COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 provide future access to the area south of the subdivision, which was undeveloped when the Shenandoah 2nd Addition was developed. Community Development Director Grochala indicated the Pineridge Addition has since developed to the south of the Shenandoah 2nd Addition, but no street was ever constructed to connect Fox Trail. Rather, a trail in Pineridge was constructed to the south of Fox Trail. Fox Trail has subsequently become a trail corridor connecting to the Pineridge Trail, and has existed as such for several years. The trail connects Arrowhead Drive in the Shenandoah 2nd Subdivision to Hawthorne Road in the Pineridge Subdivision. In June of 2000, Rick DeGardner directed Engineering staff to survey the area in anticipation of vacating part of Fox Trail, since it was not in use as a street right-of-way. Community Development Director Grochala indicated, although Fox Trail technically remains a stub street, it is not needed for street purposes. Right-of-way is only needed to maintain the existing trail to Pineridge. As a result, it is the recommendation of staff that - west 20 feet and the east 20 feet of Fox Trail be vacated, leaving the center 20 feet to serve as a trail ect to the 15 -foot trail in the Pineridge Subdivision.
