assessors to add the value of common space into the assessed valuation of each of the homesteads and not place a separate value on open space that would result in separate payable tax statement to the homeowners association. If Council is not satisfied with this procedure, North Fork Homeowners Association has provided staff with a commitment to combine the open space outlot with the adjacent park. Public Works Director/Fire Chief Kapler has researched the necessary pavement diameter for larger emergency vehicles and has determined that 80 feet is preferred. The pavement diameter on the City's standard 60-foot radius cul-de-sac is 90 feet. Ms. Frolik stated that deviation from the street name grid pattem has occurred on several occasions in the North Fork P.U.D. Upon inquiry at those times, City staff was informed by 911 staff that deviation is not a significant problem as long as the plat address map calls attention to the deviation. Mr. Kapler noted that adhering to the grid pattern in this case and using 159th Lane is not deviating from Northfork's current system; they have used 164th Lane, 162nd Lane, 160th Lane, 159~h Court, 159th Circle, and 160t~ Court. Dennis Peck, Director of Development North Fork Inc. stated that he had reviewed the map of the City and put in 159th Lane as it appears through the City. It seemed to him that if you are looking at adequate fire protection that having a street name that stops and starts would be more confusing than one street named after one specific area. Mayor Gamec stated that Itasca Lake is a unique and separate area and he is in favor of the name change from 159th Lane to Itasca Point Road. Councilmember Zimmerman agreed with Public Works Director Kapler to adhere to the street grid system. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen to adhere to the City grid system and leave the street name 159th Avenue. Further discussion: Mr. Walker, future resident of Itasca Point, stated that he would prefer the road be named Itasca Point Road, stating he understands the safety concerns but noting that Itasca Lake is immediately identifiable. Mayor Gamec stated that street names have been changed in the past when residents were not happy with the name of a street. Motion failed. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Hendriksen and Zimmerman. Voting No: Mayor Gamec and Councilmember Anderson. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to grant preliminary plat approval to Northfork Itasca Point contingent upon compliance with City Staff City Council/June 8, 1999 Page 7 of 16
