MINUTES City Council Dec. 30, 19II7 Buche Lot Blesener~ asked if the str•eet cul-de-sac was located on Tr•act A. Split (Cont.) The Engineer• r~eplied that the cul-de-sac was within str•eet r~ight-of- way. Scalze noted that the pr~oper•ty to the south of the Buche pr~oper•ty appear•s to be wet. The Engineer• agr~eed that the pr•oper•ty was wet and did not think this property could be developed. Fahey suggested that if that is the case that the Sixth Avenue r~ight- of-way be vacated and the City r~eser•ve a utility and dr•ainage easement. The Engineer• pointed out that the str•eet r~ight-of-way for• Sixth Avenue was only 30 feet wide. Scalze noted that the easement on the Buche pr•oper~ty is identified as a utility easement and asked if the City would have pr•oblems if it stor•ed snow on the easement. The Engineer• did not think so noting that the cul-de-sac is slightly less than standar~d size and within the r•ight-of-way. The Engineer also pointed out that if the wor~d "str•eet" wer~e added to the title of the easement, someone might assume that the str•eet could be impr~oved. The Engineer~ felt that the easement was identified adequately as it is. Blesener~ pointed out that Mor•r•ison Avenue has a 66 foot easement. Mr•.
