give up the land and set a precedent for outlots and other sub- divisions being relinquished over a maintenance issue; two, the City Council should explore other options such as License Agreements which convey opportunities for use and enjoyment. Dave Rhodes, Coal Creek Associates, 1400-28th Street, Boulder, CO. Rhodes: Last summer when we began to organize to get this area into its native seed as per the PUD, we were approached by several of the owners who had requested that it be a higher level of landscaping than the PUD called for. The Parks Department didn't feel they could afford the time and effort to maintain an irrigated sodded area. We tried to reach a compromise, where the home owners would be deeded back a portion of the outlot and they would maintain the it. We are here at the request of the home owners with the replat, trying to accomplish that. The replat represents a six foot public area that will go through the outlot. The remaining area is going to private ownership of the adjacent home owners on a continuation of their lot line. The entire existing outlot would remain as a drainage and utility easement for the City to be able to get in there. There are several areas within Coal Creek now, where we do have storm sewer lines going through private lots. The plan is for a decorative not an obstructive type of landscaping. Deed restrictions could be placed on the lots for fencing and landscape replacement. Davidson called for Council comments or questions. Mayer: I am concerned that this is public land. I would prefer that Council examine other avenues of meeting the home owners' needs. I feel it would be unwise for the City to give up land unless someone is interested in buying it or Coal Creek would want to do a land trade. 10
