b.Maintenance and Enforcement Issues
i.Blocked paths

an easement (10 feet between the two). Homeowner will build the
path and will bring plans and work with town staff.
2.Stegner to Country Way Code enforcement is working on this
one now. We should have an update soon.
ii.Update on Buena Vista to Central Dr. Connection Finally received the lot
line adjustments. Path Easements do not match were that actual path is.
This should be rectified soon.
c.GIS Map Update This project is moving forward and will hopefully be finished at
the end of November. This will include the easements, the MPP and add the
completed segments.
d.Remaining PW Segments to be Resolved on MPP Update see above in town
updates.
6.New Business
a.Property Review
i.11545 Crestridge Dr (Lands of Srinivasan, New Residence, File
SD190027) There is an equestrian easement on the back lot line. There
is a Public Utility Easement that currently has a native path. Crestridge
Drive is not on the MPP. there are 7 properties on Crestridge. The current
easement is a PUE and equestrian easement and does not allow public
use. AD moves that we request for public access along this existing PUE
easement where the current neighborhood path exists and pay a
pathway fee. (AD, ND, BE, RP, SW, MD, BM, JN vote for and AB votes
no.)
ii.14146 Amherst Ct (Lands of Shakir, Addition and new ADU, File
SD190024) Neighbor property (14172 Amherst) PWC asked for a
pathway fee in April 2017. Amherst is not on the MPP. Two neighboring
properties were asked to pay the inlieu fee in recent years. ND moves
that we ask the homeowner to pay a pathway fee. SW seconded.
Approved unanimously. (AD, AB, ND, BM, SW, MD, BE, JN, RP)
7.Presentations from the Floor
a.Eileen mentioned that code enforcement is needed at the corner of conception to
Fremont, as native path has been obscured with chips and landscaping needs to
be trimmed.
b.Jim Washura asks that we look into homeowners having to pay a fee and give an
easement.
8.Old Business
a.PWC Review of Environmental Design Committee proposal for fence setbacks
for wildlife circulation. There was some discussion that this is not related to PWC
activities and was just informational to know what other committees are doing.

b.Pathway Fee Update Nicole explained that the staff proposed implementing a
development impact fee instead of the current the inlieu fee. TC gave staff
approval to go forward with researching how to change to the Development
Impact Fee. Staff is working on municipal code changes, cost of fees, triggers,
etc. Every property that goes through development pays the fee and easements
can be required. Homeowners will not be asked to install pathways. Subdivisions
will be asked for paths during the subdivision process as they are now and will be
installed by the developer.
9.Open Discussion AB asks members to start working on new CIP projects
10.Reports from Other Meetings
a.VTA Meeting Susan believes call for proposals from TC is happening soon and

Susan, AD, BE, and AB have offered to help if needed. Nicole is going to look
into what is needed and let Alisa know by the end of the week.
