MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 22, 1990 Blesener expressed concern that the property owner at the northeast corner of proposed Noel Drive and Al1en Avenue did not dedicate the 20 foot easement. Blesener asked where Noel Drive, if improved, would lie in relation to the house. Mrs. Plessel, 490 Allen Avenue, stated that she was aware of the possible road easement when she purchased her property, and placed her home accordingly. Scalze asked what the chances of the City's obtaining the easement were based on the old resolution dividing the property. The City Attorney replied that they were nil. Fahey pointed out that the property owner has acknowledged that she was aware of the road easement. It was the previous City Attorney who did not follow up in obtaining and recording the easement. Mrs. Plessel indicated that she was told about the 30 foot easement, which has now been reduced to 20 feet. Plessel stated that she was in favor of Noel Drive going through, however, was not planning on donating any land to the City. The City Attorney reviewed his letter dated July 9, 1987 in which he indicated that Mrs. Plessel expects to be compensated for the road easement. Fahey pointed out that this cost would be spread over the cost of the project. Blesener asked if any of the southern property owners were in favor of Noel Drive going through to LaBore Road. There was 100% opposition. DeBace pointed out that the proposal of extending Noel Drive to the southern portion of the Costa property and then over to DeSoto, cuts off the possibility of the properties on the south developing in the future. Fahey pointed out that ending Noel Drive in a temporary cul-de-sac that could be extended in the future would resolve that concern. Fahey asked if any of the property owners objected to the proposal of extending Noel Drive from Allen and looping the street over to DeSoto, which had the possibility of precluding development of the southern lots in the future.
