MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 10, 1991 The Commission continued its discussion of the walkway issue and decided to address it as a separate action item from the preliminary plat itself. Mr. Herkenhoff recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Costa Estates as submitted with Costa Lane horseshoeing onto Desoto subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as contained in his report dated January 7, 1991. Motion seconded by Drabik. Motion carried 6 - 0. Keis pointed out that if the City requires the walkway as part of the plat, purchasers of the lots will be aware of the situation right from the start. Keis felt the would be much easier than trying to put a path in the area after it has been developed. DeLonais felt that to keep people on the walkways, they will have to be fenced. Pedersen pointed out that without the walkway a small child cannot get from Vanderbie to the park without traveling a good distance by street. Pedersen pointed out that the park is being constructed to serve the community and the City should provide ready access to the park. Clarence Bruhn, a resident of the area, questioned the liability to homeowners by having a walkway easement through private property. The City Planner explained that the liability would rest with the City since the City is granting the right to use the land as a walkway. Mr. Bendel recommended that the City Council consider requiring as part of the Costa Estates plat a single walkway connecting Vanderbie Road to Costa Lane in light of the benefits the walkway would provide to the residents of the area. Motion seconded by Pedersen. Motion carried 4 - 2. DeLonais and Herkenhoff voting against.
