MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 22, 1995 <br />condemn land. Pedersen pointed out that the cul-de-sac <br />option would require condemnation if the affected <br />property owners do not agree. <br />Fahey pointed out that in the Dianna Lane wall matter, <br />the Council has agreed to spend more money for the <br />option with the property owners prefer. Fahey pointed <br />out that most of the property owners oppose the street <br />option. Fahey felt that the Tima's and Morelan's would <br />be willing to dedicate the cul-de-sac easement, <br />however, it may be necessary to condemn property from <br />the Magnuson's for the cul-de-sac. <br />The City Administrator reported that the Morelan's have <br />indicated that they would consider the cul-de-sac <br />option, but wish to balance that option with interests <br />for their own lot. Mr. Tima may consider the cul-de- <br />sac option realizing that it might be necessary so that <br />he can proceed with his lot split. The Magnuson's have <br />indicated that they prefer the road option, therefore, <br />will not dedicate property for the cul-de-sac. <br />LaValle pointed out that Mr. Tima wants to end up with <br />two buildable lots, therefore, will be receptive to <br />whichever option will get him there. <br />Fahey did not believe it fair to require the entire <br />easement for the cul-de-sac from the Morelan property. <br />Pedersen felt that once Jackson Street is improved, the <br />property owners will realize that the street caused no <br />additional impact to the neighborhood. <br />Fahey pointed out that the Magnuson's may be opposing <br />the cul-de-sac option thinking that the road option is <br />viable. Fahey pointed out that the road right-of-way <br />would be substandard, therefore, he preferred spending <br />the additional money to put in the cul-de-sac option. <br />Pedersen suggested that all things beinq equal, the <br />cul-de-sac option was preferable. However, all things <br />are not equal. <br />Scalze pointed out that the variance from a 50 foot <br />road right-of-way to 40 feet was a 20% variance from <br />standards. A 60 foot radius cul-de-sac to 35 feet was <br />a 66% variance. Scalze also pointed out that the <br />property owners in the area purchased their property <br />23 <br />
