'I I: , Kim Stephan From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Dan & Mary Capra [netfalcon@comcast.net] Friday, April 21, 20067:58 AM Larson, Dallas; Bender Teresa Stephan, Kim Tail Easement Good Morning All, I would like to have the Zeigler's bridge issue on the agenda for our next meeting. I did meet with Andrea and Laura last evening regarding the location of a foot bridge on their property. I will be requesting the council grant a 90 day extension on removal of the bridge to this property owner due to the following: 1. Clarification needs to occur on what appears to be a City Trail easement over the utility easement of the property. 2. The Zeigler's did not put up the bridge it was put in place by the previous owners of the property due to the neighborhood children being told the trail easement was their for them to use to get to the bus stop located the Mill Road city park property. 3. The Zeigler's are more than happy to remove the bridge or have the City remove the bridge, but have concerns with kids who know of the trail and use the trail of putting logs and other items in the ditch to get across. Thus the bridge was built by the previous owners of the property in an effort to both gain access to their property across the ditch for maintenance and prevent debris from being place in the ditch for foot travel by students using the city trail. 4. Per Dallas in today's planning the City would never put a trail easement over a utility easement. Development in this area of the City was in the late 1980's early 1990's, during that time all residents building here had been told that was a trail easement. The easement appears to be 20 feet and appears as a trail easement on some of the City maps. 5. The Zeigler's appear to be willing to work with the City to resolve this issue and I feel the City Park and Rec Committee as well as the City attorney needs to provide us with and opinion on this situation.
