The applicant shall install a 10'wide bituminous trail,centered in a 20'trial easement,as shown in the exhibit titled"Recommended Trails". The City Engineer has requested the trails be incorporated into the grading plan. Justin Moody,the applicant, spoke during the August 9,2017,Parks and Recreation meeting. He questioned the need for a trail as it does not make sense to him. He wanted to know what the trail is connecting to and stated no one uses County Road 33 to walk on. He also indicated he does not want to pay the extra money for a trail and a trail will reduce the values of the lots they are located in. Parks and Recreation Chairman,Dave Anderson,stated the city recently adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and as part of that process,a city wide survey was completed and the number one desire of the community was trails. He further stated that the trail is a vital asset as it is a critical link in a north/south pedestrian corridor on the east side of Highway 169,as shown in the master plan.
