<br />Ms. Peterson noted that the other private street would be made public. Council Member <br />Capra indicated that the street has not been built as a private street and Council had <br />requested that it be public before it was built. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated the road would be built to City specifications for a normal <br />public street. <br /> <br />City Engineer Peterson noted that the City standard is 33 feet wide and the new street <br />would be 30 feet so it is slightly smaller than the City standard. He also noted that the <br />cul-de-sac is slightly smaller than the City standard. <br /> <br />Ms. Peterson indicated that Ojibway Drive is 25 feet wide and Council had said it was <br />refusing the street because it was not wide enough for a public street. She then <br />commented that Brian Drive is only 24 feet wide and is a public street. <br /> <br />City Engineer Peterson indicated that the road was built to the public standards at that <br />time and the City standards are now 33 feet wide. <br /> <br />Ms. Peterson asked why Council would not make Ojibway Drive a public street. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that it was her opinion that the street <br />should be made public. Ms. Peterson indicated that making the street public would make <br />things better for the senior housing and there would not be all the fighting that is going <br />on. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra told the story of when she was building on her lot and the <br />neighboring property owners were not happy that the lot was sold and beirig built on so <br />they would throw rocks at the developer's truck. She then indicated she understood the <br />dilemma of the association concerning the trees but noted Mr. Quigley owns the property <br />and, unless the association wants to purchase ail the land surrounding them, there is the <br />possibility that something you do not like will end up next to you. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she would be taking photographs of the road when the <br />snow is off it for her own reference because she is concerned for the association and the <br />condition ofthe road. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers noted that there was nothing that Council could do to <br />get between the association and Mr. Quigley concerning the road because it is a civil <br />issue. She commented that the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation was <br />brought forward for Council review and is not a final decision. She then indicated that <br />her husband is a tree farmer and scotch pines, while nice to look at, are not balled and <br />burlapped for transplant. She further indicated that there is a requirement for trees in the <br />agreement unlike the previous agreement. <br /> <br />Page 19 of28 <br />
