MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 12, 2003 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. Ayes (3) Blesener, Montour, LaValle. Nays (0). Abstains (1) Anderson. Resolution declared adopted. VACATION LaValle opened the public hearing to consider the vacation of a OT PORTION portion of Nadeau Road lying between Burke Lane ar the west OT NADEAU and Condit Street on the east. RAOD David Miller, 2883 Condit Street, reported that he and his wife have petitioned for the vacation so that they can construct a garage on the south side of their house. Miller indicated that there had been a garage in this location previously, but due to its disrepair, it was removed. In applying for a building permit to replace this garage, they were informed of the unimproved Nadeau Road right-of--way immediately south of their property. The existence of this unimproved right-of--way requires that the new garage be set back 30 feet their south property line. Miller further indicated that he has been informed of a proposed thoroughfare plan for the property immediately behind his house. He stated that he had previously been unaware of this plan. He noted the City Administrator's recommendation that a condition. of the vacation be that 25 feet of road right-of--way come from the north portion of his lot. Additionally, the City Administration is recommending the dedication of 17 feet of additional right-of--way for Condit Street from the east edge of the Miller property. Miller stated that he was not agreeable to the dedication of these rights-of--way. John and Mark Cn'ant, 2901 Condit Street, stated that they supported the vacation of the Nadeau Road right-of--way as requested, but did not support the thoroughfare plan for the property behind their home. John Grant felt that there were alternatives to the layout of this thoroughfare plan that could be explored. It was noted that there is a private driveway easement across the Grant property that provides access to 2905 Condit Street. Grant also indicated that there are only four houses abutting Condit Street; therefore, he did not believe additional right-of--way for Condit Street was necessary. The City Administrator noted that there is adequate right-of--way width for Condit north of its intersection with Yorkton Ridge, but not to the south. The Administrator pointed out that it will be necessary to reconstruct
