Hillside Estates 5th Final Plat Page 2 November 20, 1995 ----------------------------------------------- • Hillside Estates 4th Addition. The developer is now requesting to plat an additional 28 lots as Hillside Estates 5th Addition. The final plat for Hillside Estates 5th Addition will include the construction of streets, completing the connection between 197th Avenue and 193rd. This connection will eliminate the long dead ends that previously occurred in developing the earlier phases of Hillside Estates. The final plat for Hillside Estates 5th Addition has been prepared in accordance with the preliminary plat approval given by the City Council last August and staff comments. NSP Power Easement The vacant land between Hillside 4th and 5th is currently owned by the developer and is encumbered with a 240 foot NSP power line easement. One of the conditions of the preliminary plat approval was to have this land included with a future final plat and that land consisting of the NSP power easement be deeded to the City. There has been some discussion in the past that this NSP power easement could be used as a recreational corridor since it cannot be developed due to the overhead power lines. The developer has indicated that the NSP easement will be included with a future plat lying southeast of the water tower. Parkland/Trail • When Hillside Estates PUD was originally presented to the City Council in 1992, the trail corridor concept included establishing a north -south and east - west trail somewhere within the PUD. As Hillside Estates has developed over the years, a north -south trail has been discussed in previous plats and most recently adjusted to the east edge of the development along the Northern Natural Gas easement extending from 197th to 193rd. The Park and Rec Commission had recommended that a 33 foot trail corridor lying east of the 50 foot Northern Natural Gas easement be utilized as the trail corridor. This is not reflected on the final plat because the developer has expressed some interest in retaining the easterly 18 feet ( Outlot B and Outlot A) of the final plat for possible future development considerations. However, Park A and Park B as identified on the final plat represents a 50 foot corridor of which approximately 15 feet lies outside of the Northern Natural Gas easement. In talking with Northern Natural Gas, it sounds as though there will not be a problem with constructing a trail; however, the City will have to present plans to Northern Natural Gas for their review and consideration. Attached is a map of the surrounding area illustrating existing and proposed • pedestrian routes along with destination points. The trail corridor along the east side of the proposed final plat will connect 197th Avenue to the proposed s:counci1:p94 -6
