The Administrator further commented that Dan Brausen holds fee ownership of the Brausen property in question, but noted that there may be some other documents relative to the sibling's standing with the back portion of the property. The Administrator also pointed out that the back portion of the Brausen property is not a separate parcel of record. Laurie Brausen stated that the City can determine where the road goes given it holds a 50% mortgage on the property.

Brausen stated that they felt this was in the best interests of the area given it would retain the 33 -foot road easement. Brausen noted the change in bringing road access across from Cherry Hill Lane.

He also indicated that lining up the LaBore Road street access with Cherry Hill Lane is preferable from a public safety standpoint. The Administrator stated that this access became possible when Gordie Howe purchased 2945 and 2959 LaBore Road. Dave Brausen again asked that the City consider his concept plan and create the ability to stub a road in from the Pinetree Pond circle.
