MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 10, PRELIMINARY PLAT - COSTA ESTATES 1991 Mr. Bob DeBace appeared before the Commission and requested approval of a revised preliminary plat for Costa Estates. DeBace described the revised plat, pointing out that the change from that previously considered is that Costa Lane horseshoes onto DeSoto. DeBace reported that the plat consists of 42 lots, all of which meet City Code requirements and no variances are being requested. DeBace pointed out that the plat is totally on land owned by the Costa Family. DeBace pointed out that the previous plat involved Costa Lane going north to Allen Avenue. However, this plat has been abandoned due to the costs and time involved with condemnation and legal work necessary in order to obtain the road right -of -way easements to the north. DeBace reported that the City Attorney is in the process of drawing up a development agreement that the Costa Family will enter into with the City for this development. DeLonais pointed out the recommendation of the Park Commission for walkways in the plat to access Pioneer Park. DeLonais asked if the walkways are shown on the plat. Mr. DeBace replied that the plat does not show walkways, and the approval of the last preliminary plat submitted to the City did not require the walkways. The City Planner reported that the Park Commission has restated their desire to see walkways in the plat and has asked that the City Council reconsider this issue. DeBace reported that the property owner opposes the walkways. DeBace expressed concern that the Council recently discussed the issue of walkways within the plat even though it was not on the Council's meeting agenda. Drabik stated that she was in favor of requiring walkways within the plat. DeLonais stated that he has been considering this issue and would not want a walkway adjacent to his property. Page 2
