in regard to the vacation. Dean Miller, Planning Commission, stated the
Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend this vacation. David
Peroceschi was present to represent the request.
Todd Hanson, 901 6th Ave., across the street from the proposed vacation,
stated a concern whether city services on that street would be affected by
the vacation and whether it is necessary to vacate the entire depth of the
property. Mr. Russell explained further, saying this would be consistent
with a vacation allowed in 1944-45, straightening out the street
right-of-way and would not affect snowplowing. Mr. Hanson asked whether
this lot could then be subdivided. Further discussion followed.

Mr. Russell explained the requested vacation which would result in
Crestwood Terrace being cul-de-saced and the loss of two lots. Also,
discussed was the possibility of a land exchange and extension of the park
in the area which idea needs to be approved by the Park and Recreation
Commission. Mr. Russell commented on the park dedication and fee process.
Richard Day, 201 Crestwood Terrace, questioned who would pay for the
cul-de-sac. It was stated this is a request of the developer and could be
made a condition of the project.
Dale Beckman, BRW representing the Developer, addressed the turn-around.
Tim Collins, 202 Crestwood, stated he lives next to this area and he would
like to work with the developer for a better turn-around. David Swanson,
representing the Post Office, stated they would like a cul-de-sac for
safety reasons. Mayor Abrahamson closed the public hearing.
Discussion of the need for one-half of Lot 10, acquiring additional park
space, and the price of the land followed. Mr. Beckman added that the
developer does not wish to participate in the cost of the land, because
they took care of disposing of the former dump at this location.
Councilmember Farrell said he would abstain from voting on this issue
because he lives adjacent to the development. However, he feels this is
the best plan for this area.
Motion by Councilmember Opheim, seconded by Mayor Abrahamson to adopt the
appropriate resolution approving the street vacation for a portion of
Interlachen Dr., and that the vacation not take place until the recommended
conditions are met. (Resolution No. 7776)
