Said Outlot shall be subject to an underlying road, drainage and utility easement to be granted to the City for possible future use. except that the westerly 5 feet of said Outlot shall not be subject to said easement. The Declaration of Covenants for maintenance of the private road shall be amended to include the portion of proposed Lot 1 not included under the existing Declaration. The City had no intent to continue said private road westward to Birch Lane at the time of the plat of Tonkawa Shores in 1998. The intent of stopping the underlying road easement 5 feet short of the west boundary as noted above is to limit the likelyhood that a future Council will make the future through road connection to Birch Lane. Lots 1 and 2 were required to gain access to the private road via a shared driveway in order to minimize hardcover on those lots. The lots would now increase in size and eliminate the likelyhood of a shared driveway. A buffer w-as developed within Lot 3 for the purposes of a drainage easement granted to the City. The Declaration of Covenants shall be amended to include the west portion of proposed Lot 1 in the Maintenance Agreements for said buffer. Thomas D. Johnson, Transportation Planning Engineer for the Hennepin County Department of Transportation, in his letter of February 12, 1998, approved the proposed curb cut location to Tonkawa Road (County Road 135). The Orono Park Commission has recommended that no additional right-of-way or trail easements are required from this developer since any future trail needs can be accommodated within the existing right of way. The City intends that no hardcover variances will be granted for development of homes on Lots 1, 2 and 3. Page 3 of 7
