actions possible under Subdivision Ordinance and possibility of requiring dedi- cation of ingress and egress easement on which City could control parking or force removal of obstacles. He advised no improvement agreement under considera- tion at this point as no Final Map yet submitted, but which could contain con- trols thought necessary. Councilman Granger expressed his concern for access proposed and questioned why property owner didn't make a proper street as felt plan submitted would never qualify for any sort of financing for its development. Stan Kangas, of Lawrence Brian's firm, representing appli- cant, explained number of different schemes that had been attempted for subdividing property both with a dedicated street and even a cul-de-sac, and that proposal now made resulted from a compromise with City Staff, as original plan had only included the one 25' strip for access to rear parcel. He stated applicant didn't wish to make a public street dedica- tion, but was willing to make a public emergency easement so parking and other uses would be prohibited. Police Chief advised it would not be possible to enforce parking restrictions on a private easement. Councilman Rosselli felt consideration for granting of exception should be given in this particular case because of applicant having been urged to annex and felt controls had been indicated which would assure City protection, and which would result in this development being a stepping stone towards better development of the whole area. City Attorney advised of the further conditions that could be added to the Reso- lution granting the exception. Councilman Henderson favored deferring action on this matter as best serving all interests, to have Planning Commission realign the lots. Councilman Petersen questioned possibility of consolidating the two easements, making possible a single wider access to rear parcel, and agreed to continuance if this suggestion would be considered. Mr. Kangas advised he would have to consult with the property owner on this proposal. The possibility of dedicating the access strip as a public alley was discussed. Councilman Rosselli felt this matter had been worked out with Staff and best solution had been recommended by Staff and should be approved, if further controls as had been suggested be added. City Manager recommended that City not request dedication of easement as a public alley which would require maintenance by City, but that other controls be worked out agreeable to the City Attorney which would protect access, for emergency purposes. Councilman Bury asked whether motion to grant exception also included requirement for clearing site and Councilman Rosselli asked this be included in his motion to grant the exception. Councilman Henderson moved to table this matter. Motion lost for lack of a second. Mr. Kangas questioned proposal recommended concerning clearing of site and assured Council of intentions of property owner to clear property as soon as possible, but admitted reluctance to be limited to a definite date as buildings referred to now on site did produce income and helped pay the taxes on the property. 0 1 IT 49
