Mr. Melena reviewed his memo dated January 5, 1994, concerning payment
for the central youth athletic complex land located south of 140th
Street and east of the Central Maintenance Facility. He also reviewed

COMPLR~. SITE
surrounding property subject to future park and ponding dedication requirements
which would generate $699,541 toward payment for the land. The Council received
a s,,mmary of current development projects showing park dedication projected cash
flow of $393,720.02.
Councilmember Sterling asked about maintaining a $500,000 minimumbalance in the
park dedication fund? Mr. Melena said the balance and policy on expenditures
were established by Council resolution and are subject to modification by the
Council.
MOTION:
of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, adopting a resolution
establishing a Central Athletic Complex Escrow Fund
consisting of transfers of $220,459 from the General Fund,
$220,000 from the Park Dedication Fund, and $669,541 from
the CIP Development Fund; with the CIP Developmen~ Fund
repaid by future park and pond dedication; and authorizing
the City Administrator and Finance Director to expend such
funds for purchase of the property.
ATHLETIC
COMPLEX
ESCROW FUND
Councilmember Humphrey expressed reservations about some sources of the proposed
funding. Since cash has been accepted in lleu of park land, it should be used
for purchase of land. A new park maintenance fund, of $250,000, could be
established and the existing park dedication fund used for land purchases.
Councilmember Goodwin said he would like to buy the land, but is concerned about
ongoing improvements. A park maintenance fund would allow for that.
Councilmember Erickson asked whether there will be adequate parks for the
surrounding new development if cash is accepted instead of land. Mr. Melena
reviewed a map of the area showing the proximity of existing parks and the
proposed athletic complex. (Mayor Branning attended during this time.)
MOTION:
of Humphrey, seconded by Goodwin, substituting and adopting
Resolution No. 1994-15 establishing a Central Athletic
Complex Escrow Fund consisting of a transfer of $440,459
from the ParkDedication Fund and $669,541 from the CIP
Development Fund; with the CIP Development Fund repaid by
future park and pond dedication; and authorizing the City
Administrator and Finance Director to expend such funds for
purchase of the property.

and tree removal on the Williams Brothers Pipeline easement between EASEMENT
County Road 38 and 137th Street. Mr. Johnson said some trees will be
removed in Faith and Findlay Parks. Mayor Branning asked if homeowners, whose
property will be affected, have been notified?
Andrew Nimick, of Williams Brothers, was present and said he understood, aside
from the Zoo property, the work would be primarily in the parks. If residential
property is involved they will be contacted. He explained'that Williams is
regulated by the Federal Department of Transportation and they are required to do
surface inspections of pipeline easements. To do that, rights-of-way have to be
cleared. It is their practice to have communication with landowners when
clearing is going to be done.
Mr. Melena introduced Mary Calvin who was elected Fire Chief by the
Fire Department membership on January 9, 1994. He Joined the Fire
Department in 1986, after moving to Apple Valley, and was District

Mr. Gordon reviewed the preliminary engineering report on installation of two
water mains. He noted that it is not proposed to specially assess benefitted
property for the improvements at this time, but when the property develops.
Andrew Nimick, of William Brothers Pipeline, was present and said they want to be
sure their property benefits if it is going to be assessed. Mr. Gordon said the
trunk water assessment is a per acre rate, adjusted annually. He noted that

Mr. Kelley reviewed the Planning Commission report on the Centex/
Fischer residential development proposed for the area north of 140th
Street between Fountain Court and Findlay Avenue tabled from December
29, 1993.
Dan Blake, of Centex Homes, was present to describe the proposal. They are
paying for a pathway connection in the park and sidewalk on Flint Lane and he
asked that the policy not be changed for this development. He commented on
reasons for the cul de sacs. They prefer the connection to future Ferris Avenue
at the 138th Street location, but it could be moved south if desired.
MOTION:
of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, adopting Resolution No.
1994-17 approving the preliminary plat of the Centex/Fischer
development, as presented, with a pathway through the park
and sidewalk on the south side of Flint Lane/137th Street,
and directing preparation of a subdivision agreement with
conditions listed in the draft resolution.

Gouncilmember Sterling agreed the sidewalk policy should not be changed in the
middle of a development, but believes the interior looped street will be a major
pedestrian way. A path in the park will not benefit residents of this
development. Councilmember Erickson concurred with the need for sidewalk on one
side of the street and should be a trade-off for cul de sacs.
The Council discussed traffic volumes on collector streets, where sidewalks are
required. It would have up to 6,000 trips per day. Traffic on these streets is
not projected to exceed 1,000 trips per day.
Mayor Branning said if the Council wants sidewalk on the street, it should be
made a collector street. Otherwise, access should be provided to get people east
so they can cross 140th Street at the future signalized intersection on Ferris.

owner is requesting removal of the "hotel first" condition on motor
