Public Works Director Olson replied there are alternate ways, but they are more expensive. Counci Imelnber Strommen questioned if staff is aware of any other situations with developments with the majority of the infrastructure in. Public Works Director Kapler replied the other development that is practically intact is Town Center Gardens. The newest phase of Town Centex' Gardens will be totally required to conform to the 1306 amendment. Counci hnember Kurak inquired about item #19 in the development agreement. Comlnunity Development Director Frolik replied that condition addresses an amendment to the original development agreement with respect to the construction of the trail and the credit to be reserved back. Staff reserves the right to verify that credit with the Engineering Department. Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained there was originally in the development agreement about 2,300 lineal feet where the City was going to pay outside the limits of the plat. When the design was done they found there was more than originally anticipated outside the plat and eligible for credit against the trail easement the developer would have to pay. The City agreed to pay an additional $5,000 for that additional trail work. He does not see that was taken into consideration, and the amount reflected could be $5,000 less. Counciln~ember Elvig inquired about the ordinance that was previously revised increasing the arterial road setback. He noted they changed the ordinance for the area of Town Center to be sure the buildings are pulled to the front, however, they had looked at other corridors to allow more room for buffer and vegetation. Community Development Director Frolik indicated this topic will be placed on a worksession agenda. Mayor Gamec stated there is also a need to look at the maintenance of some of these areas. He conqmented crews have been weeding on the east side of Highway 47, but the west side looks like a weed patch.
