Councilmember Woestehoff stated that it appears the easement carries onto the southern property <br />and received confirmation that property has access from Armstrong. He asked if that access would <br />remain no matter what is done in this case. He stated that his overall concern would be if something <br />is taken from the southern property if a road does not go through, but that does not seem to be an <br />issue. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill confirmed that at this time in the conversations staff has had, <br />there are no plans for two homes on that property. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if originally this parcel was intended to access from Armstrong <br />but would instead access from the cul-de-sac. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that the property is currently vacant and has a <br />curb cut access to Armstrong that the property would agree to remove. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would assume the properties to the north are not <br />interested in providing their land. She asked the hesitancy of the subject property not to provide <br />the right-of-way. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that there is negotiation that can be had between <br />staff and the property owner. He agreed that the property owner would rather not provide more <br />right-of-way easement. He explained that if the City vacates the easement, it would be an exchange <br />in terms of right-of-way. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that perhaps it would be helpful to show square footage of the <br />easement vacation and right-of-way to show the comparison. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he would agree to have the cul-de-sac more on this <br />property. <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced a recently completed cul-de-sac in a rural area and asked <br />the size. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill replied that there are specific standards within City Code that <br />specify the minimum size for a cul-de-sac. <br />Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to recommend <br />to the City Council to vacate the 66-foot-wide drainage and utility easement upon confirmation <br />that right-of-way be provided to support a standard cul-de-sac on the subject property. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. <br />Voting No: None. <br />5.02: Consider Request to Vacate Road Easement Between 5805 and 5860 148th Lane NW <br />Public Works Committee / April 20, 2021 <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
