Mrs. Shirley Patte .res -'ng the Wenzel Farms Townhomes Association explained iation is concerned about public use of their private streets as trails. The t concern is the liability issue. Mrs. Patterson presented three (3) options for i� " 4`o i1 to consider. The Association would like to see Ivy Ridge Lane P vY g become a ci °e treet thereby relieving the Association of any liability. Mr. Ahrens was not in favor of Ivy Ridge Lane becoming a city street because it would set precedence. His basic concern in this subdivision is that the townhomes are set to close to the street and the street does not meet the specifications for a City street. After further discussion, it was decided that further information was needed. Staff was directed to have the City Attorney determine what the City owns and provide written options for settlement of this problem. Staff was also directed to obtain the Park Board response as to exactly where the trails should be located, and have Mr. Ahrens and Mr. DeGardner determine what is needed for the south boundary trail. Staff was further directed to give the City Attorneys response to Mrs. Patterson so that she can discuss the matter with the Townhome Association board.
