With regard to this, it was noted that there should be an explanation <br />of the types of paths and this could be included in the standards. <br />Casey referred to the section on the Implementation of the Path System and the <br />contribution by property owners at time of development of right of way and/or <br />construction of paths or payment of path in lieu fees. Casey wanted to know what <br />created the nexus in these situations. She strongly believed that in part due to <br />recent court decisions there had to be a very clear correlation between a project and <br />the path land and/or money for paths being required. It was agreed that this issue of <br />nexus would be addressed by the Planning Commission during their review of the <br />draft Pathway Element. <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Hubbard, seconded by Johnson <br />and passed unanimously to send the draft pathway element to the Planning <br />Commission for review and recommendation and at the same time to send it to the <br />Pathway Committee with the request that they send their comments on the draft to <br />the Planning Commission for review. <br />7.
