opposed to the typically required dedicated right-of-way. Staff recommended
denial of this request for reasons that the dedication of right-of-way
for future access is on a plat removes future encumbrances on the City's
ability to improve such access at an appropriate time, and that the City
should not imply conditions for the future development of properties
outside of an area proposed for platting.
A letter was received from Cheryl and Walt Hobbs expressing issues that
will have to be resolved, between himself and the owners of Carver Beach
Estates, prior to Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs signing the plat. Mr. Hess,
representing the developer, stated there is no difficulty with what Mr.
Hobbs is requesting. Final plat approval is needed so that final design
of the road can be completed to know what the road grade will be at Mr.
Hobbs· property so they can tell him how much filling will be done, how
much landscaping will be done, how much restoration there will be, and
what grade his driveway will be.
Councilwoman Swenson expressed concern that the location of Outlot A
would not serve both the Troendle and Owens properties to the north.
Mr. Hess ~xplained that Outlot A does serve the Owens property. The
developer has an agreement with Mr. Troendle to provide access through
a lot in the plat.
Councilman Neveaux moved to table action until staff has a report to
the Council addressing the concerns expressed by the Council in regard
