2. The development contract include provisions that would enable the city to activate
its trail system through the Near Mountain property at any time.
Council members discussed the street access to Pleasant View Road as outlined in
the City Engineer's letter of April 21, 1981. The reason for the proposed design
of the intersection (difficulty to turn west onto Pleasant View Road) is a result of
neighborhood objections to additional traffic on Pleasant View Road.
Phasing of the project was discussed. The Engineer recommended Phases 1 and II be
combined to complete a circle road for snowplowing. Peter Pflaum suggested that a
temporary cul-de-sac could be built to solve the snowplowing problem until additional
phases are completed. Council members expressed concern with the necessity for a
second access, through phases 6, 7 or 8, into the property.
Acting Mayor Neveaux requested verification from staff that Section 15.05, subsection 5,
A., B., and C have been completed.

Commission Exhibit A dated April 22, 1981, Preliminary Plat of Single Family Lots
prepared by Schoell and Madson showing 134 single family lots) subject to the
specified modifications and conditions in the staff recommendations of 1-11 of
November 30, 1979, and as modified on December 3, 1979, and direct the City Attorney

Council members generally felt this was satisfactory but would like to see a more
detailed plan of that area.
