<br />February 15,2001 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />Council Member Capra questioned Mr. Peterson whether there would be enough "line of <br />sight" around the trees located in the front comer of the building. Mr. Peterson felt that <br />there would be based on the presented plan. Mr. Drilling stated that the trees could be <br />moved if deemed appropriate by the County. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned whether Council would be reviewing the Developer's <br />Agreement presented at the previous Council meeting. Mr. March stated he had copies of <br />the document with the blanks filled in and reviewed same. Mr. March stated that Council <br />would be given copies of the document for review prior to considering same at the next <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned whether an eight (8) foot wide trailway meets City <br />requirements. Mr. March explained that an eight (8) foot trailway is standard throughout <br />the community and a ten (10) foot wide trailway is reserved for major east/west trails. <br />Mr. March stated he had given the Anoka County trail information to Mr. Drilling's <br />architect. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated that Council needed to indicate a dollar amount for trail improvements <br />to be made to the previously installed trail at the Apple Tree Square facility. <br /> <br />Mr. Drilling questioned whether repairs to the trail were included in the Developer's <br />Agreement for this property. Mr. March explained Council wanted to see the trailway <br />completed in conjunction with this project. Mr. Drilling stated that he did not have a <br />problem with same; however, additional factors may need to be considered, i.e., Anoka <br />County and the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. March stated he would like to <br />escrow a dollar amount for completion of the trail and if the trailway was not completed, <br />the City could draw on the letter of credit. Mr. Drilling stated that he was unprepared for <br />the City to tie the trailway project with the proposed project. Mr. Drilling questioned the <br />estimated cost of same. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated that Mr. Peterson would provide the dollar amount for the trail way <br />project. <br /> <br />Mr. Drilling stated he was willing to spend $5,000 if the City was willing to contribute <br />the remainder to complete the project. Mr. Drilling stated that he did not feel it was fair <br />to tie this project in with the proposed project due to the trail being installed to standards <br />and City requirements not being presented to him prior to installation. Mr. Drilling <br />requested that the City remove the trailway repairs from the Developer's Contract. Mr. <br />Drilling stated his willingness to work in conjunction with the City on the trailway and <br />suggested that the City agree to a completion date of June I, 2003 for the trailway. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned the appropriate action to be taken on this matter. Mr. <br />Peterson stated that trailway is not in the Anoka County right-of-way. Mr. March stated <br />that Anoka County had stated that they would not require the ditch to remain there if the <br />City uses a piping that meets their drainage requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg questioned whether approval of the site plan hinged on the western <br />trail way issue being resolved. Mr. March stated that once the City approves the plan, the <br />only assurance of completion of the western trailway would be Mr. Drilling's word that <br />he will complete it. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 18 <br />
