<br />sewer line from Frederick Boulevard down Elliott Avenue at such time as the option is
<br />exercised for the townhouses. Estimated costs to the City are approximately $40,000.
<br />We would not participate in costs of any pumping station or lift station which would
<br />provide sewage to the site.
<br />
<br />6. The existing ballfield as designated as Parcel B on the attached map would remain.
<br />
<br /> Since negotiations are complete and staff and developer agree on all points, the
<br />question now for Council is, what is the best public benefit for this property -- development
<br />of the parcels as proposed or public recreation as recommended in the open space study?
<br />
<br /> Because of the length of t~me ~n negotiations, City Council may consider authorizing me
<br />to ~ign a development agreement containzng the conditions I have previously mentioned.
<br />Such an agreement would represent a comprommse between the wishes of the Bishop to fully
<br />develop all parcels and the recommendation contained in the open space study to leave all the
<br />parcels o~ recreation."
