Extension of Private or Public Road <br />October 16, 1989 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />A) Amendment of the City's street ordinance as suggested <br />in the attorney's opinion. <br />B) Exercise of its road and utility easement to allow such <br />passage without taking it over. In undertaking this route <br />the City would not be involved in the cost for extending the <br />road, removal of tae cul-de-sac or on -going maintenance. <br />The issue of who maintains it in this situation, would be <br />the Homeowners' Association of Wear Lane up to at least the <br />cul-de-sac and the property owner to the north maintaining <br />the balance. <br />C) This would make it a public street at least to the cul- <br />de-sac, clarify the City's interest and as noted in the <br />City Attorney's opinion, this would not require the City to <br />compensate the property owner or developer or abutting <br />property owners in any manner for making it public. This <br />however may set a precedent for other private roads in the <br />City. As an alternative, the City may make it a public road <br />that is privately maintained and assessed. <br />4. Table pending consideration of the plat. <br />5. Indicate that the City is not interested in any type of <br />extension but its willingness to accept an alternate <br />east/west corridor to serve this property on an on -going <br />basis. <br />Recomendation - <br />It is recommended that the Council would prefer that the <br />owner work with the Homeowners' Association to determine if it <br />can be extended. Failing that it is recommended the City declare <br />it a public street (north/south leg only) and that it be <br />privately maintained with the Homeowners' Association maintaining <br />up to the present cul-de-sac and the new subdivider from there to <br />conclusion of his new cul-de-sac. The cost of the extension <br />being borne by the subdivider plus potential cost of removing the <br />existing cul-de-sac when deemed appropraite for removal. <br />Proposed Motion Moved by , seconded by , that the Council <br />direct the subdivider to work with the Homeowners' Association to <br />determine if satisfactory arrangements can be made. As an <br />alternative, the City would entertain at making it a public <br />street at no cost to the City for either extension, construction, <br />or on -going maintenance.
