MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECENIBER 21, 1994 Scalze felt a 45 foot radius was preferable, pointing out that this is 25% less than the City's standard. Scalze also asked on whose property the cul-de-sac would be placed. Scalze pointed out that the City would be looking at high acquisition costs especially if the City has to compensate a property owner for a lot that becomes unbuildable due to the easement. The Administrator stated that the cul-de-sac will be more expensive since easement acquisition costs will drive up the cost of that option. The Administrator reported that using a 30 foot cul-de-sac, the cost of the cul-de-sac option and street connection option are the same without addressing the easement issue. The Administrator suggested that price estimates can be put together for the various options using assumptions on the right-of-way numbers. Scalze felt it was in the City's best interest to do the street connection, but stated that the Council needs to see the costs for both options. Kajalski stated that Mr. Tima would like a decision from the Council one way or the other on his lot split concept. Pedersen asked if Mr. Tima could wait 30 days for a decision until the Council can review cost estimates for the street and cul-de-sac options. Kajalski replied that that was acceptable. Pedersen suggested that the cost estimates be presented to the Council at their January 25th meeting. Mrs. 5calze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 94-12-424 - DIRECTING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO OBTAIN COSTS REGARDING RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION, INCLUDING THE OPTION OF CONDEMNATION~ FOR A 45-FOOT RADIUS CUL-DE-SAC AT TIiE END OF AUSTRALIAN AVENUE, WITH EASEMENT FOR THE CUL-DE-SAC TO BE TAKEN EQUALLY FROM ALL FOUR OF THE PROPERTIES AT TIiE END OF THE STREET, AS WELL AS COSTS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF A 45- FOOT CUL-DE-SAC AT THE END OF BLUWOOD AVENUE 19
