Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that he did not see any <br /> negative aspects, noting that the easement would be counted towards the required greenspace for , <br /> the site. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the trail easement would not have any <br /> impact on building code.

He noted <br /> that the City currently owns the parcel and believed that this makes sense. <br /> Member LeTourneau asked if there is an expectation for the trail to continue south. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that the trail is in place south <br /> of 142nd on both sides of 47, which connects to the other trails in the area along Bunker Lake <br /> Boulevard and Puma Street. He stated that this will be an important connection not only for the <br /> City system but also the overall regional system. <br /> Acting Chairperson Burandt stated that his family often bikes in this area and agreed that this <br /> segment of trail is definitely needed for safety and connection. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that when the site is <br /> developed, they would also request a sidewalk along 142nd, which would be separate from this <br /> action. <br /> Motion by Member Hardin, seconded by Member Lambrecht, to authorize staff to proceed with <br /> recording a 20-foot trail easement over the City owned property at 5195 142nd Avenue NW. <br /> Motion carried.
