Easements must be provided over the storm water ponding area and fire access lane. The City Attorney must review and approve cross-easements between the various lots for access, drainage, use of open space, maintenance and utilities; such document to be filed with the final plat 3. The technical aspects of the plat must be approved by the City Attorney and Engineer after preparation of the final documents. 4. The development agreement must be drafted, approved and executed prior to filing of the Final Plat. Planner Bergly submitted a drawing indicating some additional park land the applicant proposes to dedicate to meet the 10% requirement. . There was discussion relative to the park dedication for this development. Councilmember Mahowald advised the Park Committee preferred cash in lieu of land dedication, staff suggested a total land dedication. After discussion, Council concurred a combination of land and cash dedication to meet the 10 percent requirement was preferable. It was determined the triangular parcel shown on the northeast section of the plat along with a cash contribution would be preferable. Chuck Cook agreed to a cash/land dedication. Chuck Cook, the applicant, stated he is under obligation to purchase the property prior to the end of the year; it is his intention to develop the four parcels at the same time and have all parcels remain under one ownership. He indicated he would prefer the conditions were not attached to final plat approval. Council discussed the items for inclusion in the Development Agreement. Attorney Filla questioned if the trailway easement will be required and how it will be maintained. He also reviewed procedures for filing the final plat and indicated it would be preferable for all documents to be submitted prior to execution and filing of the final plat. Mayor Sather noted that the Planning Commission preferred the trailway for public access, however, they did not make it part of a formal recommendation to the Council only asked for Council consideration. Sather stated his opinion is that . it is difficult to assume the general public would use the pathway when in fact the amenities are to the north; noted there may be traffic concerns. Attorney Filla questioned the fire access and if the Fire Chief has approved the proposed access. Filla advised the fire access should be conditioned in the development agreement to insure proper construction and responsibility for maintenance should be specified.
