ZC 95-03. COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ SECONDED THE MOTION. <br />THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> <br />The City Council discussed Outlot A which is proposed to be deeded to the city <br />as open space in lieu of park dedication fees. Councilmember Holmgren <br />indicated that he would like to see an area made into a park for children. Steve <br />Ach indicated that Outlot A is heavily wooded, includes a wetland, and has a <br />large change in topography. He stated that the property would not be <br />conducive for a developed or active neighborhood park. Councilmember Dietz <br />indicated that he felt the trail system was a good idea as the city is trying to <br />incorporate this parcel into its overall trail system. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mayor Duitsman indicated his concern regarding the residents of this <br />development accessing and using the private facilities owned by the Ridgewood <br />development to the north. Discussion was held regarding the possibility of <br />requesting the developer to construct fencing between the two developments. <br /> <br />Council member Dietz indicated that he would be interested in splitting the park <br />dedication land and cash donation so the city can use the cash to start <br />developing some of the land it currently owns. <br /> <br />Mayor Duitsman suggested leaving 193rd Avenue unapproved at the present <br />time until the city knows what the overall transportation plan will provide. <br /> <br />Discussion was held regarding the sidewalks. Terry Maurer noted that if sidewalks <br />are provided along all of the streets in the development, they will have an <br />impact on the grading of the lots and a potential for additional tree loss. It was <br />the consensus of the Council to approve Exhibit C as the sidewalk design for the <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF <br />WINDSOR DEVELOPMENT TO SUBDIVIDE APPROXIMATELY 120 ACRES INTO SINGLE <br />FAMILY LOTS WITH THE INCLUSION OF CONDITIONS RELATING TO PARK DEDICATION <br />AND SECURITY ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE PROPERTY TO BE DETERMINED PRIOR <br />TO FINAL PLAT AND BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BE PREPARED OUTLINING THE TERMS AND <br />CONDITIONS FOR PLAT APPROVAL AND INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS. <br /> <br />e <br />
