MIPIUTES City Council April 13, 1988 Metaltr•onics The Council and Lar•r•y Lee discussed the possible r~oad access for• the Tr~affic pr•oper•ty to the south, with Lee feeling that access thr~ough the Pr•oblem industr•ial ar~ea was poor~ planning and would make the sale of the (Cont.) pr•oper•ty difficult. Blesener~ agr~eed that access to the r~esidential ar~ea should not be fr~om a commer•cial str•eet. Lee suggested that access to the pr~oper~ty come fr~om the east and repor•ted that he is wor•king on a development plan for• the ar~ea with such an access. Lee also suggested that ther~e could be a fir•e lane installed fr~om the commer•cial str•eet to the r•esidential str•eet that would be developed on the south. Scalze felt that when development plans come in for~ the souther•n pr~oper•ty, the Council will need to take a fresh look at the situation. However~, the issue before the Council at this point was the r~esolution of the Metaltr~onics tr~affic pr~oblem. Lar•r•y Lee suggested that r~ather• than a tempor~ar•y cul-de-sac, that he install a tempor~ary "T" inter~section. Such an inter~section would be the best solution and semis can easily tur•n ar•ound in such an inter•section. Scalze asl<ed the time-fr~ame for• putting in the tur•n-ar~ound. Lee felt the inter~section would be put in a couple of weeks after~ load r•estr~ictions ar~e taken off. Lee r~aised the question of liability and felt that the tempor•ar~y easement should be dedicated to the City so that he would have no liability in the matter•. Council and the City Attor•ney indicated that a tempor•ar~y easement can be wor~ked out for• the tur~n-ar•ound placing liability on the City as long as the tur~n-ar~ound was in existence. Lee r~epor~ted that he would impr•ove the tur~n-ar•ound himself and that it would be surfaced with Class V materials. Bl esener~ suggested that i t be bor•der~ed i n some manner•. Scalze pointed out that the tur~n-ar~ound would have to meet the specifications of the City Engineer. The City Attorney reported that he will have to review title of the pr•oper~ty in conjunction with the tempor•ar~y easement. The length of the ter~m of the easement was also discussed, with Lee indicating that the ter~m should extend until the final plat is appr•oved for• the pr~oper~ty to the south. Scalze suggested that Mr•. Lee and the City Attor~ney wor~k out the legal matter•s, and if anything fur•ther~ needs to be addr•essed by the City Council it can be consider•ed at the Apr•il 27th Council meeting. Lee also indicated that he was willing to dedicate the tempor•ar•y easement to the City at no cost to the City. Page -8-
