Planning & Zoning Board <br />February 11, 2004 <br />Page 4 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />7. Dedication of a 10-foot wide trail easemen t adjacent to Lake Drive, which would <br />overlay the required 10-foot dr ainage and utility easement. <br />Chair Schaps asked if the residents were all okay with this proposal. Mr. Grochala <br />replied they had recently had a neighborhood m eeting to discuss this, but there might be <br />some residents in attendance tonigh t who wanted to make comment. <br />Mr. Rafferty requested a condition stating that parkland dedication shall be in the form of <br />a cash payment in lieu of land. <br />Mr. Root asked if Marshan Lane had been built to City standards. Mr. Grochala replied it <br />was basically a public street by default and the City maintained it. He stated they were <br />unable to find the actual dedication to the C ity though. He stated th e street would remain <br />the same width and repaved once the utilities were put through. <br />Mr. Studenski stated the work that would be done would put back the standard thickness <br />of 1 ½” to 2” of blacktop and then the 6” gr avel base, but they w ould not be going to the <br />full width of a standard City street. He indicated there would be no curbs. <br />Mr. Root inquired about the mixed use at the end of the street and asked if there would be <br />any need to widen the street in the future and asked if there would be additional right-of- <br />way needed. Mr. Grochala replied there woul d be sufficient right-of-way in this area. <br />Mr. Tralle asked if the ponding issue that ha d occurred a couple of years ago was still an <br />issue. Mr. Grochala replied that issue wa s a backup of the sewer lines and it had been <br />resolved. <br />Mr. Tralle asked if the exis ting homes would be required to have their septic systems <br />checked. Mr. Grochala replied they did requ ire pumping of all septic systems every three <br />years and at that time they were inspected. If the systems were failing, the City would be <br />notified at that time. <br />Chair Schaps invited the public to make comment. <br />Ron Strantz, Lot 16, stated he had gone to all of the meetings and he had little objections <br />except there was something wrong with the propert y lines. He stated when the City did <br />the survey in 1997, the road was an easement up to the corner of this property and during <br />the meetings it came up as to who actually owned Marshan Lane because it had never <br />been signed over. He asked if there was a le gal easement and he asked for a copy of such <br />an easement. He stated the cul-de-sac did not have an easement either for access. He <br />requested before this went too far that they resolve the easement issue. He stated when <br />this was deeded in he did not want to see his legal description ch anged. He thought the <br />city should have documentation stating that they own the road. Ch air Schaps noted the <br />historical records of the City were not comple te with respect to this area, however the city <br />would discuss measures to officially acquire the road. Mr. Strantz agreed that the <br />discrepancies in the property lin es on the plat were minimal, and that generally speaking <br />he was happy with the proposed arrangement . Mr. Strantz stated that he would <br />absolutely hook up to city utilitie s once they are available.
