2r COUNCIL MEETING JULY 11, 1994 this area. Mr. Schneider also noted that the Tobish property and the Lehmann properties are not in the MUSA. This situation would have to be changed prior to any development of the land. Mr. John Tobish said he had always thought that 62nd Street would be extended to the west all the way to Hodgson Road. This would allow him to divide his property into three (3) lots. He felt abandoning the easement would landlock him. Mr. Schneider explained that there is no need for a connecting street between Ware Road and Hodgson Road. He also noted the United Power Association easement and the wetlands which are obstacles to developing a street in this area. Mr. Schneider explained that there will be a connecting street between Ware Road and Hodgson Road within the plat, however, this connecting street will wind through the plat and discourage through traffic forcing access to Hodgson Road by way of Ash Street (County Road J) or Birch Street. Mr. Tobish again said he felt that 62nd Street should be continued to Hodgson Road. Mr. Schneider said there is no practical purpose to do this because it must dead end at Hodgson Road. It would only cause problems and "short circuit" traffic. Mr. Tobish said he would try to develop in a different way as suggested by the Mr. Schneider. Harold Lehmann, 525 Birch Street expressed concern that the City may be sorry in the future for not extending 62nd Street west to Hodgson Road. He asked the City Council to not leave his land landlocked. Mr. Schneider explained that there is an easement to Mr. Lehmann's land on the north side of the Tobish property. All three (3) parcels should be developed at the same time to provide a sensible street pattern. Council Member Elliott moved to close the public hearing at 7:06 P.M. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 38 Vacating a Portion of Easement Along the Southern Boundary of Fox Trace. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion.
