Fahey asked if staff envisioned that the Development Agreement would require the .Inman's to dedicate their share of the Leeward Way right-of- way at the time that the Lancette's were ready to develop.

Fahey noted that the Council has typically proceeded with development when a minimum of 50% of the property owners involved were in favor of developing. Fahey stated that he did not want to see the situation where the Inman's could hold future development hostage, and indicated that the Development Agreement should be worded to prevent that situation. The City Administrator indicated that he envisioned that the Development Agreement would address the need for coordinated and cooperative development of the area. Continued piecemeal development will result iu problems with installation of utilities, ponding, etc. Fahey indicated that he wanted to preserve the City's right to improve Leeward Way in a coordinated fashion and assess the benefiting property owners.

The City 'Planner felt that either Option 2 or 3 outlined in the Planner's June I9'~' report preserve the City's right in that regard. The City Administrator noted that the initial recommendation only asked for the Inman's to dedicate Leeward Way right-of--way adjacent to the two proposed lots and not all the way to the south end of the entire length of proposed Leeward Way. Fahey stated that if the Inman Addition is approved, the City would assume that Inman has no objection to the future dedication of Leeward Way adjacent to the two proposed lots. Fahey stated that it should be clear to the Inman's that if the plat is approved, it will be a Council decision as to whether:Leewat~d Way will be extended when the Lancette's are ready to develop. Debbie Lancette asked if Inman had to agreed to the right-of--way for the full length of Leeward Way, or only the portion that abuts the two lots he is proposing. Fahey felt that the Development Agreement with Inman should provide for the dedication of Inman's portion of the Leeward Way right-of--way at the time there is a comprehensive development proposed
