Planning Commission Minutes Page 9 July 26, 2005 --------------------------- Commissioner Lemke asked where the additional right-of-way would come from that is being requested by the County. Mr. Maurer stated that it would have to come from properties outside of the Kingdom Estates plat. Commissioner Stevens asked if an easement could be provided to the Scheel property (Olson Circle). He stated he would have a difficult time approving the plat if it were to be a permanent cul-de-sac. Chair Anderson asked for clarification on the issue of a road connection in the northern portion of the plat. City Engineer Terry Maurer stated that the slope from this plat to the Scheel property goes down 20 – 25 feet. He stated that it has been the City’s policy to require road right-of-way to be built to the plat boundary, and in this case it is not known if the road could even be connected anywhere in the property to the north. Commissioner Lemke suggested that a Condition #9 be added to require a sign be placed at the 214 Street cul-de-sac, so that future residents would be made aware the road is th proposed to become a through-street. Mr. Maurer stated this issue has been discussed in the past, but has not become a City policy. He stated that at a minimum, a Type 3 barrier will be required so that someone does not drive off the end of the street. Commissioner Lemke questioned the legality of requiring a developer to buy right-of-way for County road improvements, when the plat does not abut a County road. Mr. Maurer stated that the issue has been raised and the County is researching whether or not there is any documentation that this was required for Kingdom Estates First Addition. Discussion followed regarding the condition to require that the County’s comments be addressed. Mr. Maurer stated that depending on the outcome of the research being requested from County staff, the City Council could chose to strike the condition.
