<br />Ms. Peterson indicated that homeowners received bylaws on the date of closing. Council <br />Member Broussard Vickers indicated that was a civil issue with the developer. <br /> <br />Council recessed at 8:35 p.m. to change the tape. <br />Council reconvened at 8:40 p.m. <br /> <br />The Association left during the recess. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated she did not like the fact that the road is only 30 feet <br />wide when the City standard is 33 feet wide. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers expressed concern for reducing the size of the road <br />when Council's reason for not taking over Ojibway is because it was substandard. <br /> <br />Mr. Quigley asked that the word specification be used instead of standard because the <br />road is in no way, shape or form substandard. He then indicated it had been suggested at <br />the last meeting that because of the PUD he could change the road. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated there is no reason that it cannot be changed <br />and then asked why it could not be three feet wider. City Engineer Peterson indicated <br />that the structure would be closer to the street because it can not be shifted back. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the driveway would be shorter than a car. <br />Mr. Quigley indicated it could happen. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she did not want to create any more private <br />roads and create more problems. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft clarified that the City does not have problems with private streets, <br />the homeowners association has the problems. He noted that those homeowners have <br />more rights than any other resident of the City would have because of the association <br />documents. He then commented that the association may have to pay to enforce those <br />rights but they do have that option. He further commented that there is no legal issue as <br />to whether the street should be public or private. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if the other cul-de-sac street was public or private. City <br />Engineer Peterson indicated it was private. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson commented that she had a problem with the road being 30 feet <br />wide instead of 33 feet. City Engineer Peterson indicated that the 33 foot specification <br />fits well with a 60-foot right-of-way but noted there is not a 60-foot right-of-way in this <br />instance. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated the road should either be made 33 feet wide or be a <br />private street. <br /> <br />Page 20 of28 <br />
