Ile stated he would like to work with the developer to create a conservation <br />easement by acquisition, donation, or whatever means. He noted the plan shows lots abutting a <br />wcthmd but to get habitat flow, a conversation easement in back of these lots would be needed. <br />That type o[' casement would not allow fences or sheds or structures and would maintain the <br />main corridors. He stated another suggestion would be whether a boxed culvert could be used <br />tbr the roadways rather than filling the wetland areas. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked Bob Hamborg if the trail easement is behind the properties to the east side. <br /> <br />A resident indicated the trail easement was taken off the covenants when they were rewritten. <br /> <br />(~ouncihncmbcr Pearson asked if the property contamination will not be addressed without this <br />proj cci moving forward. <br /> <br />Mayor (}amcc stated that is the case. He asked about the clay targets. <br /> <br />Mt'. Pctcrson stated that issue is also being addressed. <br /> <br />Councihncmber Jeffi'ey asked for direction on the concern for the street through Traprock. He <br />stated hc would like to see that access closed and a cul-de-sac created to provide separation. He <br />asked staff whcther that would be an issue. <br /> <br />Mayor (iamec noted the Fire Chief usually does not support that type of roadway configuration. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler commented that in a perfect world it is better to have the streets <br />connect. Itc noted there is a 600 foot cul-de-sac length restriction that was first established <br />because of getting water in but it is also a concern for emergency vehicle access. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook asked if closing Traprock would cause a problem with fire response. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler stated they would respond, dump water, go to the hydrant to fill, <br />and then come back in. <br /> <br />City Council / March 22, 2005 <br /> Page 21 of 38 <br /> <br /> <br />
