. , City Council Minutes September 20, 1982 Page Seven on regarding the proposed pond in the PUD and reasonable precautions that could be taken for that ponding area. It was the suggestion of the Mayor that the City Council determine whether a fence is needed once the pond is completed. Mr. Jim LaRock requested that the stop signs be. replaced on Holt and School Street and Proctor and School Street. The City Administrator indicated that the contractors have approached the residents.along School Street for their driveway curb cut requirements and all has gone very smoothly except for a.problem with two vacant lots owned by Larry Morrell. The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Morrell has asked for two. driveways into each property. The City Administrator indicated that a curb and gutter serves two basic functions and that curb cuts should not be made unnecessarily. The City Administrator further indicated that Mr. Morrell thinks this is unreasonable and wants to have two curb cuts for each of his properties along School Street. The City Administrator further in- dicated that it is easier to put in one continuous strip of curb and gutter and when the need arises, a curb cut can be made. Mayor Hinkle indicated that Mr. Morrell had a problem with traffic coming through his property at Jackson and School Street and further indicated that he felt a curb cut on School Street at the corner of Jackson and School Street would present a problem, as it would exit into the right turn land on School Street. The City Administrator indicated that those specific properties may be sold and that the curb cut shouldbemade.at the time the use of the prop- erty is determined. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he did not feel the City was unreasonable in not wanting to give curb cuts into vacant property. Councilman Schuldt indicated that he was in agreement. with Mayor Hinkle. ....... Councilman Engstrom indicated that he had talked to Mr. Morrell regarding.his request for curb cuts into his vacant properties along School Street. Council- man Engstrom further indicated that Mr. Morrell would like curb cuts into the" middle of each property and that he would design development around the curb cuts. The City Administrator indicated that the cost of the curb cut is insignificant to the total cost of a development prbject and therefore, could not understand why a project would be designed around a specific curb cut. Councilman Engstrom indicated that he felt Mr. Morrell should have the curb cut if he wants it. Councilman Toth indicated that he Was in agreement with Councilman Engstrom and further indicated that he did not feel the curb cut at the property on .the corner of Jackson and School Street was necessary, but that he should be able to have the curb cut for the property between the two churches on School Street.
