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