• <br />• <br />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 />
