MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 13, 1994 <br />require Mr. Keenan to enter into a restrictive covenant <br />on the property in which he would agree to his share of <br />improvement costs if the road is developed and utilities <br />are put in. <br />Hanson pointed out that sewer would have to be obtained <br />from Keller Parkway due to the elevations in the area. <br />Water could come from LaBore Road. <br />The Public Works Superintendent agreed, and indicated <br />that the water line would have to be 1 1/2 to 2 inches in <br />diameter to provide adequate pressure given the length <br />needed for that line. <br />Dr. Keenan asked about a well. <br />The Superintendent stated that it was City policy to <br />require a connection to water main when it is available. <br />The Superintendent believed that mortgage companies made <br />this same requirement. <br />Dr. Keenan again pointed out the high cost of improving a <br />road for the development of one home given the fact that <br />the other property owners in the area do not want to <br />develop their property. <br />Morelan pointed out that if the road were put in as a <br />public improvement, the benefitting properties would be <br />assessed. <br />The City Administrator indicated that road costs would <br />not be assessed if the project were put in as a private <br />project. <br />Scalze stated that the City just does not allow <br />development without frontage on a public roadway, and has <br />never allowed public roadways to be used as driveways. <br />Pedersen pointed out that there are equally long <br />driveways in the City, and indicated that he was not <br />opposed to the concept provided the property owner <br />maintained the driveway. Pedersen suggested that the <br />City could require that the road be improved if further <br />development adjacent to it is proposed. <br />Morelan asked how a private project would work. <br />The Administrator replied that the developer would pay <br />4 <br />
