Mr. Pechan appeared before the Council in March of 1979. At that time the Council denied his variance request; but, said that if Keats Avenue were brought up to rural standards and a maintenance agreement were entered into with the City it would be reconsidered. Mr Pechan has agreed to these conditions. Mr. Pechan is proposing to dedicate 50 feet for the extension of Keats Avenue. The proposed extended alignment is off -set by approximately 17 feet from the existing Keats Avenue. The Council questioned the necessity of up -grading the present driveway to the present standards of Keats Avenue. Mottaz felt this may set a policy precedent by not requiring the up -grading. He also questioned how many like situations are in the City. This is a separately taxed, land -locked, 6 Acre parcel. Armstrong moved, seconded by Mottaz, to instruct the Engineer to look at and set the standards for the driveway; and, have the City Attorney draft an agreement for road maintenance, dedication and emergency vehicle access to the property. Request tabled until the next meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
