Whittaker alp® reported that the court date on the covenants is still pending. The DNR anticipate this action_to-be,xesolved before spring. The DNR has agreed to condemn the'tvo lots they areuD�u chasing for the access if the covenants cannot be cleared up through the court action. Although'+most of the -access will be on County right-of-way, about one-third of the DNR:1ots in the 5th Addition will be included. Also, the City will have to acquire an additional 40 ft. of property from Lot 8, which is adjacent to the DNR lot. If the Council approves the plan, negotiations will be initiated with the property owner of Lot 8. If all negotiations, land acquisition, and approvals can be resplved; the access could be completed this year. Whittaker noted the biggest obstacle could be the funding of the road relocations- this will not come out of highway funds. --Eder - County Commissioners have viewed the area and are well aware of the proposal. Need to impress on them the urgency of this project and to convince them that this is a priority need. Commissioners expressed a favorable attitude toward this re- location - agreed it is safer, more logical, separates an activity from residential area, etc. Going to take a push from the City and residents to emphasize the importance of getting this done. --Whittaker - plan has minimized the amount of highway cost; This, alohg with the City providing the remaining 'right-of-way,_will help the City's cause. County has the money - just a question of what they spend it on. In.response to a;..question from the audience regarding the additional 40 ft - road could not be designed any other way and still get the access and parking lot on the lake side of the road. Tried to minimize the amount of property that would be needed for right-of-way.
