,ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 8, 1990 #1532 FULLERTON PROPERTIES, INC. •2225 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH ROAD NAME APPROVAL FINAL SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY RESOLUTION #2880 Mr. Joe Franks, Vice President of Fullerton Properties, Inc. was present for the review of this application. It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by Councilmember Nettles, to adopt Resolution #2880 approving the road names of Cox Farm Road and Shadowood Drive. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0, Motion passed. City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the other portion for consideration of final subdivision is the issue relating to contingency on the easement being granted over the drainage and utility easements for a bike trail. The application for this property was originally filed prior to new Park Dedication Fees going into effect. $200.00 for each lot was to go to City. After discussions, the City found the drainage and utility areas amenable to bike trails and the applicant indicated a willingness to allow trails under certain conditions. The developer would like no construction on this drainage and utility easement until such time as the City has acquired and is constructing a trail of equal length connecting to this property. The Park Commission reviewed this condition and it is their recommendation that this contingency not be included. Staff sees • that the proposal by the developer is not out of line with the development. The City will look at a proposal with all the bike trails, indicate where easements and property are availabe to construct trails, get quotations, study the budget of park dedication and come up with a proposal for constructing a trail in increments. This should help solve this impediment. Acting Mayor Callahan asked for clarification of "take and give back ". Bernhardson explained this is a separate issue that entails right -of -way dedication on the western boundary of this property exluding the Jim Cox parcel for the Outlots. This has been used as a yard by Mr. Cox over the years. The City asked for additional right -of -way dedication as part of this plat. Mr. Cox was concerned about this. There is a possibility that Willow Drive, if it is ever reconstructed probably by the County, would be moved to the west so that the additional 7' right -of -way would possibly not be needed. It was originally proposed that the City would automatically grant that back to property owner if not needed. However, because of various laws regarding vacation of roads, the proposal now is that the City would only, at his request, set up the necessary vacation hearings to possibly allow that to happen. Joe Franks addressed the Council. He reviewed the July 9, 1990 meeting at which time the Council granted the preliminary plat approval and issued a resolution with some 15 compliance • C
