- MInutes of Regular CouncIl MeetIng Monday, February 13, 1984 - 7:30 p.m. Page Two Miller referred CouncIl to a transparency of the proposed plat; noted the * road proposed at the north boundary of the property, antIcIpatIng the other * road on the ReI ling property. It was noted that * roads are frowned upon; the Comprehensive Plan IdentIfies a publIc road right-of-way precIsely where It Is shown, and It Is considered to be In the publIc Interest to obtaIn this land for a road. MIller noted that for plannIng and engIneerIng reasons, shifting of the road Is not practIcal; road should be located as IndIcated. Lynden explaIned that If public benefIt can be shown and the road Is necessary and It Is In the publIc Interest to obtain thIs land for a road, City can condemn It. MIller recommended that approval of the PrelIminary Plat be deferred pendIng resolutIon of the followIng: . 1. ElimInatIon of Arden View DrIve r.o.w. west of Royal Hills DrIve. 2. ProvIsIon of InsIde r.o.w. radius of at teast 25 feet at the turn In Arden VIsta DrIve. 3. SatIsfactory resolutIon of storm water storage at the southwest portion of the site. 4. ProvIsIon of a 20' wide park dedIcatIon along the east boundary of the property. 5. Renaming of Arden VIsta DrIve to Arden VIsta Court. HIcks moved, seconded by Rauenhorst, that Council authorize Lynden to determine publIc benefIt and to commence condemnatIon for road purposes. In further dIscussIon, Lynden noted that the CIty may have to JoIn In the plat; noted that costs of the condemnatIon are agaInst the developer (part of project costs). HIcks noted that he would not be In favor of the motIon If. the City has to bear the cost of the proceedIngs. MIller noted that the plat Is based on the Comprehensive Development Plan, whIch Identifies a collector In thIs area where It connects to exIstIng Arden View DrIve. ChristIansen asked If alternate routes have been explored to connect Arden VIew DrIve to SnellIng Avenue; saId he feels there are other alternatIves for thIs road, not necessarIly as proposed. Miller explaIned that engIneering and topography Indicate thIs Is where the road belongs; explaIned that followIng a prop~rty lIne Is what Is normally done; noted that needed ReIlIng r.o.w. can be reduced by movIng the road to the south. Needed ReI lIng r.o.w. would be Increased If road Is moved to the north. HIcks amended hIs motIon to add, contIngent upon Council approval of the PrelimInary Plat of Royal Hilts North. MotIon on amendment was seconded by Ra uenhorst a nd carr I ed. (H I c ks, . Rauenhorst, Mulcahy, Woodburn votIng In favor of the motIon; ChristIansen votIng In opposItIon. (4-1) Amended motIon carrIed. (Hicks, Rauenhorst, Mulcahy, Woodburn voting In favor; ChrIstiansen votIng In oppositIon.) (4-1) Case No. 83-13, PrelImInary Plat of McClung ThIrd AddItIon - John McClung A transparency of the PrelimInary Plat of McClung ThIrd AddItion was shown. MIller noted that the plat Is dependent upon the approval of Royal HI I Is North, for access; noted that the PrelImInary Plat could be approved contingent upon approval of the Royal HIlls North Plat, but he Is reluctant to recommend approval because of the unknowns In the Royal HIlls North Plat.
