Mayor Cox expressed concern in regard to the possibility of future resubdivision in the event sewer should come into this area. Councilman Gorham also was concerned about future resubdivision should the cul de sac be vacated. Engineer Raatikka stated there is a 65 foot radius in the cul de sac and there would be costs involving the ditch along the road and legal costs. Attorney Goodrich added that the only legal cost is related to the difficulty in determining what the legal description will be. Engineer Raatikka stated the petitioners should pay the cost because it is to their benefit to vacate the cul de sac and it should be recorded at the City. He is unsure of the cost involved but just guessing~it will be in the neighborhood of $100 to $150. Motion by Mayor Cox, seconded by Councilman Gorham to vacate the cud de sac located 6n the intersection of 155th Lane NW and Nutria Street NW, legally described as follows: Cul de sac is adjacent to Lots 8 and 9, Block 4, Whispering Pines Estates #1. Applicant agreement is to pay all costs related to vacation of cul de sac including drafting of the necessary legal, grading and restoration of the specific tract and any other expenses incurred by the City. The Council in passing this resolution finds that the vacation is in the best interest as the cul de sac serves no useful purpose. Applicant may perform the necessary required work to repair the former cul de sac property suitable to the City requirements which will be reviewed by the City engineer. Should the work not be performed as required, the City will undertake to do the necessary work and assess the property owners. Applicants agree to do the work prior to July 1, 1977.
