<br />Regular meeting <br />October 10, 2005 <br /> <br />Mayor Adams closed the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />AGENDA #5 - Public Hearing for 830 Wild Cherry Property Vacating <br />Request for City to vacate up to 20 feet of Balson right-of-way adjacent to the south side <br />of the single family residential lot at 830 Wild Cherry. It would allow adjacent owner to <br />improve vacant house and property. <br /> <br />Public Hearing declared open at 7:40 p.m. <br /> <br />Citizens Comments: <br /> <br />Colleen O'Gorman, 2209 Wrights Lodge Rd., St. Clair <br />She and her husband have designed the house to accommodate her 80 year old <br />mother-in-law moving back to University City. It is being rehabbed to accommodate a <br />wheelchair and/or stay in help. They would like to add a two car garage, one garage for <br />vehicle storage and the other for transportation ability to drive up to pick her up. <br />Because of this addition, they are requesting a little extra land. <br /> <br />Nancy Popkin, 833 Lionsgate Dr. <br />She lives behind lot that is requesting additional land. She is not opposed to the <br />request but would like part of that common ground to allow her continuing access to her <br />garden, especially if they put up a fence. She is also opposed to a high fence, in that it <br />would invite crime because no one could see over it. <br /> <br />Joe Hansen, 840 Wild Cherry <br />He was under the impression that this was granted twenty years ago. He thought it was <br />vacated to adjacent property owners at that time. <br /> <br />Public Hearing was closed at 8: 15 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that the next step in this vacating process is that an Ordinance has <br />to be prepared for final Council action, specifically he would like Councilmembers from <br />Ward 2 to instruct him as to what Ordinance to draw up. Ms. Welsch and Ms. Brungardt <br />agreed to do so. Mr. Ollendorff said it would be helpful if the different property owners <br />could reach some kind of agreement and submit that in writing to us. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot asked about all the sewers present there and if there was a drainage problem <br />in existence. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams explained that the green space is a covered sewer and many arterial <br />lines run into the main line there. <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />
