The Council could also table the request until the City Engineer returns. Council Member Reinert asked how the neighbors are affected.

The only access of concern to Lino Lakes in the proposed vacation area is the Construction Laborer's Training Facility driveway.

City staff has determined that the use of this area for a roadway is not needed for public purposes, however, the City does need to retain a drainage and utility easement over the vacated area. 8 •
