CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - August 15, 1979 B. CONSENT CALENDAR: (Continued) 4. b) Resolution # accepting certain improvements and accepting offers of dedication, LANDS OF KOO, FFile Tract #5672. (Continued) Mr. MuhlfelM.8 . Attorney for Residents, stated further that the current pathway location he easem was not in tent as delineated on the Tract Map. Mr. Rilev, Applthicant'ses Engineer, responded to Staff questioning that portions of this path were outside e eament due to proximity of the creek, steep terrain and safety factors inherent in the two. Councilmembers and Staff then discussed the easement versus actual pathway placement, the historical use of this path area, the safety hazards of its current location and, possibly, the need to obtain a wider easement along the creek to resolve these issues. Councilman Perkins also advised of erosion problems along this portion of the path as well as the need for a gate at the Country Way end of the road which was illegally being used by motorcyclists and off-road vehicles. Mr. Rilev, Applicant's Engineer, suggested that the Town obtain bonded agreements from subdividers at each end of this road to provide for some type of barricade installation. The City Attorney then stated that the resolution before Council did two things: (1) Accepted improvements; and, (2) Accepted easement dedications. He advised that these two matters could be handled together (as the resolution before them) or separately, which he could prepare the appropriate resolution to resolve. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilwoman Hillestad, seconded by Councilman Perkins and carried unanimously by all members present to continue this Item until the next regular meeting (September 5, 1979) in order that all parties might work out an equitable solution or, if necessary, to consider an alternative resolution to be prepared `, by the City Attorney. C. SPECIAL REPORTS: 1. Reports of Standing Committees: None 2. Reports of Ad Hoc Committees: None 3. Reports from the Planning Commission: a) Draft Policy Statement regarding Landscaping and Administrative Report from Planning Intern.
