MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 23, 2000 Road was an informal access. However, the property owner indicated that they do have an easement for their driveway. Alex Klidzejs, 3244 Twin Lake Road, pointed out that Mitchell Trail is not improved. However, there is a blacktopped driveway over the right- of-way for access to 3244 Twin Lake Road. Klidzejs reported that the utility easement to the lake is quite steep, and suggested that during wet conditions it would be difficult to get a truck over that easement to access the sewer line. He felt that access to the sewer line would be weather dependent in this area. Klidzejs pointed out the new house being constructed on 3240 Twin Lake Road and indicated that the additional easement the Public Works Director is requesting would be quite close to the new house. Fahey noted that the City cannot be weather dependent on gaining access to a sanitary sewer line. That is the reason the Public Works Director is recommending a gravel road be installed to access the sewer line. Klidzejs suggested that driving a big truck on the access road would rip up the road if conditions were not right. Fahey noted that the City would be responsible for the repair and maintenance of the access. Scalze suggested that the Klidzejs property should not have been allowed to development without the improvement of Mitchell Trail. Morelan agreed, but pointed out that the property has been developed, and it would not be feasible to improve Mitchell Trail to serve one home. Fahey suggested that development of the lots at 3240 Twin Lake Road should be subject to a restrictive covenant that these lots cannot use Mitchell Trail for access. It was suggested, however, that the right-of--way for Mitchell Trail be retained. It was noted that since the Planning Commission has tabled action on this matter until their March meeting, that the Council can take no action pending a recommendation from them. Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RF.SOI. UTION NO. 2000-2-40 - TA737.ING ACTION ON THE APPLICATION FOR PROPERTY DIVISION OF 3240 TWIN LAKE ROAD PENDING A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (4) Morelan, Scalze, Fahey, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
