The Council finds that vacating Rocky Knoll Drive as requested will have no <br /> impact on present or future public accessibility to the nearby Lurton Park <br /> property. <br /> 2. Rocky Knoll Drive does not provide a through connection to Lurton Park; it <br /> terminates in a cul-de-sac approximately 720 feet into the Applicants' properties <br /> south from Sixth Avenue North (CSAH 6). Each of the Applicants' properties has <br /> approximately 190 feet of depth before reaching the Lurton Park property line. <br /> 3. Rocky Knoll Drive has served as a shared driveway serving only the Applicants' <br /> properties since approximately 1969. This is an additional factor that supports the <br /> currently requested vacation. <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
