B:mwart stated that the Planning and Zonin,g Comn'fission reviewed the proposed plat of Aiicia Addition and recommended that thc streets be fully developed to the property boundaries to e:]m]nate future confusion recardint the City's policy to develon throu~,h streets be,v,,~n subdivisions. City Staff does not concur with the Planning and Zoning Commission's re. zommendation. :There are a number of other areas in the City tha~ have provided easements for the future, extension of streets but were not resuired to fully develop those e,~s~m,m,s ar the time of mare cl~,, ~,lo~m~m. the developer of the abutting development would be responsible for the cost of completion of those streets to sen'e his development. Council concurred that construction of streets to property boundaries eliminates confusion when temporary cul-de-sacs are removed and streets are extended to abutting developments. Dave Putnam - consulting engineer for Alicia Addition - Stated that the developer, Mr. Opsahl, strongly feels that the easements for future extension of streets do not merit paving at this time. Mr. Putnam suggested that a remedy might be to require Mr. Opsahl to provide a letter of credit coveting his portion of the cost to extend the streets at some time in the future. Mr. Opsahl stated that he opposes developing streets to serve abutting property that might not develop fo." a veu~ long time, especially with the City proposing to go with 4 in 40 zoning. Mn-. Opsahl also noted that providing easements for future extension of streets meets the provisions of the City's ord/nance. Mr. Opsahl indicated that road easements would be shown on the plat and on the certificates of su~'ey to eliminate confusion regarding the intention to extend streets at some point in the future. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded bv Councilmember DeLuca to approve the preliminary plat for Alicia Addition contingent upon e[ther the roads being full}, developed to the property boundaries or the developer providing a letter of credit for the paving of road extensions in the future.
