LANES DEMONTREVILLE COUNTRY CLUB STREET VACATIONS: Mr. Max Fowler, re- presenting Top Twenty, explained the position of Top Twenty in not wanting to !give up a . - portion of property for the cul-de-sac at the end of Bennett. The cul-de-sac Will not benefit their parcel and they have access from Hill Trail, They would gain a piece 20x 100' if Argyle were vacated and, the cul-de-sac placed at the end of Bennett. The cul-de-sac would be 40 feet from the center of the intersection of Argyle and Dempsey. Mr. Fowler stated that if the City built the cul-de-sac and could assure Top Twenty they would not be assessed for the improvement they might agree. Armstrong said the wording of the easement'agreement could reflect the Council finds that the lots owned by Top Twenty would not benefit by access from the oul-de-sac at the end of Benh0t. This would be included in an agreement that Top Twenty would dedicate that portion necessary for the cul-de-sac,& deed it to the City, the City in return will vacate Argyle. Mr. Fowler agreed with Council- man's Pott's recommendation that no driveway will be constructed to Ile `Pop Twenty property off the cul-de-sac, The City would be responsible for vacation costs on this portion of Argyle, as this secion was not petitioned for vacation. The Engineer will verify the location of the cul-de-sac at at '.Flue end of Dempsey; the City will then vacate Argyle to the north of Dempsey, vacate Argyle from the south end of the oul®de-sae to the north end of Bennett, and vacate Mack entirely, from Lake Shore Drive in. The Administrator informed the Council that no deed was ever recorded for the new location of Hill Trail and no vacation of, old Lake Share Drive was ever recorded. Bennett and Mack are not continuous through streets because part of these streets between 'old"Hill. Trail and kew' Hill. Trail were vacated. The Administrator will meet with Mr. Taleatt about an easement for the cul-de-sac and advise the Council. The Administrator will then have the necessary documents drafted vacating the above streets. Phase Il will include locating the present Hill Trail and then consider vacating those portions of Lake Shore Drive that are not needed and see what the legal status of the title to the City's street (Bill. Trail) is. This will appear on the December 18 agenda. LANES DEMONTI3EVILLE COUNTRY CLUB - OFFT AND MICHELS LOT SALE AND VACATION The City returned lots 526-527 and 612-613 to the County for auction.
