He stated the easements cover a majority of his front yard. Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. Mayor Klinzing stated it is typical of the county to ask for a standard easement amount for every project without considering the location. She stated hopefully the county will reconsider Meadm.vvale as an urban road. Councilmember Farber stated the city shouldn't consider the 10' easement in addition to what the county is requesting. He stated the trail would fit into the county's easement. Councilmember Motin questioned what the harm would be for the city to keep the 10' trail easement. He stated if the county will allow a trail within their easement then the city won't need to use the 10'. He expressed concern with giving up the easement when the city doesn't know what will happen in the future. Mayor Klinzing stated Meadowvale Road should be built to an urban design standard and not rural standards. hIlr. Beck stated the city could add the word "trail" over the city's drainage easement. He stated the city could send a message to the county by not taking the 10' easement. He stated it wouldn't cost much in the future to acquire the additional easement if needed.
