He asked if the road would be paved or <br />offer city services in the future. He questioned if there was any information regarding <br />the future of the campground (Wapiti Park). <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated the road will continue to be a private street. He discussed the <br />easement and how it would continue to allow access to surrounding property <br />owners. He stated he doesn't know the status of the campground. <br />Mr. Smith questioned the type of housing proposed for the campground land. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated nothing has been proposed to the city. He stated if a road were <br />to come in, it would most likely be on the middle of the adjacent parcel <br />(campground land). <br />There was discussion about possible zoning changes and whether it could affect the <br />road but it was unknown what would happen in the future with any development. <br />Mr. Smith asked if the residents were locked into having a private road or whether <br />they could have a road that is accepted by the city and improved with city services. <br />NATURE <br />
