Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to approve an extension of the original agreement with The Tinklenberg Group through November 7, 2014, at a total cost of $6,700, in accordance with the proposal dated September 2014. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Kuzma, Johns, LeTourneau, Riley, and Tossey. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Backous. 7.03: Consider Resolutions #14 -09 -197 and #14 -09 -198 Relating to an Amended Final Plat and Development Agreement for Pine Ridge; Case of Gerald and Jane Davis City Planner Anderson reviewed the staff report and used a map to note the alignment of the Pine Ridge Trail segment. He stated the City's estimated cost to construct that trail segment is $22,675 and the developer has indicated he can construct that trail at a lower cost so the Developer's Agreement includes the option for the developer to construct the trail or to make a donation to the Trail Fund to cover that cost with the understanding the City would construct that trail, when appropriate. City Planner Anderson reported the applicant has offered to either construct the trail or donate $15,000 for the trail construction. Because staff has not been able to verify a lower cost estimate, it is recommended to collect the estimated construction costs of $22,675 in lieu of actual trail construction as part of this Plan. Councilmember Johns stated the developer has indicated a preference to construct the trail and she would support that request. Councilmember Riley stated support for staff's recommendation as constructing it at this time would result in a trail segment that is not connected into the City's trail system. Gerald Davis, applicant, stated he was unable to get costs for tonight's meeting because the contractors are busy. He stated North Valley Paving provided a figure of $11,000 for the paving and they are working with Greenway Excavating but he was not able to get a hard number. Mr. Davis stated it was estimated that the grading and Class V would come in at $4,000. He stated he has interested parties for purchasing the six lots and some of the buyers are familiar with this type of construction and own the equipment needed to do it. Mr. Davis stated they are happy to contribute to the Trail Fund but not at a rate of $22,675. He stated the lot buyers would have to pay for it. In addition, the buyers want to have a trail in existence that their family can use. Mr. Davis supported a future discussion about developers being required to pay for a trail if the property abuts the trail, noting other lots pay a trail /park fee but not at this high rate.
