`tINUTES Planning Commission Oct. 7, 1982 Edgerton & Vanderbie Thoroughfare Plan 3 e The City Planner reported that the City Engineer developed a thoroughfare plan for the entire City some time ago. The Plan was adopted in some fashion and from time to time has been used to evaluate development proposals. In many cases there have been problems with the plan. The Planner reported that Mrs. Neamy on Vanderbie and LaBore Road has requested that the plan be vacated. She owns Lots 16 and 17 and wants to divide these two lots into three parcels. However, before she can do it, the thoroughfare plan would have to be vacated as it effects the proposed subdivision. The Planner stated that the lots on Edgerton are about 400 feet deep and the lots on Vanderbie :re about 270 feet deep. The Planner reported that there are a number of homes on Vanderbie with houses setback far enough that there would be problems in terms of rear yard setbacks should they want to divide their property. Variances would be needed in these instances. There are also houses on Edgerton with their homes located in the middle of the lot that would face the same problem. The Planner stated that about half the properties that would be effected by the proposed street would not benefit from the street because of the above described situation and about half would benefit between Allen Avenue and LaBore Road. The Planner also stated that the cost of the street and utilities must be considered against the lot cost. The Planner stated that it appears that the cost could only be spread between'half of the property owners and, therefore, the cost of the improvement would be too high. The Planner stated that on the north end of the street where it would run into County Road D, the street would run right through ' someone's house. Therefore, the house would have to be acquired and this cost assessed against half of the owners. The Planner also pointed out that there is a large parcel of property that would not benefit from the road. The owner would he better off putting in his own road system to benefit his property to the maximum. Mrs. Timmons stated that she would not want to decide this issue for anyone. The Planner stated that it comes down to what the people in the area want and if the cost of the road would benefit the property. The Planner stated that from his perspective the cost would be too great. Page -6- 00 E)
