That the platted street will dead end at the point where it adjoins Wildpines First Addition and that further continuance of the platted street will serve no public purpose. 2. That Maryknoll Drive as presently in use terminates at the intersection of Oakridge goad and that no further development is planned on Maryknoll Drive and that maintenance of that portion of the right-of-way which is undeveloped would not serve the best interests of the City. 3. That in the future sewer service may be extended down that portion of Maryknoll Drive to connect with sewer at Wildpines I and that access for such sewer construction is necessary. 4. That minimum easements for construction purposes are twenty (20) feet and that frequently such easements are too narrow and because the sewer at that portion of the City is extremely deep, that maintenance of a thirty (30) foot easement would serve the best interests of the City. THEREFORE, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Stillwater recommends that the vacation be granted subject to the securing by the City of a permanent easement for sewer construction and maintenance purposes to a width of thirty (30) feet.

The Planning Commission has discussed the location of the garage and the fact that the petitioner is desirous of retaining certain trees on the site in placement of said garage structure. 5. A garage of the type Petitioner desires to construct can be constructed at the front line of Petitioner's dwelling house and extending back therefrom without substantial detriment to adjoining property owners. 6. A garage whose front line is that of the existing dwelling will not cause a traffic hazard to the existing street. 7.
