MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 25, 1995 dedication of an easement for the Australian cul-de- sac. The City Administrator replied that those details have not been worked out as of yet. Stevens asked if that were the case, would compensation be on a per square foot basis. The Administrator estimated that 861 square feet would be needed from the Morelan property for Australian right-of-way and that 1,170 square feet could be vacation from the Jackson Street right-of-way. Stevens asked if Morelan dedicated that 861 square feet, if no dedication would then be needed from the Tima property. The Administrator replied that that was correct. Stevens asked what the City was looking for from Mr. Tima at this point. Fahey replied that until the issue is resolved as to whether or not Mr. Morelan will dedicate the 861 square feet, the Tima lot split request cannot be processed. Stevens stated that Mr. Tima's first preference is to utilize the existing Jackson Street right-of-way. If the purpose of the road connection or cul-de-sac is to improve utility vehicle access, the 35 foot versus 45 foot cul-de-sac may or may not be adequate. Stevens suggested that a 40 foot road right-of-way may be the least expensive alternative. If that does not happen, Mr. Tima will not object to the cul-de-sac improvement as proposed in figure #7. Stevens noted that should Jackson Street be vacated, the neighbors would like to ensure that a walkway easement be retained. Stevens indicated that Mr. Tima would have no objection to the vacation of 13 feet of Jackson Street to compensate Mr. Morelan for dedicating cul-de-sac right-of-way. Scalze felt that from a cost standpoint the improvement of Jackson Street would be the least expensive. However, four votes would be needed to order that improvement, and the Mayor has indicated that he will not support that option. 18
