He asked Ms. Mabusth to present her suggestion for location of the access. Mabusth believed that placing the access on the crest of the hill would have a serious impact on her residence, due to the higher elevations on the western side. The City Engineer and City Staff had evaluated the potential of placing the access in amore southerly location. A determination was made that there would be adequate sighting distance in that location. Mabusth further explained that the hill became very icy and treacherous in the winter and placing the access at the crest of the hill would worsen that condition. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember Callahan, to direct staff to prepare a resolution granting the subdivision, together with a conditional use permit for a PRD, for action at the December 12, 1988, Council Meeting. He asked that appropriate language be included in the resolution that would allow an alternative access to the property for construction purposes. If no alternative is feasible, then it should be stipulated that the developer be financially responsible for repairs to North Brown Road for damage caused by the construction. The resolution must also include provisions for a buffer area along the north property line. Further, language be included to move the access south, if it does not • conflict with engineering recommendations.
