Council Meeting Date The Council would consider this item at their April 14th meeting instead ofthe March 3151 meeting. Due to this change, approval of cases #03-06 and #03-07 will need to be conditioned upon approval of !he final plat. Fernwood Avenue The proposed final plat contemplates the Vacation of Femwood Avenue as a city street. A13 shown in the Master Plan, Ferwood Avenue would become a private drive and would be reconstructed to be narrower and somewhat curvy to make the drive more attractive. The applicant believes that doing so will serve to tie the Campns together instead of the current street layout which divides the campus. Guidant would restrict access along !he road during their approximate business hours, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., but the remainder of the time !he road could be used by the public. Guidant reserves the right to restrict access to Femwood Avenue if necessary to insure employee safety. As an alternate route to Cwnmings Park, Guidant would dedicate Guidant Drive North as a city street ("Cummings Park Drive") and would reconstruct the street to city standards.
