Agreement has been amended accordingly and specifies that construction shall be managed in a way that there shall be no interruption of Fire Department access to either Nowthen Boulevard or AlPine Drive. MY. Tmdgeon reviewed that on February 28; 2006; the Council also discussed' the need for a pedestrian path connection between the southerly terminus of Helium Street in Meadow and the crosswalk at 150th Lane to the south. This matter will be forwarded to the Public Works Committee for review. The County has also recommended that the access for the dental clinic on Nowthen Boulevard be eliminated and replaced on a street interior to the plat. StafFs response is that the access onto Nowthen Boulevard is existing and will be retained. Per the recommendation of the County and the request of the owner of the commercial parcels, the site plan has been modified to include an accessory driveway from the commercial property to Krypton Terrace. Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated revised grading, drainage, street construction and utility plans have been received and reviewed. The review comments are contained in a memo from Engineer Linton dated April 20, 2006. Mr. Trudgeon advised staff is recommending that City Council rescind Resolution #06-02-064 granting final plat approval of Meadow on February 28, 2006, and approve the revised final plat and final site plan in accordance with the City Staff Review Letter dated April 19, 2006 and the Engineering Memo dated April 20, 2006. Councilmember Jeffrey requested further information regarding the path for fire access. Fire Chief Kapler explained the access will be a non-curbed road wide enough to permit fire vehicles without having to pull off the side of the road. Staff has had detailed discussions about the access. Councilmember Elvig inquired about the sidewalk that has been discussed on Helium Street, as it is not included in the plans. Community Development Dkector Trudgeon replied the sidewalk has not been included in the plan and staff has stated it must be included on both sides of the street. The developer had indicated they were not certain whether they wanted to include the second sidewalk. Staff informed the developer the Council has instructed that the sidewalk be included, and it must be included in the plan. Councilmember Elvig inquired if the City will be installing the sidewalk on the west, and the developer installing the sidewalk on the east. Community Development Director Trudgeon replied he believes it was all the responsibility of the developer. The Staff Review Letter includes the requirement that the developer construct the sidewalks. Mayor Gamec questioned whether the large fire vehicles will have room to maneuver with the access. Fire Chief Kapler replied the access will be designed for large vehicles and easy access. City Council / April 25, 2006 Page 15 of 23 -59-
