It is missing the connection up to La Loma Drive! Please add this to the packet and to the conditions of development. The minutes from February show: ' A. 28008 Laura Court (Lands of Nashashbibi;APN 336-34-009 and 336-34-012;#42-16-ZP-SD-GD). Reason for pathway review is construction of a new residence.The property is on the south side of Laura Court (a public road) at the end of the paved road. The Council-approved 2005 Master Path Plan (MPP) shows an off-road pathway along the eastern and southern borders of 28008 Laura Ct.that will provide important connectivity to La Loma Drive.This end of La Loma is isolated and has no other off-road paths. A dirt road continues northwest past the end of Laura Court along the border of 28008 on what was formerly a road dedication. In 1998 this road easement apparently was abandoned and a formal pathway easement established in its place, but it does not extend beyond the parcel adjacent to 28008 Laura Ct.. A route connecting to La Loma via this more northerly route was removed from the MPP and would require many more private easements than the route through 28008 Laura Court. PWC reviewed this parcel when it was under development by the same owners in Aug 2014 with a recommendation to require a 10-foot wide pathway easement and path along the southern and through the parcel to connect Laura Court to 25400 La Loma Drive. Planning Department conditions of development in Feb 2010(Attachment A) required dedication of a 10-ft wide pathway easement along the east and south property line and construction of a IIB path along the east property line and a native path along the south property line.The developer was required to work with Town Engineer to lay out the path alignment and construction detail. Forrest Linebarger was present representing the developer. He reported that the developer wanted a path only along the dirt road on the north property line. Nat Gorham, a neighbor, also favored only a path along the dirt road and not the off-road route shown on the MPP. PWC discussed options at length, including the importance of this connecting off-road route, parcel terrain, potential impact on neighboring downhill property(and mitigation with landscaping),whether 10/6/2016 Page 2 of 2 • to require pathway construction at this time, and PWC responsibility to uphold the Council-approved off-road Master Path Plan by requiring the necessary easements on parcels at the time of site development.AD moved that PWC 1) ask staff to reconfirm that the pathway easement exists along - the road on the northern border(i.e.,the dirt road off the end of Laura Court); and 2) recommend the Town require the owners of 28008 Laura Court to dedicate a 10-ft wide pathway easement along the east and south property lines above the water tank and build a native path within the easement.SW seconded and the vote was 7 in favor (1B,AB, AD, ND, EG, BK, SW); 3 opposed (WC, BM, DW) and 1 abstain (VH). 10/6/2016
