send a certified courtesy letter informing Forst’s, developers that the trees need to be removed by October 1st, 2019. If not LMT will remove and dispose of them. Jeff Stabnow brought up the topic of holding ponds, as he was not able to make the last meeting. Jeff Stabnow recommended LTM check into using a subordinate service district approach for the holding ponds.
Gravel: The gravel roads that were to receive new gravel that did not get Chloride are still not graveled. A discussion was had. In order to make sure roads are graveled in a timely matter, the LMT Board may request a completion when asking for gravel quotes in the future.
OLD BUSINESS:
Culvert resolution: Tabled until winter, after paving project is complete.
NEW BUSINESS:
Roth Development: Mark Hagstrom from Hagstrom Engineering and Roberta Roth, developer/landowner, both representing the Roth Development, were present. The Roth’s, want to separate a 5.7-acre piece of land from the existing parcel. Per Douglas County, the road right away would need to be extended in order to do this. This division would make the road now part of a development. According to LMT’s ordinance, in order for LMT to take over the newly extended road, it would need to meet LMT standards and the road would need to be blacktopped. If the developers do not want to blacktop, the only other option is to build the road to Douglas County standards, it would then be considered a private road and landowners would be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep. A discussion was had. The developers were told that it may be in their best interest that if they don’t blacktop the road, to at least meet width and gravel depth standards of LMT, so if they decide to blacktop in the future they would have width and depth specifications met.
