-z- <br />Jul. 15, 1982 Staff report submitted providing additional informa- <br />tion for Council consideration. At that time it was <br />agreed that a resolution would be presented for <br />adoption at the August 9, 1982 Council Meeting vacating <br />the north 210 feet of the right-of-way but retaining <br />the southern portion of the right-of-way, with a one <br />year sunset clause at which time the Council would <br />consider the improvement of the remaining portion of <br />right-of-way for a cul-de-sac. <br />sidents <br />area <br />Aug. 9, 1962 withtCouncilmdevel pedYeesoluti.onfandeconcurring <br />Resolution No. 1469 <br />adopted by the City Council. <br />Aug. 1, 1983 Staff report requesting Council give direction as to <br />what action should be taken regarding the right-of-way <br />which had not been improved over the one year period <br />provided for by Resolution No. 1469. At that time <br />Council directed staff to send a letter to the property <br />owners requesting the right-of-way not be vacated, asking <br />them to advise the City of their intentions regarding <br />subdivision of their property and requesting that they <br />be more attentive to the maintenance of the rear <br />portions of their. property. No response to the initial • <br />letter or telephone inquiries has been received by City <br />staff on this matter. <br />Staff would like to point out at this time that the statements made <br />by the Bremers in their October 17, 1983 letter regarding problems they <br />have experienced with children using the unimproved right-of-way for <br />various activities is correct and the City, on at least three occasions, <br />has had public works crews and equipment level the right-of-way and <br />remove whatever trash was found on the site. Due to the location of <br />the property it would be extremely difficult for the City to adequately <br />control the area to ensure that it is not being used for inappropriate <br />purposes. Copies of all correspondence and reports relating to this <br />item are attached for your information. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff would suggest that the Counr.il consider the <br />possibTtY ofof discussing with the individuals, wishing to have the <br />City retain this right-of-way for their future use sponsibilitynfor <br />property, an agreement whereby they would accept responsibility <br />maintenance and policing of this area over a specified period of time, <br />with them being required to subdivide their property no later than the <br />end of the time£rame agreed upon. In this manner the City would place <br />responsibility upon these property owners to undertake some effort to <br />control the area they are requesting that we retain for their future <br />benefit and further placing burden on them to accomplish'their desired <br />subdi,,ision rarhgr than delavinq it to some indeterminate period of Aft <br />time. . <br />DI'I'/pf <br />Attachmen"s <br />
