AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR Marty Asleson DATE April 25, 1994 TOPIC Shores of Marshan Trail Please find attached a copy of the Regular City Council Agenda minutes from April 11, 1994. During the open-mike section James Ferris, from 7278 Stage Coach Trail and Richard Backlund , 7270 Stage Coach Trail appeared to discuss their concerns for the trail placement between their houses. - I met with these residents to discuss viable options at this point. Their suggestion was to move the trail to the north side of lot 1. They informed me that they had already discussed this with the owner of this lot and that he did not have any objection to this move. They also said that they had talked to Jack Menkveld and that he would move the trail. I pointed out that the move would place the trail on church property and that they would need to talk to the church about this possibility and the obtaining of an easement. They said that they would do this. This would still give us a trail access and in the interim of a segmented trail into the Regional Park, would maintain the trail loop in the development. The options are to maintain the present trail segment and narrow the visible part of the trail down to the 8 foot bituminous (the developer roughed in the trail and rocked it almost the entire 15 feet so it looks such wider) ; or to move the trail. This I would hope could be done at the initiative of the property owners since they did have the knowledge beforehand of this trail. If the trail can be moved with; the homeowners initiative, this makes sense to me. Otherwise there could be a city expense for obtaining an easeent, and moving the trail. X
