. . . City Council Minutes February 11, 1985 Page Four Councilmember Williams indicated that he felt the access from the Deerfield 2nd Addition to the Knollwood Addition would be a definite advantage for the City. Councilmember Williams further indicated that he did not feel it was the adjoining property owners' responsibility as he also did not feel it was the developer's responsibility in total. Councilmember Williams indicated that he felt the access was necessary, that the property should be purchased from Everett Specht, and the expenses should be shared between the City and the developer. The City Administrator indicated that it was suggested in his memo that the con- tinuous road be designated as an MSA route, therefore, MSA funds could be used for purchase and the construction of that access. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he was in agreement with Councilmember Williams, that is, that the City would receive a definite benefit by requiring the access. The City Administrator indicated that the City Council could, by. resolution, shift MSA road designations, therefore, designating the 197th Avenue as an MSA road. The City Administrator further indicated that the City Council could approve the preliminary plat with the requirement that the developer be required to make the connection from the Deerfield 2nd Addition plat to the Knollwood Addition, with the intent that 197thAvenue be designated as an MSA road. Mr. Sheldon Vie, the representative of Mr. Gerry Smith, indicated that he felt Mr. Smith would be interested in splitting the cost of that access. Discussion was carried on regarding the Soil Conservation Service's review of the plat. The City Administrator indicated that the information would be available to the engineer from the Soil Conservation Service office. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he was not necessarily convinced that the developer should not be wholly responsible for the 700 foot access from the Deerfield 2nd Addition to the Knollwood Addition.
