MINUTI',S CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 22, 2001 taken 13 feet came from their property and not the 8.5 feet that the Council discussed. Zoch reporrted that she did not find out until two years ago that the l3 feet was taken rather than the 8.5 feet. Zoch also indicated that it was her widerstauding that the right-of way would be an easement, therefore, her property line would not change. However, she found out that this was not the case. The City Administrator reported that he has reviewed Che Yorkton plat and noted that Mr. and Mrs. Loch signed the plat which dedicated the right-of--way that is being discussed. Mrs. Zoch again pointed out that 13 feet was taken rather than the 8.5 feet discussed by the Council. Mrs. Zoch asked if they can get the 5 feet of right- of-way retwned to them. Fahey noted that the question is how the street lines up not and what makes sense. Fahey pointed out that when Mr. Bougie subdivides his property it may be appropriate to take the additional right-of way needed so that the City has the standard 50 feet of right-of=way needed for a residential street. Fahey noted that the City Administrator has indicated that given the alignment of Condit it would be appropriate to take this right-of--way fi'om the Bougie property. Zoch suggested that some of the additional right-of--way needed should come from the east side of the sheet from the properties which are being developed. Fahey noted that R. J. Marco Construction has expressed a willingness to dedicate right-of--way. Fahey again noted the need for 50 feet ofright-of--way for residential streets. Mrs. Zoch suggested that it was illegal that 73 feet of right-of--way was taken from her property when the indication was 8.5 feet would be taken. Fahey pointed out that if the Zoch's signed the plat, then the taking of this right-of- way was legal. Fahey noted that he does not know what discussions took place between the Zoch's and Larry Lee at the time of the platting of this area. Mrs. Zoch indicated that she thought her corner lot would be 140 feet in depth and the plat indicates 1 12 feet. She noted that this lot does not meet the City's minimum standards. loch reported that she has requested a letter from the City indicating that the lot is buildable, but was never given such a letter. Fahey noted that the lot is a lot of record and would be buildable. Scalze pointed out that the right-of--way for Condit Street will have to line up.
