MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 24, 1990 Costa Lane going north to Allen, but not the horseshoe configuration to DeSoto. Costa stated that he wanted to qet started with the development of lots along DeSoto. Fahey pointed out that the horseshoe configuration has less of an impact on the surrounding property owners, and felt that if anyone should be impacted as part of a new plat, it is the developers. Costa suggested pursuing the extension of Costa Lane north with the option of going west if the necessary right-of-way cannot be obtained. Scalze asked the status of the tax-forfeit property. The City Administrator reported that there is a piece of the road right-of-way to the north that is available for the City to pick up. The City has contacted the County requesting information on this parcel. Fahey suggested that action be tabled on the preliminary plat until City staff can contact the property owners to the north to determine if the easements are available. Costa again pointed out that he is giving up property for road right-of-way, and felt that these property owners should give up the right-of-way at no cost as well. Fahey agreed, and suggested that Costa Lane go to the west if the property owners on the north will not give up the right-of-way. It was pointed out that the Plessel easement would have to be purchased., since this property owner would not have a developable lot as a result of the extension of Costa Lane. Milan Moravetz asked if Costa Lane were extended north by a cul-de-sac, if the cul-de-sac would be located on his property. Moravetz stated that he liked the idea of Costa Lane going to the west. It was pointed out that a cul-de-sac to the north would not touch the Moravetz property. Judy Michaud was concerned about assessments to the property owners on Al1en. Fahey replied that if the Costa Estates plat proceeds, it is almost a certainty that there will be improvements to other streets in the area. Page 10
