2. Motion approving tentative subdivision map of Edgerton Cooley (396-72) 10 lots, 20.54 gross acres located on Edgerton Road as recommended by the %W Planning Commission on February 28, 1973. Councilman Miller questioned the lack of provision for horse paths in the internal subdivision. Speaking from the floor: Mr. Robert Stutz, Chairman of the Pathway Committee, stated that the Pathway Committee's feeling on this matter is that paths should be open to all uses. Mr. James Muncie spoke in favor of making paths available to horsemen within the subdivision. Mr. John Riley, Engineer for the Edgerton Cooley subdivision, stated that the subdivision had 23s acres of horse paths and scenic easements which were thought to be sufficient. Commissioner Spencerspoke of the fault running through the subdivision and of the major improvements made in the subdivision as suggested by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission's feeling on the matter is that the horse trails running the perimeter of the subdivision are adequate. Discussion followed regarding the possible ramifications to potential buyers of property within the subdivision with reference to the fault. A study of the activity or inactivity of the fault would take a great deal of time and oar there is not much that can be done in the way of informing prospective buyers as to the existence of this fault. Speaking from the floor: Mr. David Jansson Mr. Robert Stutz stated the contention of the Path- way Committee that the paths in the subdivision were adequate. lkw Councilman Davey complimented Mr. Cooley and his Engineer on contributing 50' wide easements to the subdivision for horse paths and on their nearly perfect subdivision. She stated, however, that the check list should be amended to require multi-purpose use of internal routes so that cyclists, pedestrians, horses, etc. might avail themselves of the paths within the subdivision. She stated that the no horse domicile limitation was unfortunate and should be taken up in another arena. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Davey moved, seconded by Councilman Grabowski and carried unanimously with Councilman Kubby absent that the sub- division be approved with the inclusion of multi-purpose paths pursuant to the recommendation of the Pathway Committee. Speaking from the floor: Mrs. Diane Strobele spoke to the need for more ade- quate pathways in a "horse town". Mr. A.M. Laws -2-
