MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 22, 1990 10,000 square feet for a lot, and 11,000 square feet for a corner lot. Peterson pointed out that under these requirements, the Degnan property could not be subdivided. Hartman asked if the project is approved, if City water would be put in on Allen. Blesener replied that it would be likely that Allen would be improved with watermain at the same time. Hartman reported that his property was already assessed for water. Blesener stated that if that is the case, the property would not be assessed again. Fahey stated that the City would likely initiate a public hearing for improvement of Al1en Avenue at the same time, since the larger the project, the better the price. Moravetz asked what improvements would be made to Allen. Fahey replied that it would be likely that the City would improve Allen to City standards, which would include watermain and curb and gutter. Moravetz again asked if his property would be assessed for Noel Drive. Fahey stated that City staff will research the City's records and report on this issue. Scalze pointed out that the question is whether or not the City will force the improvement of Noel Drive to Allen Avenue and LaBore Road. Scalze did not believe that the improvement would fit within the test of being for the public good to justify any condemnation. Scalze felt the alternative to putting Noel Drive through to LaBore Road would be for a side street over to DeSoto. Costa reported that the side streets as recommended by the City Planner would cost an estimated $250,000 and would result in 6 less lots. Costa reported that he would have to add $5,000 to the cost of each lot to pay for the side streets, and this would cause the project to be economically unfeasible. Costa stated that side Page 10
