MINi7TE5 <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JI~NUARY 25, 1995 <br />additional tree impact with a larger cul-de-sac, and it <br />was not felt that the increased size of the pavement <br />would appreciably benefit the types of vehicles which <br />could turn around on the cul-de-sac. However, because <br />there is more right-of-way at the end of Bluwood, and <br />it would work to put in a larger cul-de-sac. <br />Fahey suggested that a pick-up truck is more easily <br />accommodated with a 35 or 40 foot cul-de-sac radius. A <br />45 foot radius would not accommodate snow storage needs <br />in this instance. Fahey stated that he preferred as <br />large a cul-de-sac as could be put in. Fahey also <br />indicated that he favored a less than standard-sized <br />cul-de-sac on Australian due to the unique nature and <br />size of the street.

It appears the City would need <br />a 20 foot easement, which would leave 13 feet that <br />could be vacated to the property owners. <br />Fahey pointed out that should Mr. Tima be required to <br />dedicate an additional 17 feet for Jackson Street, the <br />Tima property would be unbuildable since once setbacks <br />would be met, there would be only a small buildable <br />area left. <br />Fahey pointed out that at the neighborhood meetings, <br />only one property owner in the area preferred the <br />improvement of Jackson Street. If Jackson Street were <br />improved on a substandard right-of-way, Fahey felt it <br />didn't make sense to make the majority of the residents <br />unhappy. Fahey felt the Council must consider what is <br />best for the majority of the neighborhood. <br />Pedersen also pointed out that the Council must <br />16 <br />
