MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 25, 1990 Chapman agreed. Scalze questioned where the funding would come from for a storm sewer project. Scalze also felt that the walkway easement that is proposed should remain, pointing out that it would allow people on the cul-de-sac to access the adjacent park property without trespassing. Chapman questioned the need for the full 10% land dedication. Scalze pointed out that the existing txail in the adjacent park runs very close to the Swanson property. Therefore, the Park Commission recommended the land dedication in order to protect the trail and to retain the natural area. Council discussed this and felt that the Park Commission should make a recommendation on Chapman's request. Chapman requested that the Council act on the preliminary plat as presented rather than delaying the process by returning the matter to the Park Commission. Council felt that the preliminary plat could be approved subject to Chapman's presenting his request to the Park Commission if he so desired. Scalze pointed out that if a cash dedication were allowed, it would have to be based on an appraisal of the property or collected at the time building permits were issued on each lot. There was no one else from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Fahey, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 90-7-343 - APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE GREEN VALUE ADDITION AS PRESENTED ALLOWING THE APPLICANT TO GO BACK TO THE PARK COMMISSION AND PRESENT THE REQUEST FOR REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF LAND DEDICATION, IF THE APPLICANT SO DESIRES, ON THE BASI5 THAT THE REDUCTION WOULD GIVE GREATER DEPTH TO THE CUL-DE-SAC LOTS~ THAT THE REDUCTION WOULD BE MADE UP IN Page 10
