LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 21, 1992 6 Street Access easement over Phase II: Jim Peterson explained the property was subject to mortgage and a street access easement over Phase II was better than a blanket easement. Councilman Johnson asked if he was willing to dedicate the right-of-way for the road as opposed to just granting the city an easement over that property. Attorney Filla pointed out the City's purpose can be served either way. If you dedicate this as part of the plat, you have the right to use that for road and utility purposes. If you decide not to use it for that purpose in the future, then you vacate part of the road which reverts back to adjoining property owners. If you word the easement properly, you can acquire the same use rights over that particular area. Dedication at this point would require the roads to be part of Phase I of the plat which could create some financing problems. Councilman Johnson stated he had two objectives: 1. is to guarantee the city that we don't end up with an illegal cul- de-sac,and 2. be consistent from one development to another. Peterson will provide legal descriptions to the City Attorney for the road and drainage easements in Phase II. Street Design: M/No Second Hunt/No Second - the city waives its engineering roads standards in the Stonegate Final Plat to allow 24' road width with rollover bituminous curbs M/S/P Hunt/Dick Johnson - the city waives its engineering road standards in the Stonegate Final Plat to allow a single road type of 28' width with bituminous rollover curbing based on the recommendation from the Maintenance Foreman that we not mix curb and ditch within the same development to aid in plowing.
