MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 24, 1990 Pioneer Park, which he felt would be a factor with traffic using Costa Lane for park access. Moser felt that the Costa Lane extension to Vanderbie plus a cul-de-sac or extension north to Allen would be a hodge-podge of roads in a small area. Jim Michaud, 485 Allen Avenue, pointed out that the Allen Avenue residents are opposed to Costa Lane extending north to Al1en. Michaud felt there was more opposition to this than there was to Costa Lane extending to Vanderbie on the east. Fahey pointed out that the Costa Lane extension to the east causes the developer to lose two lots, plus impacts on the Bruehn property. Fahey suggested that, if necessary, the City could use condemnation to extend Costa Lane to Allen Avenue. DeBace suggested that Costa Lane come in from DeSoto Avenue on the south and end in a cul-de-sac on the north at this time. Fahey replied that another access is needed for Costa Lane. Fahey felt that the City should use condemnation, if necessary, to put Costa Lane through to Allen. Fahey pointed out that condemnation was not addressed earlier because everyone had indicated that the land necessary for the additional easements was for sale. Scalze stated that if the property is for sale, the developer should buy it. DeBace stated that the property owner wants Costa Lane to go through to Vanderbie on his own land and not impact on anyone else. Scalze pointed out that DeBace indicated to the Planning Commission that the City is not interested in Costa Lane going through to Al1en.

Scalze stated that her comment was that if the land was for sale the developer should buy it rather than the City condemning it and going through the time and expense of condemnation. Fahey felt that the Council should focus on what is best for the City. If there is a property in Page 6
