WHEREAS, a private cul-de-sac has been dedicated cn the plats of Umranne <br />Woods and Janet Acres and the City has suitable underlying road and utilities easements such <br />that no additional private/public roadway dedication is necessary; and <br />WHEREAS, Lot 1 is considered to be a nonriparian lot and shall have no legal <br />riparian access to Lydiard Lake via easement or any other method.
