<br />Sidewalk on Revoir Street - Dennis and Molly Nelson (1860 Revoir St.) <br />Mr. Nelson reported a developer planned a sidewalk for Revoir Street without the residents <br />knowledge. Also, Mrs. Nelson concluded a petition was distributed among the Revoir residents <br />and results showed a majority were not in favor of a sidewalk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buckbee explained the property seller is required to disclose an easement exhibit <br />indicating buyers knowledge. Such a violation may cause the Developer to be in violation of the <br />develojnnent agreement. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson requested the City enter into negotiation with the Developer to put in a sidewalk in a <br />higher traffic area. Councilmember Helmbrecht stated she was in favor of a sidewalk on Revoir <br />Street. Councilmember Brenner agrees, but was concerned why the residents were not informed <br />of the sidewalk. Councilmember Buckbee suggested the developer produce a signed exhibit from <br />the property owners on Revoir Street. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson requested the Council's support for Revoir Street residents, and suggested the <br />Developer reimburse the property owners for the land and materials due to the installation of a <br />sidewalk. Councilmember Helmbrecht requested Staff check with the attorney on the legalities of <br />this issue. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Mr. Hatem Ouaheim - Complaint <br />Mr. Hatem Quaheim (7251 Clearwater Drive) reported approximately 75 trees were removed <br />from the Lakeland Hills Development which exposed the his rear yard and house. In contrast, <br />the Developer stated during the preliminary plat discussion he would save the trees in the <br />development. <br /> <br />7: 15 p.m. Councilmember Powers arrived. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buckbee explained the Developer owns the property and has the decision what to <br />do with the property. Councilmember Helmbrecht explained the Developer may replace the trees. <br /> <br />Mr. Black questioned what Mr. Quaheim was requesting, noting during the preliminary plat <br />discussion Mr. Quaheim drainage concerns were addressed. Further, Mr. Black stated the <br />development has accommodated Mr. Quaheim's drainage concerns, and despite Mr. Quaheim is <br />now suggesting the drainage is not a concern. Concluding, Mr. Black suggested Mr. Quaheim <br />plant a bush to buffer the change. <br /> <br />Councilmember Brenner noted herself and Councilmember Powers picked up tree preservation <br />information at the League of Minnesota Cities Conference and suggested the City address this <br />issue in the future. <br /> <br />APPEARANCE: <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />3 <br />
