Counciimember Olson stressed her preference for detached townhomes, rather than single-family homes. Councilmember Elvig commented he a~ees the detached townhomes offer more flexibility. Associations can set up covenants the City :cannot work with, such as restrictions on fences. These covenants could work well' with a greens~ace corridor. Associate Planner Wald requested the reSidentsin the area contact her with any questions. Case #10: Request for Final plat APProval of Alpine Woods 2"a Addition; Case of Oakwood Land Development Assistant Community Development Director/EDA Executive Director Frolik indicated Oakwood Land Development has applied for final Plat approval to re-plat five single-family lots of Alpine Woods into seven single-familY lots as :a part of Alpine WoOds 2nd Addition. The subject property is generally located on SunfiSh Lake Boulevard and 153rd Lane NW. She explained a home that was originally slated to remain after :the development of Alpine Woods will now be removed, thus allowing for the Creation of tWo additional lots. A revised Tree Plan has been prepared for this portion of the Alpine Woods plat; a revised plan will be required to include a few additional trees on the site. Revised' grading and utility plans have been submitted for this portion of Alpine Woods, and are acceptable., She advised there is one outstanding item in that the trail along Sunfish Lake BoUlevard was not addressed on the original plan, and this will be req ui red. Assistant Public Works Director Olson indicated staff is requesting a trail along Sunfish Lake Boulevard extending to Alpine ~ Drive. Anything outside of the plat would be at the City's expense at approximately $12: per lineal foot. This is not included in the development agreement, but staff has talked to the develOper and it will be added. Greg Peterson, representative Of Oakw°od Land Development, stated it is Oakwood Land Development's policy to fix any miStakes that have been made. They are in agreement with including the trail. Mayor Gamec asked how the trail would be affected if Sunfish Lake Boulevard is widened. Assistant Public Works Director Olson replied it' CR 5 is widened and it affects the trail, the trail reconstruction would be the responsibility of the City. He explained there have been instances where there has been a widening of 120 feet and the trail did not have to be reconstructed. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt Resolution #05- 02-062 to approve the final plat of Alpine Woods 2nd Addition contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated February 17, 2005 and the Developer entering into a Development Agreement with the City.
