Absent: <br />Counciln]cmber Olson. <br /> <br />Case #4: <br /> <br />Request for Sketch Plan Review of Sweet Bay Ridge; Case of Oakwood Land <br />I) evelopment <br /> <br />It was noted that the staff report for Case #4 was presented with Case #3. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig suggested the wetland areas be looked at, noting a corridor cuts through <br />the wetlm~d area. He stated he would like'to work with the developer to create a conservation <br />casement by acquisition, donation, or whatever means. He noted the plan shows lots abutting a <br />wetland but to get habitat flow, a conversation easement in back of these lots would be needed. <br />That type of easement 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 />f'or the roadways rather than filling the wetland areas. <br /> <br />Mayor {'}amec 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 />Councihnember Pearson asked if the property contamination will not be addressed without this <br />pro.jeer moving forward. <br /> <br />Mayor (1amec stated that,is the case. He asked about the clay targets. <br /> <br />Mr. [)etcrson stated that issue is also being addressed. <br /> <br />Councihnembcr Jeffrey asked for direction on the concern for the street through Traprock. He <br />stated he would like to see that access closed and a cul-de-sac created to provide separation. He <br />asked staf[" whether that would be an issue. <br /> <br />Mayor Garnet noted the Fire Chief usually does not support that type of roadway configuration. <br /> <br />l'ublic Works Director Kapler commented that in a perfect world it is better to have the streets <br />connect. He noted there is a 600 foot cul-de-sac length restriction that was first established <br />because o[' getting water in but it is also a concern for emergency vehicle access. <br /> <br />Councilmcrnber 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 />
