<br />Council Member Travis expressed concern for trailway access in the middle of Dupre Road. <br />Council Member Sweeney stated that the trailway in Eagle Pass development is similar to that <br />proposed by Ground Development. <br /> <br />Ms. Karla DeVine, Parks and Recreation Committee Member, stated that the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee was dissatisfied with the first plan because the trail would cross two (2) roadways and <br />a cul-de-sac. The current proposal crosses one (1) roadway. <br /> <br />Mr. Wayne LeBlanc, Parks and Recreation Committee Member, expressed concern for the <br />proposed trailway width and stated that the developer may need to obtain a 30-foot easement for <br />the trailway. Mr. LeBlanc felt that this would then make the lots smaller. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson questioned if the trailway would be ten (10) feet wide and paved. Mr. <br />Cooper stated it would meet ADA requirements. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis stated that if the trailway crossed the road there would need to be a <br />crosswalk. Mr. Cooper stated that a pedestrian ramp and crosswalk would be installed. <br /> <br />Mr. LeBlanc expressed concern for the width of the trailway. He questioned whether the square <br />footage of the lot included the easement for the trailway. Mr. Cooper concurred. Mr. LeBlanc <br />stated that some lots were small in size. Mr. LeBlanc suggested the City take into consideration <br />the master plan to connect Centerville's trailways from east to west to connect to trails in Lino <br />Lakes and Hugo. Mr. LeBlanc also expressed concern for pedestrians crossing Centerville Road <br />and suggested the City consider a tunnel or flashing lights to ensure the safety of children and <br />residents. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />Mr. March stated that other communities have used tunnels to cross county roads. Mr. March also <br />stated that in the City of Andover a tunnel was built under a set of railroad tracks with an <br />approximate cost of $100,000. Mr. March stated it may not be feasible for Centerville to have a <br />tunnel to cross Centerville Road. Council Member Nelson stated that the City of Lino Lakes has a <br />tunnel under Birch Street ensuring students safety in crossing the street. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney questioned the depth of the sewer and water lines along Centerville <br />Road. Mr. Peterson stated that typically sewer and water lines are installed approximately fifteen <br />(15) feet deep. Mr. LeBlanc suggested if a tunnel was not feasible, perhaps flashing lights would <br />be. Mr. LeBlanc suggested Centerville check with Anoka County to make sure the proposed <br />trailway meets County requirements as the trailway may be able to be turned over to the County in <br />the future as a regional trailway. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber questioned the width of the trail in the Hunter's Crossing Development and Mr. <br />Peterson stated nine (9) and one half (1/2) feet wide. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether the Parks and Recreation Committee had <br />considered the crossing of 20th Avenue regarding the trailway. Council Member Sweeney stated <br />that the Committee had discussed this item and determined that it was impossible to plan for the <br />trailway until the property developed. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated it may be in the best interest of the City to have the <br />developer run the trailway north through or along Outlot A. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 15 <br />
