MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 11~ 1995 that this issue has again been discussed at a neighborhood meeting last month, and the neighbors, with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Magnuson, support improvement of cul-de-sacs rather than improvement of Jackson Street. Fahey reported that he asked the City Administrator to put the item on the agenda for this evening's meeting to determine if there is additional information which should be gathered prior to the next Council meeting. Fahey noted that under the ordinance, the action of the Council on this issue must be unanimous since Council Member Morelan will abstain from any vote on it.

Fahey pointed out that the options of a 40 foot right- of-way for Jackson Street and sub-standard cul-de-sacs at the end of Australian and Bluwood would both require variances. Pedersen pointed out the information from the City Planner that the 50 foot right-of-way would allow Mr. Tima to divide his property without need for a variance.
