Alike Black - Royal Oaks Realty - , Mr. Black discussed three scenarios to loop the water main under the creek and down Peltier Lake Drive. Royal Oaks is willing to offer the city $50,000 to run utilities down Peltier Lake Drive, Mr. Black predicted the development completion within two to three years. Councilmember Powers- Rasmussen suggested sidewalks to access the school since there is a concern with safety on County Road 14. Mayor Wilharber discussed sidewalks in and around the development. Mr. Black understood only a collector street required sidewalks. Mayor Wilharber commented running sidewalks from the east side of Centerville Road, connecting to the proposed south road near the school property would avoid safety hazards. Mr. Black confirmed lot 2, blocks 1 -8 is the area for the sidewalk location. Mayor Wilharber agreed with Councilmember Powers- Rasmussen on the safety concerns. Nyberg commented, the city may want to consider sidewalks on Peltier Lake Drive if it is reconstructed. Mayor Wilharber suggested waiting until the Informational Meeting to receive the citizens input. Mayor Wilharber asked for input from the Council. Councilmember Helmbrecht commented, she was fine with running a sidewalk from Centerville Road to meet the trail on the west side of the school property. Councilmember Brenner suggested sidewalks through the development. Mayor Wilharber asked Mr. Black, "Is the section of sidewalk agreeable with Royal Oaks?" Mr. Black commented it would be agreeable if the city pays for the trail and the city maintains responsibility for the sidewalk maintenance. Mr. Black commented the trail is clearly there to accommodate people beyond the development and if the city wants sidewalks perhaps the city should pay for it. Mr. Nyberg commented Mr. Blacks wishes were not out of line. Mr. March commented the least the developer could do is provide the sidewalk. Mr. March recommends the developer put in a sidewalk along the west side of the development. Mr. March continued, requiring the developer to pay for the concrete, sidewalk trail easement to the school property and to the southern stub of Centerville Road is the least the developer could do. Mr. Black commented the request was way out of line, if the City wants a sidewalk the developer can put in the sidewalk, but the city should pay for and maintain it. Mr. March suggested tabling the issue, although since this is a safety issue, he felt the issue should not be up for debate. MOTION by Powers - Rasmussen, seconded by Helmbrecht to require the developer to put in a continuous concrete trail way from Centerville Road to the east, following the roadway to the south.and down to the school walkway. In addition, the cost will be credited out of the trailway dedication with all overage paid by the developer. Motion carried. Mr. Black questioned the maintenance responsibility. Councilmember Helmbrecht explained the only city maintained sidewalks are the sidewalks the school has deemed hazardous. Mr. Black asked, "Since the city asked to have the developer pay for it, can the city maintain it?" . Councilmember Helmbrecht commented the city has limited equipment. Councilmember Powers - Rasmussen commented the city has an ordinance which explains property owners have to maintain the sidewalk on their property. Mayor Wilharber asked for further questions. There were no
