City Council Minutes Page 12 May 16, 2016 ----------------------------- Mr. Carlton clarified that with council’s direction barrier curbing will not be requirement for the proposed single family homes, but the PUD document will apply to future additions. He asked if the council was interested in applying the barrier curb to the future detached townhome areas when they are constructed. Councilmember Westgaard requested a future work session topic discussion. Condition Ten – Boulevard Trees After a brief discussion, it was the consensus of the council to agree with the condition of 2 boulevard trees per 75’ lot and 2 boulevard trees per 65’ lot with the addition of 1 tree per lot, in the front yard, which may be shade, ornamental, or a deciduous variety. Condition Thirteen – Trail Construction and Maintenance Council discussed the requirement of construction of bituminous trails to include maintenance as part of the HOA. Mr. Carlton provided examples of developments in which trails were installed by the developer but maintained by the city, or installed by the developer and maintained by the HOA. Councilmember Westgaard felt it would create confusion on which trails the city would maintain and which trails an HOA would maintain. He felt the city should also maintain the trails in this development since it maintains other trails in the area. Councilmember Wagner stated it seemed like trails in this development would be used by its residents and not the general public and therefore felt the HOA should be required to maintain, and she was not in favor of using park funds. Councilmember Olsen felt the HOA should pay for trail maintenance. Councilmember Burandt stated the city should maintain these trails. Mayor Dietz stated the HOA should maintain the trails. It was the consensus of the council that the HOA maintain the trail. Plat Conditions Condition Four – Sunset Ridge Connection Councilmember Wagner explained the telephone call she received from a resident living in Sunset Ridge who wished to reiterate his concerns about the high density aspect of this development, specifically with the road connection results in increasing traffic in an already busy area, as well as the overall addition of traffic beyond the neighborhood. She stated she didn’t want to make a decision about connecting this road until a meeting occurs with the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners to discuss and agree with an overall plan of the future of this area.
