MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 25, 1993 The Administrator also indicated that the 1990 review and approval of this plat required a development agreement between the City and the developer. Pedersen asked about a street stub to the property to the east. The City Planner indicated that the City determined in 1990 that the street stub was not practical due to the topography of the area. Morelan suggested that the City Engineer needed to review more drainage information before final plat approval can be granted. The City Administrator reported that the City Engineer is in discussions with the developer's engineer on final sizing of drainage improvements. Scalze pointed out that Park and Recreation Commission's discussion about a walkway easement to the west, possibly between Lots 4 and 5. The Planner pointed out that the grades in that area are steep. Pedersen suggested that due to the steep grades it might be preferable to not require the walkway easement forcing residents to go around to Gervais Mill Park via Little Canada Road. Pedersen pointed out that the City did not require pathway easements of other developers where he thought such an easement was much more critical. Morelan suggested that the Park and Recreation Commission made their recommendation for the path easement without knowing the exact location of Lots 4 and 5, and it was suggested that the lots be staked out so that the Park and Recreation Commission would have a better understanding area and the topoqraphy. The City Administrator pointed out that there will be a development agreement that can address the walkway issue. Once that agreement is drafted, it will be presented to the Council for approval. Hanson questioned the feasibility of the walkway due to the topography of the area. Scalze commented that the provision in the development agreement can be worded so that the walkway would be obtained if it were feasible to do so. Page 19
