City Council Minutes August 21,2006 Page 6 Brady Kinghorn, Kinghorn Company-Stated the easement will create a problem for any future expansion of the church. He stated the back of the property is not visible to traffic and allowing the church to stripe the islands rather than having curb islands makes it easier to snowplow. He further stated landscaping doesn't live very well on the islands. Mr. Kinghorn stated he is willing to install the two islands at the front of the church. He further stated that when the church bought the property they didn't realized it would be cut in half with an easement. He questioned what would happen if the easement was given to the city but never utilized. . Councilmember Dietz stated the city needs to consider future development of this area and it is easier for them to get the easement now rather than having to pay more to get it later. He stated he would be willing to allow the applicant to sign a document stating the city can take the easement when they need it without additional expense to the city. Mayor Klinzing stated she can see how the easement would be a hardsh1p for the church because it creates a narrow property but the city also needs assurances they can build a connection from the east side of the church to the undeveloped property on the west side of the church. Mr. Maurer stated even if a street is not installed in the near future, the easement is needed for utilities. Councilrnember Farber stated if the easement is never used, the applicant can request an easement vacation. Joel N elson, Church Chairman-Questioned if the church would have to pay for the vacation.
