Mr. Peck suggested using the Parkland Trail. : Co~ssioner Deemer surmised that the Parkland Trail would not support the weight of a fire truck.~ Mr. Peck stated that a 40-50 foot easement would cost them about two lots, and he would resist this unless the City is willing to go on the record to commit to doing such a thing. commissioner Hendriksen referred to the preliminary grading plan and inquired about the location of the road. DiscUssion ensued around the map regarding the road entering into the wetland. Refe~ng to the extension of the trail system, Mr. Peck suggested using the high ground on the north side of the plat rendering an easier crossing of Trott Brook. Commissioner Holland inqu/red whether Mr. Peck was able to resolve Ms. Niederhaus's concerns mentioned at the public hearing. Mr. Peck stated that they will probably not be able to do what she requested, but they did discuss the outlay of the land and suggested possibly putting in trees on the trail corridor to act as a buffer. Mr. peck also stated that he talked with Mr. Delaney of Armstrong Kennels, and they will have a deed~estriction similar to the one the>, used in Northfork Oaks Addition and give written notice to any buyer certifying that they are aware of the activities occurring at Armstrong Kennels. He noted that Lot 20 creates a problem to have a 75 foot corridor, and he might be asking Mr. Delaney to restrict some of his area around Eddy Lake to accommodate this lot, or the lot might also work with ia setback variance.
