072 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 13, 1987 Adopted by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 13th day of April, 1987. Marily G. Anderson, Clerk - Treasurer DEER PASS TRAIL IMPROVEMENT (CONTINUED) 1 enson, Mayor Mr. Stahlberg outlined what has happened on this issue to date. A public hearing was held on January 12, 1987 and Mr. Prokop told the Council he had a plan for that area that he wanted to present to the residents. However Mr. Prokop said he was disappointed that nothing was done about his proposal. The residents had tried to resolve the issue in another manner but this also failed. Mr. Prokop said he would like the Council to order the improvement so that this matter did not surface again. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Volk about the condition of the road. Mr. Volk said some maintenance has taken place and the surface is in good condition. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Hawkins what the alternatives were in this situation. Mr. Hawkins said that the road has been accepted by the City, therefore there could be legal ramifications if the Cit were to deny building permits. He suggested there were only two ways to go; 1) order an improvement and complete the roadway or 2) acknowledge that this is an inferior roadway and continue to issue building permits. Mr. Roy Mattson, Deer Pass Trail told the Council about his experience when he applied for a building permit. He felt the entire matter was not handled properly and no building permits should have been issued until the entire road was completed. He said if the road needs to be upgraded, lets get on with it. - Mr. Wayne Ellison, Deer Pass Trail felt since he had purchased a portion of the Jankus property he would also have a vested interest in the road. He also said that he would like the situation to be resolved in one way or another. Mayor Benson asked Mr Hawkins if the road is not finished, can the City force the other landowners to reimburse Mr. Prokop. Mr. Hawkins said the City cannot do this. PAGE 7
