ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (#5) Wins TED AND MYRNA WOLF, 900 WILLOW DRIVE NORTH - CLASS II FINAL SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION NO. 4017 The applicant was represented by Mike Hilbelink. Dressier reported that the applicant proposes the division of the parcel into two lots, front and back, with access to the back lot provided via an outlot. The developer has met the requirements for final plat approval as stated in the approved resolution for preliminary plat approval. A concern relates to a bike trail along the east side of Willow Drive in the Shadowood Subdivision to the north. An agreement was made in 1990 for a trail within the 10’ utility easement abutting Willow Drive and Sixth Avenue North of that subdivision. Dressier noted that the park dedication fee has been paid. Jabbour noted that the resolution does not reflect a trail. Flint said the issue was being raised whether consideration should be given to continuing the trail on the Wolf property. Barrett was informed by Dressier that the utility easement is in place on the Wolf property but an agreement would be required for the bike trail. Jabbour asked if the owner would be asked to construct the bike path within the utility easement. He was informed by Dressier that this would be the case. Mike Hilbelink said this was the first occasion where he has heard of this issue. He indicated the property owner was out of town. He questioned whether the City has compensated for such trails in the past. Flint informed him that in some cases that has occurred but in others, it has not, such as Shadowood, where many concessions were made.
