Title

SECOND READING

CONVEYING OUTLOTS B, G AND D OF THE LAKES OF RADISSON TWENTIETH ADDITION TO THE LAKES OF RADISSION MASTER ASSOCIATION AND RETAINING A PERMANENT TRAILWAY AND UTILITY EASEMENT

Background

Last year the City Council received a request to allow a dock to be placed on City property that abuts Sunrise Lake in the Crown Colony addition of the Lakes development.  Staff presented several options for the Council to review and consider, one of those options was to transfer the Crown Colony trail corridor back to the abutting property owners. 

The City Council forwarded the issue to the Park Commission for their review and recommendation.  At the Park Commission meeting the Lakes of Radisson Master Association showed interest in having the trail corridor transferred to them so they can better control their Lakes Development.  The Park Commission did recommend to the City Council that the City transfer the Crown Colony trail corridor to the Master Association and retain an easement for the existing bike/pedestrian trail (see attached map).

Below is the first reading of the ordinance which transfers the Crown Colony trail corridor to the Lakes of Radisson Master Association and retains a permanent trailway and utility easement for the existing trail.

Recommendation

By motion, adopt Ordinance No. 16-2357.
