MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 16, 1992 Morelan pointed out that the 20 foot drainage /utility easement would still remain. Fasciana felt that the trail width should be 6 feet so that people do not confuse it for a continuation of the roadway. Cylkowski asked why this trail easement should be 6 feet in width if others are 8 feet. Cylkowski felt there needed to be consistency. Morelan replied that there is a diversity of trail widths within the City, those widths ranging from 5 to 8 feet. Cylkowski asked about maintenance of these areas, reporting that the fencing along the trail connection in his neighborhood was damaged during the winter. Morelan suggested that Public Works will be out in the Spring to repair these kinds of damages. Fasciana reported that this past winter was the worst year he could remember for plowing snow. Fasciana pointed out that there was no frost in the ground, therefore, plows did damage boulevard areas. Cylkowski asked about plowing of trails during the winter. Morelan replied that not all trail areas were plowed, only certain trails where interest had been expressed by residents in keeping the trail open during the winter. Fitzgerald reported that he supported the recommendation for the 10 foot trail easement down the middle of the 20 foot drainage /utility easement, and would support ea 6 foot width for the trail that is eventually developed within the easement. Morelan asked if anyone had discussed the moving of the evergreen trees with Mr. Zietlow. Sanders replied that this had not been discussed with Zietlow. However, there are three evergreen trees in the middle of the easement area. Sanders reported that it was his feeling that these trees are still small enough that they could be moved. Zietlow reported that he planted the trees 8 or 9 years ago Page 3 Page 19
