Motion Carried 5-0. <br />8.GENERAL BUSINESS <br />8.1 Resolution 25-32: Final Plat of Meadowsweet Bend <br />The staff report was presented. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if the plows would damage the sidewalk. Mr. Portner stated the sidewalk would be <br />the same material as the road. <br />Councilmember Wagner asked if it allowed for parking. Mr. Carlton answered that they could sign that <br />side of the street as no parking to keep the sidewalk area clear, or they could park up to the pavement <br />marking, which would be on the sidewalk. <br />Councilmember Grupa asked why you would call it a sidewalk. Mr. Carlton answered, saying originally <br />it was proposed as a trail, but the Parks and Recreation Commission had concerns about putting it in as <br />a trail due to the number of driveways, so they went down to a 6-foot sidewalk instead. <br />Councilmember Wagner explained that sidewalks are important to her and that safety is getting people <br />off the roadway onto a sidewalk, but she does not think this scenario makes sense as a sidewalk, and <br />she cannot support this proposal as it currently is. <br />Mr. Carlton asked what if it went back to a 10-foot wide trail. <br />Carla Dunham, Twin Cities Land, explained that if it were to go back to a 10-foot trail that the <br />developer would install, then there would be park dedication credits that would have to be discussed <br />further. Ms. Dunham agreed a trail would make sense. They are open to whether it is a concrete <br />sidewalk or a 10-foot trail. She explained they view this as a rural section and wouldn't anticipate any <br />other traffic other than the residents in the community using the road. <br />Councilmember Wagner asked the developer if they had a concern for the homeowners to provide <br />snow removal if it were a sidewalk. Ms. Dunham stated that yes, it would be a valid concern due to the <br />length of some of the homeowner's property. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if it were a trail if there would be a separation of the street and the trail. Mr. <br />Carlton stated yes, whether it was a boulevard area or a ditch that they looked at options. <br />Mayor Dietz asked to postpone this until the next meeting. Mr. Carlton stated yes, if the proposed <br />drawing didn't have the support, then he would suggest going back to the developer and bringing it back <br />to the next meeting. <br />Page 11 of 309
