. .� I��'i�i0 T0: FROi� : SUBJECT: Acting Villa�e i�anager Fublic jdorks Director Dead Lnciing of Heinel Drive At the March 17, 1g69 meeting� the Villa.�e Council. requested. a report from the Publzc Works Directox regardin� the petiti.on from the residents for "dead ending" al' Heinel Dri ve at its west end. The attacbed map indicates the location of the petitioners. There are ap- proxim�,tely 4� parcel.s of properties along Heiuel Dri.ve and 23 property ownexs have si�ned tbe petition. The petition states that Heinel Drive was ori saced. at the west end. Our file of the Korrolln� oreslAd.d�ion does note make mention of this dead-ending. This plat was filed. in 1��56 and the I�einel Drive connection from the west end of the plat to Coiznty Rpad, C was obtained. for ra.ght-of-way by the V'�.11.age in 1951. Tiae Vil].�.ge Code� Section 20.070 (2j) states: "Maximum length cul-ci.e-sacs shall be 500 feet measured, along the centerline from the intersection of origin to end of right-of-way, ---". The reasons for maintaining cul-d,e-sacs the minimum length are; 1• I.�' tbe street happened to be impassable for one reason or another� emergency vehicles would not be able to en�er tbe area. Because this street is so naxrow, it would. not take mucb to cause an obstruction. 2. Maintenance equipment in the winter time would bave t^ travel from Dale Street to tbe proposed cul-d.e-sac, which is approximately 2 mile and then back again. By cul-de- sacing �his stree�, our snow plowi.ng operations would be hampered. 3• I have checked with Mr. Ray King, Rosevilie School Dis- trict Supervisor and, because this street is a sclaool bus route� he is not in favor oi this proposal. Recommendation• It is my recommendation that the petition requesting the "dead ending" of Heinel Drive eas� of County Road. C be denied, and that it remain open at both ends of the street. b7arch 20, 1969 : -;:,;
