RR Tracks /South Owasso Area — (Exhibits 2 & 2A- Pages 9 -10) On the north end, we have a dead -end right-of-way off of Woodlyn Avenue (Sandberg Road). On the south end, two non - conforming uses existing due to inadequate frontage along a public street (167 & 53 South Owasso). The sketch connects these two areas although it appears a building is impacted. The need for a formal thoroughfare plan appears questionable. This opinion is based on the presumption that no expansions are possible on 53, 167 and 3088 without further zoning approvals. This would seem to be the most cost - effective way to deal with this issue. Furthermore, the southerly area may present a redevelopment option given the nature of the existing structures. Desoto /Allen /Edgerton /County Road D — (Exhibits 3 & 3A — Pages 11 -12) The vast majority of this area is the Heinel property. The connection shown to Edgerton appears to occur at 3021. However, this parcel is occupied with a house and garage versus the vacant condition depicted on the section map. The need for a formal thoroughfare plan seems unwarranted here because it would require the presumption of a specific development when many options exist. Desoto could be improved to County Road D. Vanderbie could be extended further north. The sketch depicts large residential lots that seem unlikely to occur. We should evaluate the availability of the additional 16.5 feet from Slumberland to ensure the viability of Desoto. We may have precluded that option when they expanded a few years ago. Burke Lane/Yorkton Ridge /Condit — (Exhibits 4 & 4A — Pages 13 -14) Four property owners make up this area with Sam Fasciana being the largest. This plan could address a number of issues. They are: • Existing dead -ends of Condit and Burke Lane where adequate right -of -way and tum-arounds do not exist. • Potential to vacate right -of -way along RR tracks along 2905 and the Southerly portion of the Nadeau Road if the other proposed connections are made. • Obtain additional Condit right -of -way north of Nadeau Road. A formal thoroughfare plan may make sense here given the different property owners at the north end of Burke Lane and the proposed connection to Condit. The proposed layout seems to be the most efficient given the limited possibilities that exist. However, one could also argue that any additional development would require further zoning reviews giving us the opportunity to address this plan at that time. (My only concern here is the two lots of record existing at the end of Burke Lane. They may be able to construct a home without further approvals. This needs to be verified.) Another option may be to hold a neighborhood meeting to see what the property owners may be thinking and to make them aware of our ideas. Maple Lane/Yorkton — (Exhibit 5 — Page 15) This area would connect Maple Lane to Yorkton Boulevard to eliminate two dead -end situations. We chose not to connect these streets at the time this development was approved due to concern about industrial traffic going through the residential area. A letter of credit was also required to give us the ability to make this connection if the need existed within the first three years of the development. (See Exhibit 6 — Page 16) -5
