Planning Commission Minutes March 23, 1999 Page 12 . Steve Wensman explained the Park and Recreation Commission's proposal to acquire a parcel of park land that may possibly be combined in the long term with a parcel of the MacGibbon property to the south to create a city park. Commissioner Thompson questioned why an access is not being proposed to 189th with this plat. Scott explained that that currently 1 89th Avenue is a substandard road way and is currently in a "driveway" state. Terry Maurer explained that Island View Drive is capable of carrying the additional vehicle trips which 7 new homes would create. He indicated that the city has an obligation to provide for an additional future access to Island View Drive when the opportunity arises, from a safety standpoint or they would not be doing their job. Terry Maurer explained that there are several options for a northerly connection, including going up to County Road 35 or through the Lockwood property into Belgin Acres. Chair Cote questioned what type of park is proposed. Steve Wensman stated that a passive park is envisioned for the property. Commissioner Kuester indicated she understood the residents' concerns but felt there was a safety issue that must be considered. Commissioner Thompson questioned if the 10 foot wide path could be used for emergency vehicles. Terry Maurer stated that it would be wide enough. . Commissioner Mesich asked if there were special soils to consider for septic systems. Terry Maurer indicated that conventional systems would most likely work on the property. He noted that the developer is required to show two possible locations for a septic system, but there may be more locations available. Chair Cote indicated he felt it was important that the trail be installed at the same time the streets are constructed so that future buyers know the trail is there.
