MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 7D <br />Tanda Gretz <br />March 25, 2002 <br />Approval of a Minor Subdivision <br />Outlot F, Clearwater Creek 3rd Addition <br />Gor -Em Builders, LLC, 1875 Commercial <br />Blvd., Andover, MN 55304 <br />ACTION REQURIED: 3/5 vote <br />BACKGROUND <br />Outlot F, measuring 10 X 300 feet, was originally platted as a pedestrian trail easement, <br />connecting Clearwater Creek Drive to LaCasse Drive, but not providing connection to <br />any other system of trails. The reason for the trail was to provide pedestrian access <br />across the subdivision, since a block of excessive length (1,700 feet) was created when a <br />block in the 3rd addition was added to an existing block in the 2nd addition (Attachments 1 <br />& 2). <br />The trail had not yet been constructed in August 2000, when it came to the attention of <br />the City Council Work Session Meeting of August 23, 2000, via Mr. Petronick, of 6601 <br />LaCasse Drive (Attachment 3). Mr. Petronick expressed a number of reservations about <br />the placement of a trail next to his home, plans for which he was unaware of when he <br />purchased his property. It was reported that "neighbors are also opposed to the trail." <br />After consideration, "council directed staff to proceed with vacating the trail easement," <br />according to the minutes for the September 6, 2000 City Council Work Session <br />(Attachment 4). <br />
