City Council Minutes Page 5 <br />July 19, 2004 <br /> <br /> develop their property. He stated he would like to keep Street C at its present location in the <br /> preliminary plat in case of future development to the west. <br /> <br />Mr. Griswold stated if the cul-de-sac has to be extended as a street, then he would like to be <br />able to add six lots to offset the cost of the street and utilities construction. He stated it <br />would also help to lower the costs on all proposed lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Griswold stated he would be happy to try and realign Tyler Street but that if the <br />property owners are not willing to sell property for the realignment, then he is concerned <br />about the timeframe of the eminent domain process affecting the completion of his plat. <br /> <br />Mayor IClinzing closed the public hearing for all items. <br /> <br />Mayor Kflinzing questioned the 10' buffer of Outlot A. She stated the county's letter <br />indicated the county would like the existing residents to access their properties from an <br />interior road and the county may close access to the county road for these properties in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Mr. Griswold stated he would like to keep the footage on the west side to accommodate <br />future development. He stated the original buffer to the existing residents would have been <br />the street. He also stated the buffer would help to blend the contours of the land; which <br />would otherwise be difficult as they cannot trespass onto the existing resident's property. <br />Mr. Griswold stated the buffer would also allow landscape screening from Street C to the <br />existing neighbors. <br /> <br />Mayor IClinzing stated the county's letter is requiring the Ertel property to have an internal <br />access into Trout Brook Estates. She questioned if the county could remove the Ertel's <br />driveway permit from County Road 13. She stated the access to the property on the <br />preliminary plat does not look good because of the way it comes to a point on Street A and <br />would like a condition added stating that adequate access is needed. <br /> <br />Ms. McPherson stated the county is trying to plan for long term redevelopment. She stated <br />Ryan Contracting has indicated they would give right-of-way access to the city for the Ertel <br />property. She stated if the county were to revoke the driveway permit to the Ertel's, then the <br />Ertel's would have to be compensated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kuester asked for a description of the parkland (Outlot K and I). <br /> <br />Ms. McPherson stated Outlot K has a couple of high points but is mostly a Type 7 or 8 <br />wetland. She stated Outlot I is for pedestrian connections to Outlot K. She stated <br />approximately 5.9 acres is available for useable park space (not including wetland and <br />detention ponds). <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin stated concerns regarding the size of the lots. He is concerned the <br />houses will be too large for the lots. He also questioned if it is possible to extend Becket <br />Trail over Ditch 1. He stated if the extension is not possible he would like a condition added <br />that the developer has to also remove the six additional lots. <br /> <br />Ms. McPherson stated the lots won't look small due to the public wetlands located behind <br />them. <br /> <br /> <br />
