MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 26, 1990 development planned for the eastern side of Pioneer Park which will be enticing to children. Scalze also pointed out that the City will require drainage easements along lot lines, therefore, the pathway easement could run over the drainage easement requiring no additional area. Scalze stated that she feels the City should be consistent in the treatment of this development, and requested that the Council require walkway easements so the children from the Vanderbie Road area can easily access Pioneer Park. Blesener pointed out that the new preliminary plat will involve Costa Lane horseshoeing onto DeSoto. Therefore, if the walkway easement lined up with the northern Costa Lane connection to DeSoto, easements would only be necessary between Costa Lane and Vanderbie. Fahey noted that once pathways are developed, the City is responsible for their maintenance. Scalze felt it important to provide access to the park for pedestrian traffic, rather than having pedestrians trespassing over private property. LaValle was concerned about motorized vehicles on the pathways. Scalze did not feel this problem would be increased by the walkway. Scalze also pointed out that the lots have not yet been sold, therefore, purchasers would be aware of the existence of the walkway prior to buying their lot. Scalze again pointed out that other developers have been required to provide these pathways. Mr. Fahey introdixced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 90-12-574 - RECONSIDERING PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION AND ACCEPTING THE PARK COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR WALKWAY PATHS AND EASEMENTS FROM VANDERBIE ROAD TO DESOTO, AT THE DEVELOPER'S EXPENSE, AS PART OF THE COSTA ESTATES PLAT WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE CITY HAS REQUIRED IN SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (3) Fahey, Scalze, Blesener. Nays (1) LaValle. Resolution declared adopted. Page 20
