existing route. The proposed vacation would also eliminate the possibility of access for Pioneer <br />Wood Products onto Limonite Street N.W. if in the future, safety consideration dictated County <br />Road #56 have reduced accesses. He concluded that the existing transportation network is <br />superior to what will exist with the proposed vacation and therefore would recommend the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission find the vacation not to be in the public's best interest. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman expressed he is in favor of the vacation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen stated that the distance from Ramsey Boulevard to the end of the <br />proposed cul-de-sac is 2100 feet and a 2100 foot cul-de-sac is clearly prohibited. He feels there is <br />no incentive for the City to vacate. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated that the vacation of Limonite Street N.W. would prevent subdividing <br />of lots and in his opinion, the proposed vacation appears to be a purely financial venture. He could <br />see waiving blacktopping but feels developing the roads to Class Five should be required. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen stated that when granting a conditional use permit, one condition that <br />has to be assessed is if the hardship is created by the individual. In this case, the hardship is <br />created by the individual. The owners want a configuration that should not be allowed. The City <br />granted them concession to what was required of them and now it would be granting them yet <br />another concession. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Hendriksen to recommend to <br />City Council denial of the vacation of street right-of-way in Gateway North Industrial Park. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
