Home

Given that background, Stafffeels it is now time to discuss how to resolve the situation. The City has stopped Mr. Bauer from doing any additional work on the property until the next steps are determined. Specifically, the City Council needs to consider several items: 1) Access: The City Council should discuss the need of having public access of 160°~ Lane continued beyond the built road to Mr. Bauer's property. Is it desirable to have it as public right of way for future connections to the west? Are the property owners willing to have the City purchase it? Initial commun/cation fi:om the property owners indicate that they are not 2) Trees taken down: If it is decided that the City will not pursue the purchase of the fight-of- way, how does the City rectify the removal of trees on the Dusbabek's and Kaas's property? 3) Alternative access: I_fit is determined that access does not come fi:om 160th Lane, another access could be created from the intersection of 161~t Lane and Olivine St.. This access would need to cross a ridge and require the removal of additional trees. Mr. Bauer and the Dusbabeks and Kaas's will be present for the work session and would like to share their thoughts with the Council on this matter Attachments: a) c) d) e) Site Location Map Trappers Ridge Plat Deed showing dedication of easement Correspondence from Mr. Steve Dusbabek Correspondence from Mr. Greg Bauer Action Statement: Staff is requesting that the City Council review the situation andprovide Staff with direction on the need for access from 160a~ Lane, finding acceptable remuneration to the affectedproperty owners regarding the trees removed from their property, and alternative accesses to Mr. Batter's property.
