Cich. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #6: <br /> <br />Request For Final Plat Approval Of Evergreen Estates Addition; Case <br />Of Mr. Louis Wilhelmi: <br /> <br />Mr. Banwart stated that proposed addition consists of subdividing one 2.5 acre lot from a 44 acre <br />parcel. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended requiring cash, in accordance with the <br />terms of the proposed park dedication ordinance, to satisfy park dedication requirements. City <br />Staff is recommending that the proposed development agreement be amended to require <br />construction of a temporary cul-de-sac and paving the extension of 173rd to access the one lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Louis Wilhelmi indicated that the costs are becoming too expensive to develop one lot. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to table action on the <br />request for final plat approval of Evergreen Estates to allow Mr. Wilhelmi sufficient time to review <br />his options with City Staff. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson, Peterson and <br />Cich. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case FT: Request For Preliminary Plat Approval For Alicia Addition: <br /> <br />Mr. Banwart stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed plat of Alicia <br />Addition and recommended that the streets be fully developed to the property boundaries to <br />eliminate future confusion regarding the City's policy to develop through streets between <br />subdivisions. City Staff does not concur with the Planning and Zoning Commission's <br />recommendation. There are a number of other areas in the City that have provided easements for <br />the future extension of streets but were not required to fully develop those easements at the time of <br />intial development; the developer of the abutting development would be responsible for the cost of <br />completion of those streets to serve his development. <br /> <br />Council concurred that construction of streets to property boundaries eliminates confusion when <br />temporary cul-de-sacs are removed and streets are extended to abutting developments. <br /> <br />Dave Putnam - consulting engineer for Alicia Addition - Stated that the developer, Mr. Opsahl, <br />strongly feels that the easements for future extension of streets do not merit paving at this time. <br />Mr. Putnam suggested that a remedy might be to require Mr. Opsahl to provide a letter of credit <br />covering his portion of the cost to extend the streets at some time in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Opsahl stated that he opposes developing streets to serve abutting property that might not <br />develop for a very long time, especially with the City proposing to go with 4 in 40 zoning. Mr. <br />Opsahl also noted that providing easements for future extension of streets meets the provisions of <br />the City's ordinance. Mr. Opsahl indicated that road easements would be shown on the plat and on <br />the certificates of survey to eliminate confusion regarding the intention to extend streets at some <br />point in the future. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to approve the <br />preliminary plat for Alicia Addition contingent upon either the roads being fully developed to the <br />property boundaries or the developer providing a letter of credit for the paving of road extensions <br />in the future. <br /> <br />City Council/July 25, 1989 <br />Page 10 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
