RE: Second Replat for St. Ann's Catholic Church
Dear Mr. Sieb:
Please accept this letter as our formal request for the elimination of the 20 foot hike and
bike easement along Sandy Lake Road. The plat introduced at the Planning and Zoning
Commission public heating of January 16, 1997 contains the referenced easement per
earlier recommendations of the Parks and Leisure Department.
However, 'after further consideration, it appears them may be mom advantages to the
trail location on the South side of Sandy Lake Road. As support for this request, we
offer the following:
a)
The existing hike and bike easements along the North side of Sandy Lake
Road appear to be non-contiguous. Also existing improvements appear to
limit a continuous pathway.
b)
Because of the proposed offset on the Sandy Lake it is our understanding a
wider right-of-way easement will be available on the South side of Sandy
Lake Road.
c) It is also our understanding current plans call for a wider than standard
sidewalk along the South portion of Sandy Lake Road.
d) Because of the above items, it is believed the South side of Sandy Lake
Road would be a more conducive trail development.
Your consideration of this request is sincerely appreciated. Should you have any
questions or require further information, please call me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
ALLIANC~ARCHITECTS,
