The condition as it now read left the determination of whether this should be a type IIB path or a native path to the Engineering Staff and the Pathways Committee. The City Engineer noted however that he believed it would be tight getting a type IIB path in and recommended a native path. Cheryl Breetwor, applicant, stated that she supported the pathway system but thought it should make some sense. She did not believe the path should be in the middle of the property nor through the front yard. She concurred with the native path recommendation. Dick Holm, applicant's architect, commented on the ditch and the placement of the path. He also noted that a native path could be larger than a type IIB path. Katy Stella, member - Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, explained the committee's recommendation for a type IIB path. They believed that paths should be separate from the road and since this was a multi -use path, it should go on the other side of the ditch. Horses prefer to be off the street. Although type IIB paths were not on all properties, they believed it was important to obtain them along the way. Dauber stated for the record that this lot was given special consideration when this subdivision was approved. It is an acre lot with a long, narrow piece but the subdivision ordinance requires a lot to contain a full acre within a 350' building circle. She further commented on the pathway request and supported a type IIB path on the opposite side of the drainage swale. This was a major route to St. Nicholas School and it should be as safe as possible. Hubbard, Johnson and Siegel believed the type IIB path to be intrusive and supported a native path. Dauber suggested this was precedent setting to state that a path 35' from the house was intrusive.
