CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - March I, 1978 E. SPECIAL ORDERS: (Continued) 40 I. Hills Little League request (Continued) setting a precedent for other special Interest groups. The need to provide a safe recreation area in the Town for baseball and, perhaps, soccer was agreed upon by all Councilmembers with the designation of Councilwoman Hlllestad and Councilman McReynolds to meet with the Little League members and work out specific details. 2. Public Hearings: a) Request for Tentative Map Approval, LANDS OF COUNTRY WAY SUBDIVISION, File TM #2041-76 (formerly LANDS OF BAHL). The City Manager outlined the revised map, new configurations and deletion of two lots, as requested by the Council approximately one year ago. Staff recommendation was to return the subject request to the Planning Commission for their review with Councilman Cheney objecting to the logic of this extra step in the process. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman McReynolds, seconded by Councilwoman Hillestad and passed unanimously to send LANDS OF COUNTRY WAY SUBDIVISION, File TM #2041-76 back to the Planning Commission for their consideration. Councilman Proft requested the Planning Commission reference Council Minutes of January 19, 1977 and April 6, 1977, and talk with Mr. Stutz about pathway requirements in their consideration of the above. b) Request for Tentative Map Approval, LANDS OF BLEDSOE, File TM #2070-77. The Engineer/Planner introduced an unrecorded pathway easement problem that existed on this proposed five lot subdivision. The hearing was then opened to the public. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman McReynolds, seconded by Councilman Cheneyand carried unanimously to adopt a Negative Declaration for LANDS OF BLEDSOE, File TM #2070-77. Mr. Bledsoe, Applicant, told how he had dedicated the pathway easement In question to the Town several years ago, planted trees along it and the well travelled use thereon. The most recent survey had revealed a previous land ownership error. Mrs Struthers Vice Chairwoman/Pathway Committee, expressed hope that the prescrip- tive use of this pathway could continue and, only if not, did the Committee desire a new easement be granted. Follow Ing considerable discussion on the legal implications of the use of this path, consensus of Council was that this subject was not germane to review of the Tentative Map application and, as such, should be handled separately by Staff and City Attorney. Questions followed on the Intent of Condition 2 and well hazards as covered by Condi- tion 8 with Mayor Brown urging Staff to state, in the future, well sizes and struc- tural safety problems, thus enabling full review of these matters. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Then moved by Councilman Cheney, seconded by Council- woman Hillestad and passed unanimously to add the following sentence to Condition 8: If the wells are to be used, they are to be used only for agricultural purposes. The Ctty Engineer, IR response to Councilman Proft's question, outlined the instal- lation of underground drainage system in lieu of Condition 14. Discussion followed ( on funding with subdivision drainage fees, pedestrian dangers caused by the ditch, an Oak tree Impeding the channel and Increased flow which may result as subdivisions In the area are built. Consensus was to leave Condition 14 as it was and, should it later seem necessary, consider undergrounding the drainage at 8 subsequent improve- ment project done by the Town, utilizing fees on deposit. -3-
