George Sticlrney,Developer,and Mark Gronberg, Surveyor,were present on behalf of Bruce Paddock. Gaffron stated the applicants are proposing a multi-faceted application with the ultimate goal of improving the marketability and/or buildability of the two residential properties at the southern tip of Bracketts Point. The application was previously brought forward as a sketch plan,which allowed for a number of policy issues to be addressed by the Planning Commission and Council. The applicant is proposing the following: , • 1. Vacation of the southerly 580�feet of Bracketts Point Road; 2. Re-platting of Lots 1 and 3,Block 1,Bracketts Point,to create: a) A new private road outlot serving 1450, 1480 and 1500 Bracketts Point Road. b) . A 2.00 acre lakeshore lot to replace the 2.00 acre non-lakeshore lot at 1450. c) a 2.84 acre lakeshore lot to replace the 3.72 acre lakeshore lot at 1500. d) A new tennis court outlot,potentially to serve as a neighborhood amenity. The proposed lot line rearrangement is primarily intended to convert the non-lakeshore lot at 1450 Bracketts Point Road into a lakeshore lot. This lot currently does not have lakeshore and is separated from the lake by the 20 foot public road right-of-way and 10-20 feet of land across the right-of-way that is part of 1500 Bracketts Point Road. The goal is to allow replacement of the former caretaker house at 1450 with a new residence commensurate with the upper-bracket homes on Bracketts Point. The applicant is proposing to vacate the southerly 580 feet of Bracketts Point Road which was originally dedicated to the public as a 20 foot corridor in its current con�guration in 1903. Currently,the 20 foot r right-of-way of Bracketts Point Road contains a narrow paved roadldriveway that splits off to serve homes at 1450, 1480 and 1500. It has no cul-de-sac platted or constructed,but both 1480 and 1500 have loop driveways that have eliminated the need for vehicle backing. While these provide for some • minimum level of emergency vehicle access, at the average 14 foot width the existing driveway system PAGE 22
