The County <br />wants an additional eight foot easement 'before they will allow the <br />plat to be filed. The Planning Commission has recommended approval <br />of this preliminary plat with the condition that drainage and utility <br />easements be provided. <br />LeRoy '"eyerson, rrl r Jewell Street, asked 'ghat the restrictions were <br />on a drainage easement. "..dninistrator Achen stated that any improvements <br />that are made on an easement could he removed by the City to make a <br />utility drainage. It is a City policy to get easements ':`there ever <br />nossihle just in case a problem arises. Engineer Hubbard stated <br />that the set hacks are still measured from the lot lines. <br />Administrator ",chen stated that the County has taken the position <br />that they will not even negotiate. The County will not build a four <br />lane road on a re' foot right of way but they require this right of <br />way because the State law saes they should. The City Attorney has <br />looked into this matter and feels that the County is probably right <br />in doing this. The County will refuse to record the plat unless <br />there is a 'c foot right of way. <br />Attorney '1eyers stated that the County may ask the City to get the <br />right of ways for Red flak Drive instead of being assessed for the <br />irnnrovenent. The question is if the City is willing to do this and <br />if so, when to start getting the right of way. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner reviewed what the comprehensive plan says <br />about Red Oak '?rive. <br />Sandra Meyerson stated that the ,,,hole idea seems to he protecting <br />the people on Red Oak Drive from an arterial highway, She asked if <br />the City could take over Red Oak Drive. <br />Administrator "chen exnl ai med that the Highway Department's policy <br />on these interchanges is to work with the local jurisdictions as much <br />as possible and try to resolve any problems. If the County owns the <br />road and the interchange goes in, they will have to hare the costs to <br />imorove the road. If the City owns the road when the interchange goes <br />in, the City and State would bare the costs of improving Red Oak Drive <br />and any traffic signals at County Road 1.
