likely be the appropriate design. The property south of 193rd includes <br />basically three property owners. Throughout the three properties there is a <br />variety of wetlands and some upland areas with possible development <br />potential. Generally speaking, the upland portions are evident on the <br />extreme west (by the city trail) and east (along Proctor) portions of the three <br />properties. Both of these highland areas would have access from either <br />Proctor or on the west from County Road I as the road enters into the <br />LaFayette Woods development. <br /> <br />At the Planning Commission meeting last month, the middle property owner <br />(Ms. Carton) expressed a concern that with the closure of 193rd access to her <br />would be cut off. There is clearly a large wetland complex in the middle of <br />the Carton property that could not be developed; however, there may be <br />isolated areas of upland that may be developed. The question remains, how <br />much of Ms. Carton's property is upland and possibly developable. Certainly <br />it is not the intent to cut off access to developable property, therefore, <br />additional information needs to be obtained to determine the reasonable <br />developability of the Carton property. It also should be noted that all three <br />parcels have frontage onto County Road 1. Ideally, limiting access to County <br />Road 1 could be the goal; however, this option will also need to be reviewed. <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />This issue is being brought before the City Council at this time to give staff <br />and the developer of the 38 acres some direction with the Council's vision for <br />the future of 193r~ Avenue. This is important at this time because it may <br />impact the design of the plat of the 38 acre parcel if the road is to remain in <br />place and would therefore need to be upgraded. Conversely, if 193r~ is to be <br />cul-de-saced as presented by the developer this would have some influence on <br />the plats design. <br /> <br />Terry Maurer is having Dave Nyberg from his office walk the property south <br />of 193r~ to gather a preliminary assessment regarding the developable <br />property that lies south of 193r~. The amount of developable property south <br />of 193rd is probably the first question that needs to be answered prior to <br />making a final decision on 193rd. Unfortunately, there may not be enough <br />information available at Monday night's meeting to provide the council to <br />allow a final decision on this matter. However, even without this <br />information, staff would offer the following for the council to consider: <br /> <br />ao <br /> <br />If the council would like to see 193ra remain in place and left <br />open to vehicle traffic from Proctor to County Road 1, the <br />appropriate design will be included into the proposed plat. <br />Eventually the upgrading of 193r~ (curb, gutter, bituminous, <br /> <br />XXelkriverksysXshrdockcouncilX193rd.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
