October I, 1992 A PATHWAY TO ROSEDALE SHOPPING AND BUS SERVICES ~~ '" ß.Uf'-'J ð N {J LAc.~ BruqT /ð.... d.~1Y} I~Q OIt~r l ~ .~ ~ \ij ~ QAKcaar &-- :? P (20. ~,J. c . (rJð,..-^,) On September 28, 1992, the City Council heard a proposal to give Mr. Bruce Anderson, 1708 Oakcrest Avenue, the vacant lot to the east of his property, as shown above. Mr. Sands & Mr. Baldwin of this neighborhood asked that a decision be delayed until the neighborhood could be canvassed to determine what interest, if any, there is in a pathway and gate to Rosedale shopping, and the bus services available there. The decision has been delayed until October 19th. Unless the neighborhood residents express an interest in a pathway to Rosedale, the city will probably go ahead an give Mr. Anderson this property. It would become a buildable, salable lot after Mr. Anderson apportions 15 feet of his existing (comer) property to the 60 feet under consideration by the city for vacating. This was originally set aside for continuation of Aldine Street, but because of the shopping development, it will never be so used. BACKGROUND This neighborhood, bounded by Snelling on the east, County Road C on the north, Fairview on the west and Oakcrest on the south was built up around 1956 by one developerlbuilder. The area south of Oakcrest to Highway 36 was vacant. Rosedale came in, and the neighborhood used this vacant street/lot to get to Rosedale, crossing over the vacant land that is now Pavilion Place. When Pavilion Place went in those living on the south side of Oakcrest got upset and insisted on a fence. The rest of us no longer could walk to Rosedale. When Pavilion Place expanded in 1986 those on the south side of Oakcrest got really upset and insisted on a large wooden fence. At that time Mr. Sands asked the Pavilion Place management for a gate through the fence. But Pavilion's management wouldn't do it unless there was no opposition. Mr. Sands canvassed some of the residents at that time, but because of the opposition of some of the Oakcrest residents, including Mr. Anderson, the idea was dropped in the hope that over time, those residents opposed would get used to the shopping center and let us have a pathway later on.
