Planning&Zoning Board <br /> September 9, 1998 <br /> Page 13 <br /> beginning 170 feet south of the centerline of Fox Road and ending in a cul-de-sac <br /> approximately 700 feet further south. The right-of-way needed to extend West Shadow <br /> Lake Road from the proposed cul-de-sac to 62nd Street would be dedicated for this use. <br /> The plan includes 15 single family lots. <br /> The City Council and Planning Commission need to decide whether it is appropriate to <br /> rezone this site to a residential district and include it in the Municipal Urban Services <br /> Area at this time. They must also decide whether West Shadow Lake Road should be <br /> extended to 62nd Street now or whether it is appropriate to end the extension with a cul- <br /> de-sac with the potential of extending to 62nd Street in the future. <br /> Mr. Robinson asked about the wetlands south of 62nd Street. Mr. Brixius indicated there <br /> are a tremendous amount of wetland south of 62nd Street which may affect the future <br /> alignment of West Shadow Lake Drive to Co. Rd. J. <br /> Chair Schaps asked if it was reasonable to say that a straight line cut to County Road J <br /> will not happen. Mr. Powell indicated that will not happen. <br /> Mr. Trehus noted the cost to the City for extending the road. Mr. Powell stated that both <br /> West Shadow Lake Drive and 62nd Street are State Aid Road. <br /> Mr. Dunn asked if it was technically impossible to continue the road to the intersection <br /> with 62nd Street. He stated that would be a good option for travelers wishing to go south. <br /> Mr. Brixius stated the street does not have to be extended. A cul-de-sac is an option until <br /> funds become available. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that discussions have been held before regarding the upgrade of 62nd <br /> Street. Ms. Wyland indicated those discussion were about Ware Road not 62nd Street. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated a cul-de-sac would force more people to go north. <br /> Mr. Brixius indicated 62nd Street is in poor condition but could accommodate the traffic <br /> from 15 new homes. <br /> Chair Schaps asked when 62nd Street will be improved. Mr. Powell indicated it will be <br /> at lease a couple years before improvements are made on 62nd Street. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that if the condition of 62nd Street is that poor it should be high on the <br /> priority list of road improvements. Mr. Powell explained there are other areas for <br /> improvement higher on the list. The road is adequate for traffic now. It is a matter of <br /> adding 15 new homes to the road as opposed to more. <br /> Mr. Brixius stated Mr. Carlson is looking for general approval of the concept plan <br /> because it involves a rezone. The Board may outline what they feel is acceptable. <br />
