Home

Councilmember Jeffrey agreed that putting lines through property would decrease property values, but if the City was not ready to do this project, then the line should be taken off the map, even though some day the line might be put back. Councilmember Look stated if the tree farm were to be developed at some point, people would want the City to purchase it because it was a City resource. He indicated this was a road of connectivity and it had a specific purpose. He indicated even if all of the property owners were willing to sell and there was a funding source, he still would not support it. He indicated the City had substantial roads that had to be addressed first. He believed this was an insurmountable task the City was trying to accomplish and he did not want to see any new roads at this point. Councilmember McGlone stated the City was not doing anything that was not common to City practice. He stated he did not want roads taken off of maps. He stated he wanted to plan ahead. Councilmember Wise stated by pulling this off of the map was planning for the future by having a development that came in to be different than what the City was looking at today. Councilmerhber Dehen stated it was important to get the roads in and wherever a road is put in, it would affect people. He stated he had no interest in proceeding with this road, but to pull it back now would create uncertainty for the future. It was Council's consensus that the original line on the map in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan should be moved to align with the right of way as much as possible and there would be no houses acquired. 3) Update on City Project #09-25, Dysprosium Street Reconstruction Moved to the regular Council meeting. 4) Discuss Agenda Process Software Moved to the regular Council meeting.
