Developer asks to extend Barney Lane; council asks for engineering and water study
Summary
Jennifer Chester of Crown Realty asked the council about extending Barney Lane to access property north of the Community Center. Council consensus was that the property owner must hire an engineer and commission a water study because existing stormwater issues could be worsened by an extension.
Jennifer Chester, representing Crown Realty, appeared in the packet to request extending Barney Lane across Elm Street to provide access to property north of the Community Center and Barney Lane. The packet warns that Barney Lane has existing stormwater issues and that improvements could increase those problems.
Council members expressed concern about stormwater impacts and told Ms. Chester the city would not consider the extension without a client-funded engineering study and a water-study evaluation. The June 10 minutes included in the packet record a similar exchange and note that Ms. Chester left the earlier meeting at 6:40 p.m.
City staff recorded that an engineer would be required and that any proposed improvements would need to address the existing water issues before council would take further action. No formal action or approval for a road extension appears in the July 8 packet.
