Ms. Norris noted that even with the minor subdivision process, only the eastern lot will have road frontage; the west parcel would have to have road access across the eastern parcel. Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg to grant Mr. Jake Barthold a subdivision through the minor subdivision process contingent upon providing a 66' road easement the full length of the property, with the road being built up to City standards within a period of 3 years and that a temporary cul-de-sac be provided to access the western parcel. Purther Discussion: Mr. Barthold stated that the future road as proposed in the easement would ruin a tree line; does have an alternate mini plat that would align the road 33' further north and save the trees and require less of an easement to serve the western parcel. Councilmember Cox withdrew his motion and Councilmember Sorteberg withdrew his second to the motion. Motion by Councilmember COx and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to approve Mr. Jake Barthold's request for a minor subdivision of a five acre parcel located on the west side of State Highway #47 with a 66' road easement being shifted 33' north of that originally proposed on January 27, 1987 and extending the full 1100 feet to provide access to the property to the west and to avoid damaging a natural tree line. Further, that the cul-de-sac to access the western parcel be contained entirely on that parcel and that the required access be built to city standards within a 3 year period. Further Discussion: Councilmember COx stated that the 3 year time period would be from the date of final plat approval. Mr. Goodrich inquired if an escrow will be required for the street improvement. Mr. Raatikka stated that the city usually requires an escrow amount equal to 125% of the estimated cost of improvement. Mr. Barthold requested that the subdivision be by a metes and bounds process; that when he plats the remainder of his property, he will include these two parcels. Motion carried.
