Community Development Director Teague presented the Final Plat, noting it was consistent with the
approved Preliminary Plat, and Tree and Slope Preservation Easement for 6609 Blackfoot Pass. He
indicated the applicant had agreed to revisions as recommended by Attorney Knutson concluding that
staff recommended approval.
The Council discussed whether to prohibit a sport court, lighting, and amplified music within the easement
due to the close proximity of 6705 Cheyenne Trail. Attorney Knutson answered questions of the Council
relating to what the easement language prohibited and what it allowed. The Council determined the
language of Exhibit A was adequate to prevent the construction of a sport court along the south edge but
would not address prohibition of lighting. Member Brindle introduced and moved adoption of Resolution
No.2013-114,Approving a Final Plat at 6609 Blackfoot Pass,subject to the following conditions:

buckthorn.
2. Park dedication fee of$5,000 must be paid prior to release of the final plat.
