MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 22~ 1995 <br />Street. <br />Fahey aqain stated that he felt the street should be <br />made one-way given that the narrow width is such a <br />departure from City standards as well as for safety <br />reasons. One-way would minimize hazards. <br />The City Administrator also pointed out that the <br />property owner at 777 Viking Drive would like some sort <br />of road connection to that driveway. <br />Pedersen felt that the Council needed to resolve how <br />the road would be improved prior to ordering the <br />improvement. <br />The City Administrator suggested that the road <br />improvement be included in plans and specs for the 1995 <br />improvements for the piece impacted by the water main. <br />The project could be deleted or added to by change- <br />order at a later date if need be. <br />Paul Anderson, property owner in the area, felt it very <br />important to establish the existing easement, <br />especially if the property owners are going to pursue <br />State participation in the cost of the road <br />improvement. Anderson stated that the property owners <br />would like the Council to acknowledge the 1934 <br />easements which appear in their individual abstracts. <br />The City Administrator can then pursue State <br />participation in the project based on their obligation <br />established through these easements. Anderson felt <br />that if the easements are established in 1995, the <br />State will no longer be obligated to participate. <br />Fahey replied that the Council would have to defer to <br />legal counsel on this issue, and pointed out that the <br />City Attorney has not completed his research on the <br />matter. In the Attorney's February 17th memo he <br />indicates that records show that 12 1/2 foot easements <br />do exist, but there is some question as to who the <br />dedication is conveyed to. <br />The City Attorney reported that there is no question <br />that the road easements go way back. While some of the <br />easement appear to be dedicated for public purpose, <br />others seem to apply only to certain property owners in <br />certain geographic areas. The Attorney reported that <br />he needed to look at some more records and discuss the <br />9 <br />
