Motion Carried. ,OE STANEK- EQU ST The city received a letter from Lloyd Grooms regarding a request for the city to provide access to Joe Stanek's property via the road right-of-way alledgedly running south of 180th Street down the section line between Sections 1 and 2. The city administrator reviewed the history of this case dating back to 1970. He noted there were hard feelings between Mr. Stanek and his neighbors. He also referenced previous communications with Mr. Stanek regarding possible solutions to his problem. It was noted that in December, 1988, the city attorney sent Mr. Stanek a letter requesting a response to ten questions regarding his earlier proposal to the city. This letter was never responded to by Mr. Stanek. In conclusion, the city has taken a position that the road right-of-way leading to Mr. Stanek's property exists based on the best records available to the city. The city has suggested that if Mr. Stanek is desirous of having the court's decide the issue of the right-of-way existence, then it should be done at his expense. If, however, his desire is to improve the roadway to provide access to his property, the city has given Mr. Stanek several options to pursue this under Chapter 429 of the Public Improvement Code. The city has also suggested the possibility of vacating the right-of-way in question and retaining a driveway easement -llowing for the type of access he has requested in his previous letters. he city has recommended numerous options for Mr. Stanek to pursue this issue; however, he chooses to reject those options as said options would involve a financial commitment on his part.
