MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 28,1998 The City Planner pointed out that the plat shows 37.5 feet of right-of-way. The standard right-of-way width is 50 feet. The City Administrator noted that there is 12.5 feet of easement from the parcels to the east, which would then total the required 50 feet. The Council asked about the location of the road within the 50 feet. The City Administrator replied that the road does meander within the ri~ht-of- way in order to avoid trees. Morelan stated that assuming there is 12.5 feet of right-of-way on the west side of the street adjacent to the Kimmes property, Morelan asked if the new road wou(d go down the center of the property. The Planner replied that that is correct. Morelan asked if the road would connect to the looped portion of street. The Planner replied that that is the intent. Morelan noted that in this circumstance a cul-de-sac would not be required at the end of the street. The Planner a~reed. Morelan asked if the existing road is 24 feet wide from face-of-curb to face-of-curb. Kimmes replied that Gilanderi Lane is 24 feet wide. However, there is currently curbing on only one side. Kimmes reported that the road would be continued south at a 24-foot width with curbing on both sides. Fahey asked if there was anyone from the general public present wishin~ to comment on this matter. David Farley, 777 East Viking Drive, expressed concern that the roadway would encroach further onto his property. Farley pointed out that his house is about 10 feet from the roadway now. It was pointed out that the paved road would come no closer to the Farley house. Farley also asked whether or not any filling was ~oin~ to be done in upgrading the road. Farley felt it would not be possible to add fill given the existing 45-degree slope on the southern end of his property. Fahey noted that the road will not extend any further east than already exists. Widening of the road will occur to the west. Farley indicated that there is a ridge that runs through the Kimmes property which wiil not allow drainage from the north to flow south, Kimmes agreed and indicated that the ridge will prohibit water from running south into Lot 5.
