COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 10, 1997 <br />Council Member Neal asked about the trail system, which is proposed to be installed under <br />power lines. He expressed concern that utility service trucks would damage the trails themselves <br />as they work on utility lines. Ms. Wyland explained the proposed trail system route, adding that <br />the Fox Trace trail system follows a similar route. <br />Council Member Neal also clarified that sewer and water would not be accessible to properties <br />along Lake Drive without this project. Ms. Wyland responded that this project will have <br />significant impact upon extension of these utilities to Lake Drive, and Mr. Ahrens echoed her <br />sentiments, adding that the provision of these utilities would be much more costly to the City <br />absent this project. <br />Council Member Lyden stated that the convenience of utilities along Lake Drive is not sufficient <br />reason for this project. He added that utilities along Lake Drive should be installed for <br />commercial benefit, not to add "rooftops". <br />Mayor Landers reminded the group that there are residences on Lake Drive beyond the <br />boundaries of this project who, if not presently, will soon require these services. He also asked <br />for clarification as to the sufficiency of the trail system to handle service vehicles as they work <br />on utility lines. Mr. Ahrens explained that the trail, ultimately proposed from Lake Drive to <br />Sunset, could be designed to accommodate the few trucks that would travel in the trail area for <br />that purpose. He added that the substance should be 5- to 6 -ton design, but could investigate the <br />possibility to raising that limit to 7 -ton. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked about green space within the development, and whether or not <br />wildlife would be accommodated. Ms. Wyland pointed out the proposed green space area, <br />indicating that there will be an additional 5 acres of park land as well as varying degrees of <br />setback, creating the appearance of more open space within this development than in typical <br />developments in the past. <br />Council Member Neal asked for a time frame within which this project will be constructed. Ms. <br />Wyland reminded Council that there is undeveloped property to the north of the project area <br />whose development will dictate total completion of the development. <br />Bruce Kerber of North Suburban Development spoke about the trail system, stating that the <br />easement involved would eventually be deeded back to the park system. He then provided <br />Council with a visual aid in the form of a map, showing the group the actual proposed trail <br />system. Mr. Kerber stated that the County would like for the development to use Wood Duck as <br />egress from the project until such time as the commercial property is developed allowing for <br />connecting roadways. He added that the portion of the project below the aforementioned <br />commercial property is projected for completed within two years. <br />Council Member Kuether asked if all of the quad homes are within the southern (bottom) portion <br />of the development, to which Mr. Kerber responded yes. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked if the number of units proposed will be included in the <br />6 <br />
