<br />There was discussion about putting a trail in between the two streets. <br /> <br />Chair Elvig stated that Alpine Park is probably going to be our most used park as the RTC builds <br />out and thinks having sidewalks around makes sense to him. <br /> <br />Mr. Schatz stated that he doesn't feel the only issue is about people who are going to the skate <br />park, but also to other end of the park where there is a playground. <br /> <br />Chair Elvig suggested having a crosswalk in the middle, between the two cul-de-sacs, but he has <br />questions about the ditch area. <br /> <br />City Engineer Himmer stated that the problem is that the parking lot is 8 feet below, so a <br />staircase would need to be put in, which would not be ADA accessible. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Jankowski stated that he has not looked at this option, so would need to <br />do more research if this is the location the Council would like. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Ramsey, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to postpone Consideration of <br />a Cross Walk across Alpine Drive at Alpine Park, to allow time for staff to research the <br />following: the option of a location in the middle; the possibility of a sidewalk on the north side; <br />ask for a speed study to be conducted in the area; a connection between 153rd Way and 153rd <br />Court and a trail connection between these two areas and Sunfish Lake Boulevard. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Elvig, Mayor Ramsey and Councilmember McGlone. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Dehen. <br /> <br />Case #5 <br /> <br />Consider Acquisition of Lot 1, Block 1, Pineview Estates 2nd Addition <br /> <br />City Engineer Himmer reviewed the staff report. He noted the property owner is present if there <br />are questions. <br /> <br />Chair Elvig noted that this is a ghost platted as a future MSA connection. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey asked how many other properties the City would need to acquire to be able to <br />make the connection to Alpine Drive. <br /> <br />Chair Elvig stated that there would be about ten properties that would need to be at least partially <br />taken to make that full connection. <br /> <br />City Engineer Himmer noted that the property owner threw out a number of $150,000 to <br />$200,000 for the City to acquire this land. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Ramsey, seconded by Chairperson Elvig, to refer Consideration of Acquisition <br />of Lot 1, Block 1, Pineview Estates 2nd Addition to the Finance Committee. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / July 21, 2009 <br />Page 4 of7 <br />
