Ho%,ard wondered if there was a concern by Parks & Recreation or Public Works over the proposed closeness of the bike path to the ditch. Steve Baysinger, Parks & Recreation Director, stated that there are other parks where the bike path passes close to a ditch. Howard wondered if there was a concern by staff about the narrowness of the cul-de-sac and the street width. Tom Phare, Director of Public Works, stated that they do not support any streets with less than the 36' standards. They also support a 43' radius on cul-de-sacs, which accommodates the Fire Department and snowplow equipment. Leach stated that it is a lateral ditch that would carry 3 c.f.s. an~[ be about 2' deep. Mayer wondered where the full open space dedication that Council requested was. Leach: It doesn't make sense to have a public park in that location. We tried to design this piece of open space, so'! it functions for the neighborhood. We are not required on the parcel to the north, the original Wigget parcel, to provide any park land. At the time that land was annexed, it was annexed under the terms that it was to be cash-in-lieu, because at that time the City had a philosophy that on small pieces like this they didn't want park land. Mayer: The reason I wanted to get clear about the property to the north, when that land makes its public land dedication, if it's developed or if the City procures it for open space, you would actually have contiguity between the two parcels. Therefore, open space dedication here would make eminent sense. Susan (Griffiths), was it specified in the Agreement that the City would not take any public land dedication? Susan Griffiths, Agreement. City Attorney, had not seen the Annexation
