The reason for the trail was to provide pedestrian access <br />across the subdivision, since a block of excessive length (1,700 feet) was created when a <br />block in the 3rd addition was added to an existing block in the 2nd addition (Attachments 1 <br />& 2). <br />The trail had not yet been constructed in August 2000, when it came to the attention of <br />the City Council Work Session Meeting of August 23, 2000, via Mr. Petronick, of 6601 <br />LaCasse Drive (Attachment 3). Mr. Petronick expressed a number of reservations about <br />the placement of a trail next to his home, plans for which he was unaware of when he <br />purchased his property. It was reported that "neighbors are also opposed to the trail." <br />After consideration, "council directed staff to proceed with vacating the trail easement," <br />according to the minutes for the September 6, 2000 City Council Work Session <br />(Attachment 4). <br />
