City of Roseville Community Development Department Memo Ian, 26, 1996 TO: Steve Sarkozy, City Manager FROM: Dennis Welsch, Community Development Director (490-2232) RE: EAGLE CREST EASEMENTS ALONG COUNTY DITCH 4 Today I spoke with Paul Sentman (628-3005) regarding the solutions to the adjoining neighbors concerns about the height and landscaping of the Eagle Crest project. Sentman said they are now into serious negotiations over how to solve the neighbors concerns, He said the neighbors feel the west side of the County Ditch 4 ravine (from the center line of the creek) is their property and some currently use it for landscaping, when in reality, Eagle Crest owns a strip whi~h begins at the neighbors back ( east) property lines less than 1 foot wide on the north, but approximately 30 feet wide on the south edge of the property line, He asked if he could simply give them this property, to the middle of the creek, as one means of settling some of the disputes, He asked if this (reduction in land area) would change the density calculations for the Eagle Crest future phases, I told him that this density issue was not a major concern with staff (because the area is unbuildable anyway - within 50 feet of a creek), and would not change the density of the project as we review it. And, as an alternative, if he was concerned about "picky neighbors or staff reviews", he may want to think of a way to transfer access easements and a landscape easement to the neighbors, while retaining the underlying title. Mr. Sentman will evaluate the differences between retaining ownership and granting easements, versus outright gift of the land and reduced college liability for some accident on these steep slopes, His immediate thought was that on outright gift was simpler and benefitted all properties more than easements, ' xc' t~e North, Chuck Stifter, Mike Falk c: Col e Properties file 1
