MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 24, 1990 <br />Costa strongly opposed walkway easements feeling that <br />there would be an adverse effect on lots. <br />Scalze felt these easements were working well in the <br />Thunder Bay Road and Ontario Road areas. <br />Costa stated that he opposed the horseshoe <br />configuration because he felt that his prime lots would <br />be located along DeSoto and this would cause for the <br />loss of lots along that street. <br />Fahey stated that he liked the suggestions of running <br />Costa Lane north to Allen or horseshoeing it to DeSoto. <br />It was pointed out that if the Costa Lane was <br />horseshoed over to DeSoto, there is one lot that would <br />be effected in the same manner as the Bruehn lot if <br />Costa Lane connected to Vanderbie. This property owner <br />is not present this evening and not aware of the change <br />being discussed. <br />Council continued its discussion about the various <br />options for platting Costa Estates. <br />Bruehn stated that he had no objection to the Costa <br />Lane connecting to Vanderbie, however, did not want his <br />property surrounded by road on three sides. Bruehn <br />felt the most logical solution was to run Costa Lane <br />through to Allen. <br />Gordie Howe suggested that a variance be granted for <br />Costa Lane to be developed as a long cul-de-sac. <br />Scalze pointed out that if the easements to the north <br />never became available, then the City would be left <br />with an illeqal cul-se-sac. It was pointed out that <br />the Fire Department and Public Works Department are <br />opposed to these long cul-de-sacs, not to mention the <br />difficulty school buses have in manuevering on them. <br />Bruehn stated that until he is ready to sell his <br />property, he does not want to be assessed. Bruehn <br />stated that he would dedicate his 20 feet for road <br />right-of-way at no cost if he is not assessed until he <br />is ready to sell. <br />Fahey stated that he would support the extension of <br />Costa Lane over to DeSoto Avenue on the north. <br />Pete Costa pointed out the expense for making changes <br />in the plan drawings. Costa stated that he supported <br />Page 9 <br />
