MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY 2G, 2004 <br />Pat Conway, Burke Lane, noted the discussion for a trail connection <br />utilizing Nadeau Road right-of--way. Conway indicated that this walkway <br />would be on the side of her property. Conway stated her objection to the <br />walkway improvement and informed the Council that the property owners <br />on Burke Lane do not want it. <br />Fahey pointed out the difficulty of balancing community needs with <br />individual needs. Fahey felt that the trail connection would serve the <br />greater good. <br />Conway noted that the neighborhood request had been for a playground <br />area and not a walkway connection. Fahey noted that the Park <br />Commission has evaluated the issue and their recommendation is in <br />support of the trail connection. <br />Elaine Zoch, Condit Street, pointed out that right-of--way for Condit Street <br />came from her side of the street. She suggested that the additional Condit <br />Street right-of--way needed south of Yorkton Ridge come from the east <br />side of the street rather than the west. Zoch also suggested that some of <br />the right-of=way needed for Nadeau Road come from the property to the <br />south. <br />Fahey pointed out that where the Condit Street right-of--way is taken is a <br />question of street alignment. Fahey also noted that it appears the existing <br />30 feet of Nadeau Road right-of--way already came from the property to <br />the south of the Miller property. <br />Zoch suggested that the Nadeau Road pavement be pushed further south <br />within the right-ofway when it is improved, thus placing the street further <br />from the Miller house. <br />Blesener indicated that it may be possible to offset the pavement to some <br />degree, but not for the entire distance. <br />David Sybert, Burke Lane, agreed with the comments made by Pat <br />Conway indicating that the Burke Lane neighborhood is not interested in a <br />trail connection to the Water Works property. <br />The City Administrator indicated that the Parks & Recreation Commission <br />has looked at this option and has recommended that the City Engineer <br />explore the various trail connection options and report back to the <br />Commission. A final decision has not been made on the matter. The City <br />Administrator suggested that the Park Commission will be holding a <br />neighborhood meeting on the issue at the time the City Engineer has <br />completed his report. <br />7 <br />
