HEAD'S APPROVAL: <br /> i <br /> MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: <br /> No comments to supplement this report Comments attached <br /> EXPLANATION/SUMMARY (attach supplemental sheets as necessary) <br /> At the February 25, 1997, Council meeting,the City Council received a petition requesting the installation of a bituminous <br /> path across private property between Rosewood Court and 14th Avenue NW. Council directed staff to meet with the <br /> property owners of the lots the path would have to cross to see if a conciliatory arrangement could be worked out,and to <br /> report back in two weeks. <br /> On March 4, 1997,the City Manager and Public Works Director met with Mike and Linda Mezzenga, owner's of the two <br /> lots that would have to be crossed to construct the connecting pathway. The Mezzenga's felt that the installation of the <br /> pathway would affect their privacy and the value and saleableness of their properties. The lot on the east side of the <br /> athway is where their homes is located and given the orientation of the home, the path would literally be on or in view of <br /> iiieir front yard. The lot on the west side is currently vacant. They said that some people from the neighborhood to the <br /> north cut through their lot and then cross Long Lake Road at Rosewood Court to walk to Long Lake Park. They feel these <br /> residents should be using the existing sidewalk on Long Lake Road and not crossing Long Lake Road at Rosewood Court <br /> which everyone seems to feel is a difficult place to cross safely. Installing the pathway would encourage more use and <br /> result in more people having to cross at this location. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> TO DIRECT STAFF TO HOLD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING ON THE REQUESTED <br /> PATHWAY WITH ALL AFFECTED RESIDENTS <br /> 04,14s-i/ 73 <br /> Leslie J.
