. . . Planning Commission June 22, 2004 Page 4 Chair Ropp stated that he supported the City's option to apply eminent domain to insure the realignment of the Tyler Street intersection and asked how long the process would take. City Engineer T eny Maurer stated that realistically, it would take approximately six months. He explained that a temporaty access could be granted so that development could be started. He stated that it was well worth the time to go through the process. Ms. McPherson stated that a similar condition was utilized for the Windsor Oak Hill subdivision, in which the developer was working with an adjacent property owner to acquire right-of-way and the development was allowed to move ahead in phases. Commissioner Lemke stated that he was in favor of extending 188th Lane. Commissioner Pederson asked how much park land would be given away by allowing the additional lots. Ms. McPherson explained that the staff recommendation to extend 188th Lane did not include providing additional lots along the street. She stated that park would have good street access and that the extension would act as a parkway. She stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission was not in favor of a road through the park, but that there are significant transportation issues and this road connection would provide an opportunity for a solution, not only for road connections but pedestrian connections, as well, between the new subdivisions in this part of the City. Commissioner Pederson asked what type of "parkway" staff was referring to. Ms. McPherson stated that staff was not suggesting a four-lane divided street, but rather, a widened street with more landscaping. City Engineer T eny Maurer stated that he sees the extension as a way to address health, life, and safety issues, and that the street would be similar to what is in Trott Brook Fanns and Lafayette Woods.
