To: Steven Sarkozy, City Manager From: Steven D. Gatlin, Public Works Director Re: LINCOLN DRIVE PETITION FOR PUBLIC Date: September 11, 1991 �f/ At the September 9, 1991, regular council meeting, the council considered a petition for the extension of Lincoln Drive from Terrace Drive to County Road C -2 and County Road C -2 from Lincoln Drive to Snelling Avenue. The council discussed the petition briefly and moved to continue discussion to the September 16, 1991, work session. The council has previously been provided a packet of information including the proposed sketches illustrating the design concepts which the petition signers are requesting. Also, a copy of the petition was provided to the city council. At the September 16, 1991, work session, a sketch of the proposal will be available. The plan will be discussed in detail with the council. At this time, we have not met with any of the property owners. Staff believes the council should discuss the project and determine whether it is interested in proceeding with the work before detailed informational type meetings are held with property owners or work on the feasibility report started. For council information, a history of the Lincoln Drive project is attached. Staff noted during the presentation to the city council at the September 9, 1991, meeting that because of each property owner wished to attach conditions to the petition, the petition cannot be legally considered to have been signed by more than 35% of the affected property owners. The petition has the same effect as if it were signed by only one property owner. Therefore, a 4/5 vote of the council will be necessary to order the project should consideration of the project proceed.
