<br />lots with sewer and water. The Asmussens had suggested there was a document that they would <br />be buildable lots when sewer and water came. Staff has done research at the County and in the <br />City's files and has not found anything that would indicate there is anything but a permanent <br />drainage and utility easement. That being said, the Asmussens were only assessed for one lot, <br />rather than three lots because those two lots would not be buildable in the future. That is one <br />reason that Option 1 went up slightly. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig noted that in this area there is a 38-foot new road going into an older, <br />much tighter road. There may be drainage issues involved, and this is an area right outside the <br />school that is constantly servicing parked vehicles going to the school with kids walking. It is a <br />highly accessed area before and after school and events. Something that came up at the Public <br />Works meeting is that he believes the City has a problem they need to fix. That is why the <br />Committee has asked for a few options if the City wants to participate with this. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec clarified with Public Works Director Olson that the normal street width is 32 feet. <br />He asked why the width in this location is 38 feet. <br /> <br />Public \Vorks Director Olson explained there has been a lot of discussion about reserving land at <br />the old city hall property for a future school, and the idea was to have a very walkable and <br />parkable roadway. GM Homes proposed the 38-foot wide roadway and the City accepted it <br />based on those conditions. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec verified that the street to the east would be at a 32-foot width. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig suggested the Police Chief may want to weigh in on this. He noted one <br />other consideration is if a school is going to be built to the north those properties could <br />potentially be bought out to accommodate a secondary school along Area No.2. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson indicated that is a consideration, but it has not been discussed at <br />great length. There have been mstances where the school has said more than 33 acres would be <br />needed, and the timing is not known on this. . <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig pointed out another thought is the question of putting sewer and water in <br />if the properties may go away to the school at some point. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson stated if the direction of the Public Works Committee is ratified <br />staff will sit down with the neighborhood to dis9USS the options. If the residents do not like any <br />of the three options they Vlrill be back to the drawing board. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey asked if a date has been set for the meeting and if Council will be <br />notified. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson replied a date has not been set yet. Pending this outcome the date <br />would be set. Council will be notified in the Weekly Update. <br /> <br />City Council / August 14,2007 <br />Page 29 of 32 <br /> <br />P45 <br />
