MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 10, 2000 Works pointed out that there is a 15-foot easement for this sewer line. However, he is asking that the easement be widened to 25 feet. Public Works noted that if work were ever needed on the sewer line, a 15-foot easement would not be wide enough. Public Works also requested that the developer be required to put in some sort of gravel access road so that he can get to the sewer line along the lake. Preferred Builders indicated that the people living adjacent to this access road would likely find it undesirable. The Public Works Director indicated that a gravel access road could be planted with some sort ofvegetation that would disguise it. Public Works indicated that the road is needed to support equipment should it be needed to do maintenance on the line. One of the property owners to the north of Mitchell Trail asked if there were plans to widen and improve Mitchell Trail. Kees pointed out that the plan being presented does not propose the improvement of Mitchell Trail. The City Planner pointed out that Mitchell Trail provides access for the Klidzejs property on the north along with an access easement that exists on the south side of the Klidzejs property. The Planner further noted an earlier subdivision of the Mitchell property at which time the Council required that Mitchell Trail be dedicated not only for access to the Klidzejs property, but also for access at the time the Mitchell property was further subdivided in the future. The Planner indicated that there has been some sentiment for requiring the construction of Mitchell Trail to provide improvement road access to the Klidzejs property as well as lots access for the Mitchell property via Mitchell Trail rather than Twin Lake Road. Carson pointed out that if Mitchell Trail is improved, the three lots proposed by Preferred Builders should have access via Mitchell Trail. Carson pointed out that the house on the proposed lake lot would leave a very long driveway. Preferred Builders indicated that some people like long driveways. He further indicated that it did not make sense to improve a road for these three lots, when they already abut an improved public street. Preferred Builders indicated that they would not want to pay for the street if it were put in.
