Mounds View City Council March 25, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 16 <br />• <br />Council Member Marty indicated he had asked earlier whether this would affect the wetland and <br />learned the wetland was farther south. He then asked whether there would be an easement set <br />aside to provide room for a trail in the event the City wants to extend a trail in the future. <br />Planner Atkinson indicated that any trail would be in the right of way and noted the property is <br />outside of the wetland buffer area. <br />Council Member Quick asked whether the setback in the back of the newly created lot would be <br />large enough for drainage and utilities. <br />Planner Atkinson indicated there would be a 10-foot easement on both parcels for a total of 20 <br />feet. <br />Council Member Quick expressed concern that the property owner would be able to fill the <br />easement area. <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated the easement would become an encumbrance to the public forever. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Thomas.
