MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 13, 2004 Condit Street for the Hidden Acres development. However, now she learns that there are two property owners who are unaware that their property will be taken for a road. The City Planner indicated that there is no one else's property that would need to be taken for the roadway. There is currently 30 feet of right -of- way that exists for Nadeau Road. An additional 20 feet of right -of -way is needed, and that right -of -way would come from the southern border of the Miller property as well as from the Hidden Acres plat. Matt White, Yorkton Ridge, pointed out that providing a direct access to Condit Street will cause some problems for impacted property owners no matter where that access is located. White indicated, however, that cleaning up the intersection of Burke /Condit/Nadeau will be a major step forward to improving access in and out of this neighborhood. White stated that if the pond remains as part of the Hidden Acres plat, he would hope a liner would be installed to prevent seepage onto his property. White noted that the Park & Rec Commission's recommendation was to explore options to providing access to the Water Works trails. White hoped that that issue would be finalized before the plat so that whatever plat approvals are granted do not preclude options. Gordie Howe indicated that the original preliminary plat submission, Option 3, meets all the requirements of the City's Codes. The City Planner confirmed that that was correct. Howe indicated that he has explored options for a third access, and that is why Options 1 and 2 are before the Commission. Howe reported that Option 1 is very expensive because right -of -way would have to be acquired from two properties, 2883 and 2891 Condit Street. Howe reported that he has met with Mr. Miller, his attorney, and the City Administrator to discuss the Miller property. Mr. Miller's attorney has indicated they would like $90,000 for a 25 -foot strip of property on the north side of his lot. Mr. Miller's asking price, added with Mr. Grant's asking price (2891 Condit Street), plus the cost of moving Mr. Grant's garage makes Option 1 too expensive. Howe pointed out that under Option 2, there is the need to acquire a 20 -foot strip of property on the south side of Mr. Miller's lot. Howe reported that he has checked the affidavits of mailing for the public hearing notices for his development. Both the property owners referred to by Mr. Miller were mailed all hearing notices. Howe pointed out that these property owners cannot be forced to attend these hearings. He also noted that there is a 30 -foot strip of right -of=way for Nadeau Road adjacent to these properties. There is the need for an additional 20 -foot 4-
