PCT i T l ONS , REQUESTS AIND COMMUNICATIONS Manager Willis reviewed the request of the Cimarron Ponds Homeowners Association for Council reconsideration of the trail configi-ration required by the original development contract (RP;IC 76-3). Manager Willis indicated he ha.! talked to the Department of Natura 1 ResourceT representatives to determine their plans for the Luce Line trail in this Area. Hr i tw i sated that residents in the Cimarron Ponds area were concerned abo,it proposed alignments `or trails and indicated CIMARRON I tent 7-A further that such alignmeo is were not firmly established because no develop.ent plan has been received by the City from the developer. Butch Jackman, 9d4 Xenium Lane, conmenteo that ht had been advised tra de eellon of any pathways :,pproved in the original development contract would not require Council approval. A map was distributed to Councilmembers showing five trails already conistructed. He further indicated the directors of the Homeowners Association had met earlier this year and voted 5 to 2 to delete five additional trails to be constructed under the provisions of the original development contract. 162- PONDS TRAILS Regular Council Meeting June 18, 1979 Page 163 Mayor Hunt explained that deny revisions in the trail plan as required by the development contract world have to be approved by the City Council. Bob Randall, 1255 Arcner lane, commented about the trail running along tF west"baundary of the de wPlopment. As spokesman for the Homeowners Association, he asked that the Council consider; 1) designating the trail as a natural walking trail as opposed to a fully -completed eight foot bituminous trail; 2) upgrading existing natural paths rather than designating nrw trails; 3) installing a rustic walkway across the existing marsh rather than disturbing the marsh area. Mayor Hunt explained how, the City trail system was des? ,led and designations contained in the trail system. Manugev Wi?lis ex- plained that tr trail would not be intended fnr• mini -bikes or snowmobiles but rather jogqers, walkers, cross country skiers and bicyclists. Homeuwrer Associ;ition representatives asked about the po9.sibility of having trail Con-trol patrols. Mayor Hunt commented that the problem was not of sufficient magnitude to justify the payment of taxpayers' dollars for this purpose. Councilmember Neils indi- cated that previois er.perience with natural trails shows that they simply do not ImA and that the reason for the eight foot asphalt trail is to ailow for concurrent use of the trailways by bikers and pedei-,trians with safety. :ouncilmeinber Hoyt indecated the park survey shcowl; the trail system is the most used recreation.1 facility -in the City and, therefore, has a very high priority o the Council. MOTION was made by Counci lmrember Spaeth, seconded by Council - member N,eily,, to maintain the original City plan for construction of the trail on the westerly boder of Cimarron Fonds, K)tion carri,ad, five ayes.

He explaiied the original action on this developm nt was deferved because cl the lack of sewer and water in this area. Because of the City's interest: in obtaining right-of-way for Courty 'load 61 improvenvots, it would be possible to finalize the final plat and development contract provided the developer is willing to: 1) approve the final plat and secure the right-of-w-iy required for Coun'-y Road G1 independent of the schedule in which the sewer and wate: interceptors would be constructed; 2) request a record letter fircm all parties acknowledging the uncertainty of the schedule for installation of the interceptor. relieving they City of any exposure for definite deloys in this const•euction; ) approve the final plat/development contract with the agreement the plat will be filed or grading permits issued until contracts have been adarded for, the interceptor. Jerry Heuer, McCombs -Knutson, stated it was his understanding that thi• deferral w.is basically due to the sewer disposal system. He stated that, if necessary, the developer would be willing to put in a lift -station and ailow access out of the development by providing right-of-way in Lot 4, Block 1 of the plat. Coinci'm 4nber Spaeth asked that if the developer install the force main whether they would be willing to pay for daily maintenance. ohn Karos, petitioner, indicated that he understood the lift station would require continuous maintenance and would be willing to consider seriously the possibility of proviuing regu.ar main- tenance ai long as necessary. His concern is primarily that the Council' provide a guarantee the interceptor will someds,y be installed. Mayor Hunt asked the staff whether or not the installatiots of a force main would cause a p-oblem in the sewer systuw capacity. Enyiaeer ftoore indicated t -%ere would be no problem in capacity. Mr. Moores did express a cnnrern about establishing a precedent of approving developments wti,,bh would increase flows into other sanitary sewer districts due to the lack of interceptors in place. WT ION was made by Councilmember Spaeth, seconded by Coancilmember Neils, to direct staff to come back with the road alignment, as referred to by Councilinember Neils, together with proposals and ailreements defining the installation of the costs and maintenance responsibilities for the lilt station, also providing a letter of aveement that the developer will proceed at his own expense and hold the City harmless in the event the interceptor projw .innot be undertaken as presently comtemplated, and addressing the question whether 120 or 100 foot right-of-way is required for County Road 61 construction.
