Chairperson Cook stated that the east side of the street is where the trail was decided to be added <br />in the past. It was the easiest side to complete the segment. If the trail is now going to go on the <br />west side, it will take some consideration. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds pointed out that as long as there is a sidewalk to the interior of this <br />development that connects with the existing trail, a connecting trail to T.H. 4/47 may not be <br />necessary. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook said that many times the developer is asked to put that in. He suggested the <br />trail on the north be required to be completed, and then an easement be required. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos agreed with that idea, but added that an obstacle is there is more <br />recording detail that would need to occur with that. The plat needs to be recorded and the <br />easement needs to be deeded to the City, which is an expense. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook said he would like to leave that option open and put this item on the next <br />agenda for consideration. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds inquired who would bear the expense for recording the deed. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos responded the developer would. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds asked if that would come out of the park dedication fee. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied he didn't think so. He said he didn't think the expense <br />was great. He added that the City Attorney would look at it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe stated it would come from trailway funds and not from park dedication <br />funds. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johns asked if there were trees. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos answered that there would not be. He suggested that the trail <br />could be required to be shifted away from Alpine Drive, giving room for boulevard trees to go in <br />there. He noted that this plan would need to be cognizant of the tall power lines. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook stated the Commission would ask for a trail easement along T.H. #47, <br />continuing the trail on 153rd to completion, and the remainder to be satisfied by cash dedication. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe pointed out the developer does have plans for providing recreation inside <br />the development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johns asked what park is closest. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/December 13, 2001 <br /> Page 5 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
