MINUTES OF THE REGULAR QRONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD QN FEBRUARY 3, 1997 <br /> (#2 - Saga Hill Access - Continued) <br /> A Tonkaview resident said that she was concerned about the DNR grant and increased <br /> traffic if Garden Lane was opened. <br /> Wilson questioned Gaffron if access to Lots 4 and 5 could be gained from CoRd 151. <br /> Gaf�i-on reported that it would require revisions to the roadway. Wilson asked who would <br /> pay for the improvement. Gaf�'ron said it would be far the benefit of the property owner <br /> as the City does not realize the benefit. McDermatt noted that there would still be the <br /> need to acquire the right to have such an easement as it is currently only deeded as a <br /> driveway. Gaffron said the driveway was never cantemplateci for access to Lots 4 and 5 <br /> noting the cost invalved. Gaffron agreed with Wilson that this was probably a better <br /> option than access from Highview. <br /> Krier indicated the possible aptions for access to the Sollner-Webb property. A public <br /> southerly access from T�nkaview Lane via Garden Lane with sewer from Highview would <br /> cost appro�mately $285,000. A private access to the south using Garden Lane with no <br /> sewer would cost about $129,000. A norther(y access from West Branch Road would <br /> cost about $148,000 plus sewer. Krier indicated that this alternative would only serve <br /> Lots 4 and S. Access from Garden Lane would serve Lots 1 and 2 as well. Krier <br /> indicated that if the lot north of Lot 1 was subdivided, there may possibly be as many as <br /> seven lots served by Garden Lane which wc�uid distribute the costs among these la�s. He <br /> sa5d it was their recommendation that the owner pursue public access from Garden Lane <br /> for Lflts 4, 5, 2 as well as the park under a City project. He said it would be the most cost <br /> effective and provide public access. Kasprick inquired to whom it would be cost <br /> effective? Krier said it would be cost effective for the property owners. Wilson said that <br /> there were considerations other than costs to resolve. <br /> Milt Krelitz said he was representing Mr. Soskin, owner of the 7 acre parcel adjacent to <br /> Garden Lane. He noted that this property wc�uld tie in to Garden Lane. <br /> Irene Silber indicated that the Soskin property also has access from Wildhurst. <br /> White asked Mr. Krier about the asking price of the Sollner-Webb property and whether <br /> the owner would consider a conservation easement for Lots 4 and 5. <br /> Wilson asked the Commission members for their recammendation. <br /> McDermott said he would recommend access from Garden Lane with the road being <br /> relocated awa}�fram the ravine area. McDermott did not recommend an option of a raad <br /> between the two park properties to the north and looping back soutl�waxd along Garden <br /> Lane. <br /> 5 <br />
